The project involved the refurbishment, alterations, and services upgrade of the existing heritage-listed St. Joseph’s College Chapel, built in 1938.  Works included:-    * Demolition of the existing Apse Walls; decommissioning and removal of the existing electrical services; removal of all existing lead paint to the walls and decorative ceilings; the erection and dismantling of a large high birdcage scaffold to the main chapel floor, Apse, entry, vestibule and four stairs; and new electrical and fire services.
* Render and white-set plaster to existing walls and columns; new plaster moulds for columns, arches and vaulted ceilings; new marble altar, baptismal font and flooring; new timber flooring and steps to the Apse including a new disabled timber ramp.
* The 21 existing solid timber-framed doors in the chapel were restored to the original finish. The work took eight months to complete and was carried out during the school term, with 1000-plus students and staff in residence. The finished project is an outstanding restoration achievement, finished to the highest standard of workmanship and quality.
