Winner of 2011 MBA NSW Award – Retail Buildings up to $30 Million.
Kotara Homemaker Centre is the third bulky goods project that Taylor Group has built for BB Retail Capital. The facility was completed three months ahead of schedule, enabling retailers to trade prior to Christmas.
The four hectare site features many of Australia’s leading retailers in 22 individual units, six of which were fitted out by Taylor Group. The centre also includes a Domayne store and car parking for more than 500 cars. Substantial works to RTA roads were undertaken, including the upgrade of four intersections and one new access bridge.
The Taylor design and construct team assisted in minimising costs by proposing a redesign of the structure and the utilisation of a hybrid system of composite precast panels, as well as tilt up construction. The layout of the 30,000 square metre building area suited the use of varying systems at the front and rear. The use of offsite precast panels reduced time off the program.
