Features

Project handed over 6 weeks early.

Utilising the Sync Building System for the bathroom construction removed bathrooms from the critical path and compressed project duration. Rationalising bathroom types also offered improved floorplans, and Sync’s cost effective, quality assured production process enabled specification of higher grade finishes at no extra cost to the developer.

Reengineering the central gold band during construction to utilise fabricated aluminium rather than a traditional composite panel enabled buildability and access advantages. This meant feature façade work could be completed without requiring external access – when the tower crane was recovered, the gold façade was easily installed with a small crawler crane.
