SACRED HEART MISSION – ST KILDA
About Project
Sacred Heart Mission’s new aged care development is the first piece in transforming the way the Mission delivers accommodation and services to people experiencing homelessness. The project merges two existing aged care buildings under one roof, increasing the number of beds to 93.
Aged care services offered by Sacred Heart Mission differ from other main services as they support people from a younger age and 95 percent have a history of homelessness, significant disadvantage, and complex needs.
The scope of works for this highly complex project encompasses new build and refurbishment works over two stages, with the first being the construction of a new four-story (plus basement) building at 101 Grey Street St Kilda, and the second including refurbishment of existing facilities and consolidation works to merge both buildings.
The only available access for concrete pumping for the project was on the clearway on Grey Street in St Kilda. This meant that concrete pours could on being set up at 9am and must be finished by 3pm. We were able to work withing these restrictions working in cooperation with our client.
During the past 4 years Shane Connaughton has completed numerous packages for us. In the early days Shane undertook minor packages but Shane and his team’s capacity, and professionalism have significantly increased to the extent that they have completed some of our biggest concrete packages.
Shane has a very experienced and helpful crew with excellent on and off-site supervision. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
