Northpoint Tower is a four storey office building at Lavinton, Albury NSW and is Zauner Construction’s own development on the site of the Zauner office built over 50 years earlier. The building comprises the office lobby and three tenancies (Lavinton Library, WAW Credit Union and Ze’ Cafe) on the ground floor and four office floors.
The building is constructed to be environmentally friendly and in accordance with ABGR systems including the following features:
* Retain and re-use of rainwater to provide cooling tower make-up and toilet flushing;
* Energy efficient mechanical three pipe system allowing energy to be transferred from warmer
zones to cooler zones of the building in an energy efficient manner;
* Energy efficient fixtures and fittings including various LED lighting and corridor function controls to amenities and stairwells;
* Solar efficient performance glazing;
* Solar power and gas boosted hot water to amenities.
The builder engaged all local D&C services sub-contractors and a local structural engineering consultant.
The standard of finishes specified were high and well executed in keeping with a long term investment building.
The construction site was very restricted being located in the CBD of Lavinton with a busy shopping centre directly across the road. Careful planning of the construction sequence, traffic management and neighbourhood consultation was needed to ensure that the project construction was completed with minimal inconvenience to the public, demonstrating the skill and professionalism of the management team.
