[200William-EC] WILLIAM ST FACADE

Thu Mar 21 17:13:12 EST 2013

Good Afternoon All,

You may remember back in 2006 when the Dowling Street tiled facade was
de bonding and tile pieces dropping on the street. The Dowling st facade
was repaired and claimed under the Home Owners Warranty.  At the time
the William Street facade was also showing signs of hollowness though
still fit for purpose. Our attempt to also claim the William St facade
was rejected the facade falls under the BMC which is not covered under
the HOW.  

Today during my inspection I discovered a approximately 15% of the tiles
extremely hollow and debonded from the surface. These can possibly fall.

In order to remove the tiles there are two options:

1.       Set up a full scaffold with hording (Council requirements)
which will cost approx 15-25k. If this method is to be carried out then:

(a)     all the tiles should be removed as it would be a short time
before the others will debond. Approx 15-25k 

(b)   once all the tiles are removed then the wall will need to be
resurfaced with either cement then painted or acrylic render which comes
in range of colours. Approx $30k 

2.       Remove only the affected tiles during the early hours of the
morning by ladder access. Possible risk caught by a ranger. And facade
will look unsightly until such time the facade is repaired.

Please note that this needs to be addressed asap.

	Hi All,  

	For discussion at Meeting, please find below indicative costs to
upgrade finishes at Lifts and at Level E+G foyers. 

	Costs are fully inclusive of all material supply, design fees,
etc.

	I believe we should be able to tap the 'Sinking Fund' for the
costs. The existing style is very dated.

	UPGRADE LEVEL E:

	*Paint to purple Mosaic columns outside = $400

	*Paint ceiling throughout Foyer = $1,150

	*Demolish & remove purple fabric = $150

	*Place arced framing, instead of existing angles at above wall =
$1,250

	*Place full height tiles to above at removed fabric
(28m2*$80/m2) = $2,240

	*Supply above high quality tiles (28m2*$80/m2) = $2,240

	TOTAL LEVEL E UPGRADE = $7,430+GST = $8,173

	UPGRADE LEVEL G:

	*Demolish and remove existing floor finishes = $1,900

	*Install new floor finishes (25m2*$80/m2) = $2,000

	*Supply above high quality finishes (25m2*$80/m2) = $2,000

	*Remove colonial skirtings & Architraves, and square-set wall
finishes = $800

	*Repaint all of Foyer = $1,800

	TOTAL LEVEL E UPGRADE = $8,500+GST = $9,350

	*OPTION to frame Western foyer wall, add arced frame to corner,
and tile extent of wall = $4,510 Inc Tile supply & GST.

	*OPTION to tile wall opposite to lift walls = $4,400

	UPGRADE ELEVATORS:

	*Remove 2 downlights and plug holes = $200*2 = $400

	*Rub back clear finish to timber panels = $950*2 = $1,900

	*Apply new stain to timber panels = $850*2 = $1,700

	TOTAL ELEVATORS UPGRADE = $4,000+GST = $4,450

	*Total for all 3 areas = $21,973

	*Total including Options for Level G tiled walls = $30,883

	These are pricing for my company to undertake the works. 

	I believe that these are competitive costs, and that we will get
alot of 'bang for our buck' - as we can get high quality finishes
without the need to engage an architect or designer.

	re quality of work, below is a link to a recently completed
project of mine.
