PathWest needed a new pathology collection centre built out from a vacant tenancy in Ellenbrook, to a specific prototype design and delivered on time. The building had occupied residential tenancies directly above, so noise management and careful scheduling were non-negotiable from day one.

Two things required active management throughout.

First, the residents above. Noise levels had to stay within acceptable limits during the entire build, in a mixed-use building with no shutdown option.

Second, an NBN cable struck during floor chasing that hadn’t shown up in the pre-works scan. Reported, investigated, and resolved, but it reinforced the need for contingency thinking on every live-site build.

We completed the full fit-out in line with PathWest’s prototype design, keeping noise within acceptable limits throughout. When a delay to the occupancy permit arose from a fire detection system issue the client couldn’t resolve, we raised a variation to subcontract the fire test and keep the project moving.

Delivered on time. PathWest had their Ellenbrook collection centre open and operational as planned.
