22.01.2022 Construction update! Thanks to our Development Manager, Jon for the update and photos. The lower ground carpark formwork propping is being removed and the services install has commenced, whilst the lower ground apartments have been inspected by the BCC plumber and the waterproofing has started. Meanwhile the ground level (level 1) has been propped full of scaffolding for the concrete pour above of level 2!... Points of interest to note: The gold door frame colour is a precoated finish on steel door frames to pool area. This is a high anti-corrosive undercoat as we can expect salt in the air in the pool zones. Unit tags on walls - these plans and sign-off sheets will track unit changes and trade completions. The trades physically sign the sheet when they complete the unit, as well as complete the online Procore sign-off.

15.01.2022 Construction update! Thanks to our Development Manager, Jon, for the update and photos! As the building 2 second pour is expected to take later this week, you can see the final steel fixing being completed. Note the huge amount of reinforcing steel as well as the post tensioning strands in this slab. Block work is almost complete on last week's slab pour area of building 2. Once complete, the formwork from the level below will be brought up and start forming the level 1 deck.... All slabs on ground (carparking and apartments) are completed for buildings 1 and 2. The spa and pool shells are ready for the surround slabs to be formed. The adjacent yoga, gym, salon, massage and consulting rooms slabs are poured. All bulk earthworks are complete so there are no more diggers and trucks on site moving fill.
