Team Taylor recently joined UNSW Construction Management and Property students to discuss construction methodology and procurement management of the Scape Kingsford project.
Peter Yamin (Project Director) and Christina Succar (Graduate Site Engineer) presented to students an overview of the 18-storey student accommodation project, detailing key initiatives adopted, challenges encountered, and the procurement process.
The guest lecture began with a comprehensive company profile of Taylor, whereby Peter highlighted Taylor’s extensive experience in the construction industry, iconic projects delivered, and company-wide diversity and community initiatives. Following this, the pair explained the construction methodology and key initiatives adopted at Scape Kingsford, exploring various aspects including demolition and earthworks, the building’s structure, the curtain-wall façade system, and the final fitout and finishes. The students were particularly fascinated with some systems featured on the project, including the logistics and planning behind the jumpform system which allows for efficient construction processes.
