Project Description

RCC were awarded the project after acting as an expert witness at Mediation. The project involved the construction of waterproofed podium courtyards and the full recladding of 40 terrace apartments.

The site was totally encapsulated to allow for the shortest possible construction period. RCC worked closely with the Project Architects and Project Managers to ensure the successful delivery to the total satisfaction of the Body Corporate Committee.

The Challenge

RCC Remediate worked with Peddle Thorp Architects to provide a cost effective design solution and offered the Body Corporate a Guaranteed Maximum Price for the recladding of the complex. RCC Remediate programmed the works to provide the minimise the time that owners and residents were away from their homes

The Solution

RCC Remediate encapsulated the entire complex then undertook the work to the four blocks of apartments throughout winter months. The encapsulation enabled work to proceed in a sequence that minimised the programme duration. Water management was key to this project from approximately 3000 square metres of shrink wrapped roofing.

“The contract has proceeded very smoothly with the project being a real team effort with openness of communication between all parties. The project met the programme despite the numerous challenges with unexpected issues and multiple tenant / owner requests”.

Brett Heaven | Director , N-Compass

“After 12 months of extensive repairs I take this opportunity to thank RCC for the interaction they had with the Body Corporate and with individual apartment owners. The Site Manager was always ready to answer questions and to deal with problems efficiently. The professionalism RCC has shown is a credit to your reputation. The level of communication during the contract was exemplary and your liaison with our consultants showed us you are a considered and responsible operator. The presence often of the company owner – Bob Cunningham – was very much appreciated. It was a pleasure to have RCC on the team”.
