Apartment construction
Multi-residential buildings of up to 182 apartments.
Apartment construction is what Calibre Construction Group does most. The company's record runs to 1,001 completed apartments across Sydney, in buildings from 3 boutique apartments at Darling Point to 182 across two buildings at Arncliffe, with most completed projects between 40 and 130 apartments over one to three towers and one or two basement levels. Calibre delivers class 2 residential buildings under the Design and Building Practitioners Act, with regulated designs declared by registered design practitioners and the building work declared before the occupation certificate application, and it holds a current NSW contractor licence in the builder class. The projects are concentrated in the south west, the inner west and the north, in suburbs where Calibre has built more than once, and every one on record was delivered under a design and construct contract where the delivery form is stated. That record, project by project, is set out on this site.
Calibre's apartment work covers the full range of a class 2 residential building: basement excavation and structure, in-situ or precast concrete frame, envelope, services, fit-out, landscaping and common areas, through to occupation certificate.
Most projects are on consolidated sites in established suburbs, with occupied neighbours, tight boundaries and staging constraints. The sequencing of basement, crane, structure and envelope is settled at pricing rather than discovered on site.
How it runs
Basement and structure
Excavation, shoring, basement structure and the concrete frame, in-situ or precast depending on the site and programme.
Envelope
Facade, windows, balconies, waterproofing and roofing, with the acoustic and thermal performance the consent requires.
Services and fit-out
Hydraulic, electrical, mechanical and fire services, then internal fit-out floor by floor.
Common areas and landscape
Lobbies, lifts, pools and terraces where specified, and the landscaped grounds.
Certification and handover
Occupation certificate, strata documentation, defects inspection and handover to the developer.
