Projects

FMX were engaged by GPT to manage the Principal Contractor through their Defects Liability Period under the contract. This project leveraged our construction experience to identify, document and initiate works for building defects. Our team managed all rectification works and inspections during DLP.

The project required FMX to cross check all design drawings on the scope to the physical build to identify variances. Our team also implemented a warranties schedule and associated critical dates program to ensure there was a process to flag future expiration of warranties.

Our team was engaged to advise on all operational aspects from early design to practical completion, integrated fit out, and through the defects liability period. To date, FMX Group has recommended multiple changes to the developer and dedicated engineers on the project to enhance building functionality and day-to-day operations once complete.

From the 30% design stage, FMX Group recommended and implemented numerous key changes to improve many aspects of the finished development. These included: improving lift locations, end of trip location, size of the security and cleaning rooms, loading dock management plans and space review, implementing a mid- level plant room, increasing the number of chillers, allowing for increased condenser capacity and much more.

FMX were engaged to create, draft and implement an indicative OPEX budget in order to provide a rate guide to incoming tenants upon completion. This involved working with multiple contractors obtaining quotes for every line item of Repairs and Maintenance plus, other operation and management costs associated with managing the building. Our team provided the client with a comprehensive breakdown of costs and allocated sums to initiate a rate per sqm for outgoings charges to tenants.

FMX further undertook a detailed review of Way Finding signage throughout the whole building and recommended changes
and enhancements to signage plans. This was successfully implemented throughout the building which indicates essential services and provides appropriate directions and emergency points for both occupants and contractors.

Our team was engaged to create a comprehensive fit-out guide for incoming tenants. This was required to provide guidelines to incoming anchor tenant in Quay Quarter Tower. FMX worked with the development and Operations team to draft the fit-out guide and standard guidelines.

In addition, FMX reviewed all design drawings for the full precinct to adequately draft site-specific scoping reports for soft services. This project involved working with third party consultants and contractors to establish the requirements for day-to-day operations. FMX then drafted detailed scopes in advance of tender release for each the services.

FMX were further engaged upon Practical Completion of Quay Quarter Precinct to set up on site operations and initiate processes for incoming contractors. Our team leveraged their previous experience managing operations of Premium assets to establish a framework of protocols to assist with seamless flow of movement within all workplace and common areas.

(BMS Upgrade, Additional Cooling Tower, Fire Indication Panel Upgrade, EWIS & associated field devices upgrades, LED Lighting Upgrade, CCTV Upgrade)

The majority of the equipment was in disrepair and/or at end-of- lifecycle and required replacement. We coordinated all works to each requirement over a detailed program and in various stages to minimise impact on building occupants. The series of works ensured the building was future proofed to provide for greater panel capacity and indicator loops for incoming tenant benefits.

We ensured that the complexities of EWIS end-of-lifecycle replacement would coincide with the fire indication panel upgrades. We advised on non-compliant fire dampers and managed the need for repair schedules to be put in place, compliance certificates to be applied for, and fire engineering sign-off to be undertaken.

By applying new sustainability upgrades, this resulted in decreased energy usage and increased capacity of equipment for tenant use. We delivered the scope of work with consideration for code and compliance and for new and existing tenants.

AMP engaged FMX to upgrade a series of mixed machinal services within this building. The replacement works were undertaken to enable the client benefit from increased energy savings.

FMX recommended a series of sustainability initiatives that would drive energy efficiency and have a significant impact on the current NABERS rating. As a result, FMX delivered on managing works for various upgrades to air handling units, exhaust fans, motor replacement and stair pressurisation.

Our team ensured the works were undertaken with minimal impact to building occupants on a day-to-day level. FMX had the ability to draw from facilities management experience to understand the risks associated with potential failure of equipment.

FMX ensured this equipment was commissioned appropriately to ensure BMS integration was achieved. As a result, the works enabled the building achieve energy savings overall.
