The Hindmarsh Difference
Hindmarsh was initially engaged for a 10 week ECI phase. During this time Hindmarsh worked closely with all stakeholders to full understand the intricacies of the project. Through this open, honest and collaborative approach Hindmarsh were asked to bring the project to life as the Design & Construct contract partner of choice.
Hindmarsh completed this high quantity project well in advance of the contract program and with minimal interruption to the school operations.
Structural modifications were needed to be made to the existing internal walls and this required temporary propping and installation of new steel beams and lintel. These works were completed in a compressed time-frame during the Christmas Holidays, to ensure that the classrooms could be used by the students upon return from leave.
