Completed Projects

Value: $38 million.

Since the commencement of the Durham Green Retirement Village project, PBG has worked closely with all consultants for the project in developing and designing the self-care villas, aged care facilities and community buildings. Prior to the construction of this development, the site had electricity and water capacity for one dwelling only. When this development is completed the site will consist of 168 dwellings and a 46 bed aged care facility for both low and high care to the highest standards. The typical dwellings on this site are constructed of waffle pod floor slabs, brick veneer external walls, partial render and face brick facades, metal deck roofing with internal designs complying with SEPP (Seniors Living) 2004. The aged care building is a three level low and high care facility with community amenities including an arcade, restaurant, bar, library, pool, communal hall and courtyards.

The University of Sydney appointed PBG as the head contractor to undertake the design and construction of student accommodation at their Camden Campus. PBG led a significant buildability review of the approved development application design. PBG retained the approved floor layouts and provided alternative designs to floor levels, flooring systems, wall cladding systems and wall and roof framing systems to produce significant cost savings to the client (20% of construction budget), which enabled the project to proceed.

PBG's design management included engagement, co-ordination and liaison with all consultants to ensure the design was completed on programme. The project delivered 14 duplex houses for student accommodation with five bedrooms each, giving a total of 70 beds. The works included augmentation of existing infrastructure, new build construction, civil works, car parking, pedestrian paths and landscaping in an active student accommodation area of the campus.
