The facility consists of four levels, with three levels of bedrooms and common areas and a basement for car parking and back of house facilities including kitchen and laundry.
Richard Crookes successfully condensed the ECI period and working closely with Catholic Health Care managed to complete the project within the client’s time period.
The construction was tiered to suit the natural slope of the land which necessitated composite structures – slab on ground and fully supported, including the management of an eight metre batter.  A prototype bedroom was constructed within a freestanding cottage early in the project to allow the client to easily make final finishes decisions.
Testing and defects rectification commenced eight weeks before Practical Completion, so that a defects free handover was achieved.
The building is dramatically enhanced by a 12 metre cantilevered Porte Cochere which gives ‘address’ to this very well constructed building.
