construction of a new brick security fence and protective fire-wall in Vermont South – Trade Place.

Our services for this new brick security fence and protective fire-wall in Trade Place, Vermont South included managing all aspects of the design, permit and construction stages.

– concept stage –

The concept design stage for this brick security fence and protective fire-wall included the following key considerations:

• Location of existing and redundant in-ground gas infrastructure
• Hand demolition required for all brickwork
• Working from the adjoining owner’s property
• Demolition of redundant in-ground concrete footings adjacent to in-ground gas infrastructure
• Night works required due to extreme heat

Our ‘order of cost’ included an estimate of costs, the project scope, general specification, health and safety requirements, assumptions and further investigative work required during the ‘develop’ stage.

– develop stage –

We provided recommendations for cost-effective consultants including a draftsman, structural engineer, geotechnical engineer and a building surveyor.

We managed the design team and performed site inspections to confirm the location and depth of in-ground services including power, water, gas, Telstra, NBN, sewer and stormwater.

The design of this brick security fence and protective fire-wall triggered several permit requirements including council and authority report and consent, build over easement consent and a planning permit.

We managed the building permit application process on behalf of our clients and provided them with copies of all stamped documentation, permits, insurances and certificates.
