KPMG (VIC)
Contract value: $29.0m
Client: KPMG / J.G.L Investments
Completion date: December 2006
This refurbishment included major structural demolition, concreting works and the replacement of all services in the ceilings whilst not compromising the heritage listed banking chamber. This involved restoring many original features including the vaulted ceiling, fluted columns, and the marble entry. Stone was sourced from quarries in Italy to match existing materials. Aluminum was also procured from overseas to meet the exacting requirements of the job.
The site remained operational throughout the renovation. The outcome is a leading example of working on a heritage listed property.
Heritage Buildings
Work on heritage listed buildings is varied and highly specialised. The beauty and character of the building needs to be maintained and enhanced which adds a degree of complexity to these projects.
Often, the aspects of the building that give it its unique characteristics require a unique building approach. Matching surface materials and finishes, managing regulatory bodies and satisfying interested stakeholders requires a higher level team on the project.
Our team at Built have the skills and experience to manage the unique characteristics of heritage work, even down to recording the progress of works for historical purposes.
