Stylish polished concrete finish
Minter Ellison Lawyers
The Bold Decision
When it comes to legal prowess, Minter Ellison Lawyers is renowned for its superior services and elite level of experience. Recently relocated from Phillip Street to Governor Macquarie Tower in Sydney, the company, after securing a 12 year lease at the establishment, made the bold decision to refurbish its office space.
In line with its first class reputation, Minter Ellison Lawyers insisted on aligning the project with high-end builders and contractors to redefine sophistication on seven levels of the building.
Bring on the team
The project was instigated in November and completed in May, utilising the prominent skills and building nous of Buildcorp, and exclusive wall and flooring specialist, Honestone, and a number of other highly reputable contractors.
After a concise, compound and intense project analysis by all parties, the final result is a stunning overhaul of the space, with flexible, task-based work settings, supported by state-of-the art technology and timeless, natural and warm materials.
Honestone’s Role
Revamping the flooring was in the primary hands of Honestone’s team, with director Rick Hendriks at the helm.
Mr Hendriks said the floors were covered in up to 30mm of levelling compound and carpet adhesive, and for his team it was ‘the very worst scenario’.
However, for Honestone, it was a challenge the team was able to overcome with intuitive insight and concise planning, all of which was conquered in a restricted timeframe.
Challenge after challenge
Mr Hendriks said there were several unique challenges in the setting.
“Honestone had to fill existing core holes and extensively patch throughout to prepare for grinding, polishing and sealing,” he said.
“In the first days onsite we had to establish a sample for approval. This set the benchmark for the expected finish throughout the project.”
“Each level produced 6-10 tonnes of dust. This was captured by our industrial dust extractors into dust bags and sent down the lift into bins and disposed of offsite.”
“The end result was extremely impressive and I am overtly pleased with what my team has achieved.”
Feedback from other contractors
Daniel Mills, project manager from Buildcorp Interiors said, “Honestone has done a great job, met their committed dates and worked in well with our site requirements. We’re pleased with how the floor polishing has progressed, particularly as this was an item of uncertainty for them at the commencement of the project.”
Buildcorp Interiors project director Mathew Patoulios said, “from the very moment they hit site, their momentum was absolutely extraordinary. The team work between contractors was the best I have seen.”
