Building for Tomorrow

The First Building in Australia's Newest City is Taking Shape.

Significant progress has been made over the past month at The First Building of Bradfield City Centre, home to the Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility. September saw multiple milestones as we successfully poured the office slab, the manufacturing halls’ columns, and the south wall, further reinforcing the project’s structural integrity. The team is currently preparing the plinths for the structural steel column pour. Concurrently, the excavation of the site’s entrance roads is underway, with ongoing compaction of the fill material. 

The arrival of structural steel on-site this week is a pivotal moment on our project timeline, which will be closely followed by the pouring of the manufacturing hall ground floor slab, leaving only the central spine slab on the horizon.

Some great innovations on the project include the introduction of rammed earth walls, carefully crafted from selected raw materials to mimic the natural landscape’s composition. Our commitment to sustainability shines through in the project’s rainwater harvesting capabilities, designed to collect and store rainwater for potable water offset and landscaping irrigation. 

The building’s sustainable design prioritises comfort and environmental harmony. It offers shade during the hot summer, passive heating during winter, and natural airflow, fostering a strong connection with the surrounding environment through unobstructed views and abundant natural light. 

We thank our team for working together, being creative, and ensuring we consistently produce excellent results.
