Most rectification and refurbishment work happens in buildings that cannot simply close. Residents still live there. Tenants still trade. Patients still arrive for appointments. Building in a live environment demands a different way of thinking: safety and amenity come first, and every activity is planned around the people who use the building.
Edina specialises in delivering construction work in occupied and operational buildings across Melbourne, from apartment buildings and mixed use developments to offices, retail centres and medical premises.
SEPARATION AND SAFETY
Engineered scaffold, wrapped and screened façades, hoarding, covered walkways and clear segregation of the public from the work zone.
STAGING AND SEQUENCING
Works broken into defined zones so only part of the building is affected at any one time.
ACCESS YOU CAN PLAN AROUND
Apartment entry booked in advance with residents, lift protection and bookings, and car park and loading dock coordination with building management.
NOISE, DUST AND ODOUR CONTROL
Noisy and disruptive works scheduled to agreed hours, dust extraction and protection, and low-odour products where available.
SERVICES CONTINUITY
Planned shutdowns of water, power, fire systems and lifts, agreed in advance and kept as short as possible.
COMMUNICATION
Resident and tenant notices, regular updates and one point of contact for questions and concerns.
PROTECTION OF PROPERTY
Floors, furniture, finishes and common areas protected and returned clean at the end of each day.
- Occupied apartment and mixed use buildings
- Office buildings and business parks
- Retail and hospitality tenancies
- Medical, allied health and professional premises
- Education, community and childcare facilities
- Car parks and building services areas
On St Kilda Road, Edina delivered façade replacement, balcony reconstruction, waterproofing, glazing, roof and basement rectification in a six storey building while most residents remained in occupation. The project relied on controlled access, staged works, consultant input and clear communication with the owners corporation and residents.
Edina Building Group operates a management system certified to ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety). Every project is planned, built and documented under the same certified quality, environmental and safety processes.
