Tyre Store
Services Provided: Design & Construct
Construction Period: 22 weeks
Size: 1,800m²
Completed: April 2017
Client: Beaudesert Tyre Store
Contract: Fixed Lump Sum
RAC undertook a complete re-design of the building once being awarded the contract and achieved the following:
- Created a basement space with capacity for 24 carparks by elevated the building and using the natural contours of the site, effectively doubling the Gross Floor Area
- The basement consists of 30 off-form concrete columns; the single-pour suspended deck required 300m³ of concrete; and there are 24 pre-cast panels forming the external walls
- No major clashes or defects and panels were in place within 6hrs
- Use of bricks and metal wall cladding to articulate the façade that surpasses the standard ‘industrial shed’
- Change of construction typology to concrete tilt-panel allowed for a more efficient build in both time and cost
- An extremely high quality street presence that directly responded to the site by engaging the street
Our efficient processes and neat, quality work ensured there were no cost or time over-runs and the client was moving in prior to the programmed completion date.
