The Watches of Switzerland shop in Collin Street, Melbourne, has undergone a remarkable renovation, blending modern sophistication with heritage charm. A lift, 2 storey stair and frames for wall have been newly added.
The lift runs from the ground floor to the second. Initially, the lift columns were designed for 10.8m. Since, this is an indoor construction, we raised query about maneuvering the 10.8m columns inside & rotate them to their positions. Redesign happened & the columns were split to 4.5m max.
The key responsibilities in this project are:
- Coordination with the lift drawings
- Marking and requesting essential site measurements through detailed sketches
- The lift columns are bolted to the soffit of the roof slab. It s the responsibility of the modeller to alter the builder & ensure that there are no existing concrete beams at the vicinity of the lift columns.
- Proposing structural member & their connections at areas that were missed out in the structural drawings.
