McKenzie Aged Care - Capella Bay
Project Overview
Total Construction was engaged by McKenzie Aged Care to deliver their new four-storey 134 bed high-care facility. Designed by Fender Kasalidis Architects and Winward Engineers, the development provides high quality aged care accommodation.
The Lower Ground Floor incorporates services including laundry, catering, amenities and storage. The Ground Floor combines a reception area, administration offices, resident’s rooms and communal areas. Level 1 comprises resident’s rooms, pharmacy, administration and extra services. Level 2 caters for further staff amenities, training rooms and offices. The floors are serviced by three separate lifts.
Total worked closely with McKenzie Aged Care and the Design Consultancy team to ensure the highest quality outcome for the most economical cost was documented.
Overcoming Challenges
The in-ground/civil works started in the wet season and there was a local stormwater easement running through the middle of the site. Due to access restraints, the building was commenced in stages.
