MAB is a Melbourne based developer targeting a range of projects from grass roots communities to skyline changing developments while establishing a legacy of originality, quality and excellence. Their Melbourne office has continued to grow, driving the need for refurbishment and expansion of their space.
Partnering with MAB Corporation, BSE has developed a services strategy to allow the St Kilda Road team to continue using the space while staged construction works are undertaken, to minimise disruption and ensure the capacity of MAB. An initial investigation was completed before design commenced to allow BSE’s design and engineering team to adequately understand the existing services approach. Our engineering solution for mechanical, electrical (power, data, comms), security and hydraulic services are an integration of new and existing tenancy, by adding in an AV brief to BSE’s scope MAB is provided with a consistent and buildable solution. The important requirement of maintaining operability of the space for MAB’s team was achieved through creation of temporary work zones, maintaining network connectivity and operational service systems such as power, fire protection and HVAC.
Stage one of the refurbishment, which prioritised reception, staff breakout, board and meeting rooms has been completed, with stage two (executive offices and workstations and utility spaces) and stage three (breakout workspaces, utility spaces and workstations) to be completed per schedule, providing 1,870m2.
