Csaba Kaposi’s role as Project and Construction Manager required him to lead a team to fully refurbish this iconic Sydney City building, whilst maintaining as high a level of ongoing occupation as possible throughout the duration of a complex project.

This project encountered many challenges that the team was required to overcome in order to achieve the project requirements successfully. Some of these challenges included:

• The removal of significant amounts of asbestos throughout 26 levels of the building while all adjacent levels remained occupied
• Full Lobby Upgrade
• Typical level refurbishment
• Complete Services upgrade and introduction of BMCS
• Completion of stages for major tenancies within very tight timeframes
• A highly sensitive industrial environment
• The liquidation of 2 major stone contractors at critical times in the project
• Overseas stone procurement challenges
• Project funding challenges
• Heritage considerations
• Maintaining high levels of tenancy through strong tenant interface skills
