Project Overview
Portofinos in Hamilton is a residential aged-care development designed to provide high-quality living spaces in an exclusive, highly sought-after location. We were engaged during the construction phase to primarily provide building set-out services, complemented by a range of additional surveying services.
Surveying services provided
Our primary service involved set-outs for the foundations and new buildings, starting at the basement level and continuing up to the penthouse floors as the buildings were constructed. The land tenure had to be updated to provide road dedication to the council, and boundaries were defined to distinguish lease areas on the ground level. Additionally, we conducted a detailed contour survey to create a 3D model, which was provided to the architects to assist with their design. Once the ground-floor retail areas were completed, we measured them to facilitate the registration of leases.
Challenges and solutions
Working within multi-level buildings and crowded spaces, with busy work areas, always presents numerous challenges. Our team carefully planned around these conditions to deliver our services successfully, without disrupting other construction activities or delaying the work. This approach allowed us to meet the various project deadlines and contribute to the timely completion of the entire building project.
Outcome
The Portofinos development in Hamilton was successfully completed, with our involvement ensuring the smooth execution of the project, from initial site surveys to the final as-constructed surveys. The building now stands as a modern, high-end residential development, offering luxurious living spaces in a prime location. Our extensive experience in the aged-care residential industry in Brisbane continues to support our ability to provide a comprehensive range of surveying services for new aged-care developments.
