Eden Hill Primary School needed its autism classroom transformed, more usable space, better layout, modern finishes. The room was outdated and no longer fit for purpose.

The scope covered demolition, ACM removal, new tile ceiling and baffle blocks, raised timber flooring, carpet tiles and vinyl, stud-framed walls, glazed doors, high-level window glazing, kitchen joinery, plumbing, electrical, and painting. A full interior rebuild on a live school site.

Two things made this project non-negotiable on timing and safety.

First, asbestos. The existing ceiling sheeting and floor lining both contained ACM. Removal had to be carefully coordinated so no staff or students were on-site, with licensed contractors, independent air monitoring, and clearance certification from a hygienist. Full-time supervision throughout.

Second, the deadline. Works had to wrap up before the end of the January school holidays. Miss that window and the school year starts without a functioning classroom. There was no flexibility.

Secure

ACM removal was coordinated with the school to ensure no staff were present. Licensed contractors handled removal with air monitoring and independent clearance certification. Full-time supervision throughout the high-risk phase.

Deliver

The building permit was lodged promptly to prevent any delay to the start date. Kitchen joinery had a six-week lead time, flagged to the client at submission, ordered immediately on award, shop drawings approved on time. No schedule impact.

Work

Full interior rebuild, demolition, new ceiling, raised timber floor, carpet tiles and vinyl, stud walls, glazed doors, high-level glazing, kitchen joinery, plumbing and electrical. All sequenced to hit the holiday window.
