Alterations & Additions - North Bondi

The Owner’s Corporation of this 3 storey walk up 1940's apartment building in North Bondi were seeking project management of an extensive alterations and addition project. SPMA worked with the OC to guide them through the initial tendering stage, throughout the works and into the defect warranty period.

SPMA played a crucial role in the provision of guidance to the OC in managing owners and residents as works were conducted whilst holding full residential occupancy. The extensive works provided not only a BCA and functional upgrade, but provided additional living space and aesthetic enhancement of the building to Owners. The sale of the newly created apartments offset the cost of the upgrade works.

SPMA facilitated an Early Contractor Involvement contract to undertake preliminary investigations prior to commencement of main contract works. This early involvement identified several site issues previously not identified and served to mitigate the risk of variation blowouts to the Owners.

The works included:

Creation of 2 new basement apartments
Creation of 2 new mezzanine levels above garages
Creation of loft space with balconies to 2 rooftop apartments
Full replacement of roof
Full re-skinning of facade
Replacement of all windows
Creation of balconies to all pre-existing apartments
Fitout of new basement apartments
New cavity ties and lintels
Fire upgrades including hydrant booster system
Replacement of staircases
Electrical upgrades
Installation of intercom system
Aesthetic upgrades to common areas
Strata subdivision
