NSW Parliament House - Sydney
Overview
This multi-faceted Construct Only project was carried out in a high-security, occupied building with multiple stakeholders and required flexible and proactive scheduling.
The Scope involved:
The removal of asbestos containing membrane and the installation of a new Wolfin roof membrane system
Design and construction of temporary edge protection to secure the building perimeter installation of new balustrades
Replacement and recommissioning of plant across three rooftop levels.
Replacement of a large glazed atrium, which has involved an exhaustive design and certification process.
The four key principles that were implemented to optimise the program included:
Noisy works planned outside of normal building operations and quieter works during the week to increase onsite productivity
Material handling was planned outside of business hours
All work to balconies were programmed outside of Parliament sitting day blocks
Craneage for bulky items such as the glazing, frames and cooling towers were programmed on weekends to ensure stakeholders were still able to access the building during the week.
To overcome the issues posed by limited space onsite, our In-house Procurement Team mapped low-risk suppliers and pre-ordered materials for storage in our interim storage yard. These items were delivered to site when required to eliminate logistic or supply chain risks that could delay the project and maximise the available space to coordinate multiple trades.
During the works, we had to stop the project for three weeks during the Sydney COVID lock down, however, once back on-site, we amended our resourcing plan to make up for the delays and carried out the works concurrently across multiple levels. We ensured the Works were delivered with minimal delays while minimising movement in the building during business hours.

Kind Words
“Every time a new builder starts at Parliament house the gold star for CCPines Grows and Grows”
“CC Pines commenced on project promptly and efficiently after contract award. The works to adjust existing equipment and installation of new membrane system was planned very well despite numerous challenges. The recent heavy rain in Sydney and additional restrictions on noisy works during Budget Estimates was managed extremely well by Ali and his team.”
“CC Pines understands the challenges in construction and works hard in completing the project to a very high quality standard and with minimal disruptions to Parliaments operations. CC Pines have delivered the project to an extremely high standard, resolved design issues and worked hard to meet Parliaments demanding work environment and restrictions on work activities.
