Case Studies
Week 6 of the City Project
The suspended ceiling grid is in, work has commenced on the internal partitions. We’re working closely with the Architect to fine tune the original set out dimensions. When you’re working with an existing structure there is always minor adjustments to the layout.
Week 5 of the City Project
1st Fix services to the ceilings is largely complete. The plumber is undertaking first fix pipework to the bathrooms with the electrician to follow shortly after. The suspended ceiling contractor has commenced installing ceiling grid. Overall, it’s a critical time on site – we’re almost 50% through and notably tracking to the original programme. We have great collaboration with the sub contract teams and positive feedback from the Body Corporate.
Week 4 on the City Project
We’re framing out the bathrooms and continuing 1st Fix Services & passive fire treatment to the curtain walls. The ceiling void is approximately 400mm & down to 100mm in places where there are down stand beams. We have co-ordinated the services carefully in the ceiling void, working as a team to mitigate clashes in pipework etc
Week 3 of the City Project
Demolition is complete, 1st Fix services underway. The external perimeter slab to curtain wall connections need specialist passive fire treatment to floor and ceiling. Build materials need to be either cut down to fit in the lift or walked up the fire stairs.
Week 2 of the City Project
Demolition is well underway. The demolition sub contractor is sorting materials and recycling where they can. We have residents above and below the fit out floor with restricted working hours for noisy work. Loading out is also restricted. IDB is working closely with the Body Corporate for noise compliance.
IDB is Pre-Start at The Double Floor Fit out in the City
Considerable time is taken upfront to programme the work carefully. We liaise with the Body Corporate for site access & operational compliance. The sub contractors understand its a collaborative team effort. Communication is key.
Design & Build Partnership with Moller Architects
IDB is pleased to announce a design & build partnership with Moller Architects for a double floor fit out in Auckland CBD. IDB will be documenting the fit out process over the next 3 Months. In a world of CAD Drawings it great to see old school renders as part of the initial concept.
