QIC DESIGN and FITOUT MARTIN PLACE

QIC approached us with their vision to relocate their staff into L34, 52 Martin Place with a heavy focus on sustainability targets. Under a design and construct contract, we were involved with undertaking schematic fitout design, design development and documentation in line with energy efficiency targets and objectives such as workplace target density. The tenancy was primarily open plan to capture harbour views. We installed a total of 69 workstations, 12 hot desks, offices, quiet rooms, formal reception and client waiting area, boardroom, meeting rooms, kitchen, staff breakout area, semi enclosed utility areas, comms room with dexion compactus units, storage room and amenities.

Challenges faced include ensuring the design and installation conforms to technical provisions and accommodates the base building infrastructure. The design and build also had to conform to the building system’s NABERS Energy target rating.

A timely high end fitout was undertaken within original budget, with staff relocating to the new office space by desired date.

ST VINCENT’S DE PAUL

Rotric Constructions secured the St Vincent’s De Paul storage warehouse refurbishment and shop fitout for vintage clothing and homewares.

The Project included upgrade works to increase the power capacity, new kitchenette, changing rooms and amenities. Rotric Constructions utilised our depth of experience in using recycled and reusable finishes. The diverse range of finishes consisted of recycled material such as recycled tubes, pipes, mirrors and doors, pre-used objects and customised pieces. Recycled timber was transformed into clothing stands, and roller shutters were reused to incorporate into the structure of clothing stands and benches.

Works also included a new mechanical switchboard, feature pendant lights, fire rated sliding door, new ramps and stairs and prefinished insulated ceiling panels. We provided value engineering solutions such as an alternative flooring finish to resemble concrete flooring, adding measurable value for the client. Challenges faced included complex problem solving to determine the location and sufficiency of the power supply to the existing warehouse. We also had to ensure detailed building methodology was in place, particularly in regards to utilising recycled materials and achieving the high-end finish we delivered.

Rotric Constructions completed the project within a tight timeframe ahead of the opening day of the shop.

QIC PITT ST OFFICE UPGRADE

Rotric Constructions was engaged by QIC to transform the existing premises into that of a corporate setting for their offices. The project included the refurbishment of the entry, reception, boardroom, meeting rooms and offices.

We installed floating ceilings in the reception lobby and boardroom as a focal point. Timber acoustic insert tiles were used for ceilings as well as stunning polished timber flooring. Sound rating was of great importance in particular for the boardrooms and meeting rooms, of which we delivered on these specified objectives. We added a stone feature to the boardroom with joinery cabinetry and desks.

The team at Rotric Constructions has an excellent track record in working with building managers, both in public spaces and tenanted fit outs. All works were implemented on time, within budget in a safe, harmonious manner.

Bank of China

Rotric Constructions secured the Bank of China Ground Floor Fitout Project. The project involved the conversion of the existing dental practice into a bank, new shopfronts and basement works. We installed over 300 security boxes, vault, tellers and the relocation of a 2-tonne safe door within a constricted working environment from the ground floor to basement. We ensured no damage was made, keeping close communication with stakeholders, and that tight security measures were adhered to throughout the course of the works.

CHIPPENDALE CHILD CARE CENTRE

Rotric Constructions was engaged by the City of Sydney to meet the increasing need for state of the art childcare centres in the city. We aligned with the Client in their commitment to improved environmental sustainability, placing a focus on delivering ‘green design’ elements in our build. This included sustainability improvements such as improvement of airflow and temperature control, environmentally friendly building materials and energy efficient fittings.

The Project involved the refurbishment and fitout of the existing premises, involving the internal space and outdoor area. The outdoor area included a playground, the installation of a shade structure, sandpits, garden planters, landscaping and fencing.

Internally we created offices for staff, a communal learning area separated off from the children’s sleeping arrangement space via sliding doors and amenities. Toilets were set particularly low to accommodate toddlers, and the facilities provided were child friendly with heightened security during the works.

Rotric Constructions rose to the challenge of delivering a high quality project while working with children on site. Compliance issues were met. Stringent methodologies and care was placed around the health, safety and wellbeing of children, as well as keeping the operation ongoing during works. Noise was kept to a minimal due to environmental sensitivities including the location of the premises being adjacent the Pine St Creative Arts Centre and situated in a quiet residential area.

HENRI LLOYD RETAIL FITOUT

Rotric Constructions secured the shop fitout project for marine lifestyle brand Henri Lloyd, as part of the brand new opening of Chatswood Chase Shopping Centre. Brand new timber flooring was installed and specialised fittings was sourced so as to suit the brand’s image and style. The project involved a new shopfront, joinery, installation of light fittings and signage. A thorough approval process was undertaken before manufacture of specialty items including brand signage. From the beginning of the project to completion, our team kept close communication with the client.

Rotric Constructions rose to the challenge of working in line with other builders and trades completing other projects within the shopping centre. Concise timing and planning was undertaken to avoid any disruptions to other works. We delivered a high quality, memorable fitout within the tight timeframe.
