Project Overview
THE CHALLENGE /
The new BlueCross Ivanhoe is a five-star aged care facility, with architectural attention to detail evident throughout the building.
THE CORTEK FRAMING STEEL SOLUTION /
Circular bulkhead features were designed to line the main dining, function, social and entrance spaces. Working in partnership with the plastering contractor, Cortek developed a customised solution for faster and easier on site construction.
Bulkhead frames were shop detailed in house, fabricated using lightweight steel and then delivered in manageable sizes for easy handling once on site. The pre-fabricated frames were designed to be either direct fixed to the ceiling or hung by droppers, depending on the architectural requirements.
Framing sections were assembled and tested for quality assurance for streamlined installation once frames arrived on site.
By using a pre-fabricated alternative, the contractor saved significant labour, time and associated on site construction costs.
