Sarah has successfully completed a series of refurbishment, fit-out and extension projects for the University, across its fully occupied Adelaide campus, the city and the parklands.

The Sarah Team are following a collaborative approach working with the consultants and the University project teams to ensure each project is a success. Open and honest communication and a problem solving philosophy have helped to resolve any challenges early throughout the design and construction phases of the projects.

Safety is high on the agenda for Sarah and the team continues to work closely with the University Safety and Building Management teams, to develop detailed plans based on the institution’s stringent safety requirements. This approach has ensured the safety of not only the students and staff, but also the sub-contractors and the general public.

The new $27M Design and Construct project will provide a home away from home for regional and remote South Australians travelling to Adelaide for treatment with several rooms accommodating individuals and/or families with disabilities, along with creating the new home for research, prevention and support programs.

The project is set to be completed in the second quarter of 2022.

A number of Environmentally Sustainable Design initiatives have been incorporated into the design and construction methodology, such as the complete reuse of façade screening removed from the existing western elevation and effective usage of natural lighting and ventilation.

Residents in each of the 12 bed houses will have access to integrated services to support them living in their own homes while additional on-site services include a café, hairdresser and resident gym.

The 8500m2 facility caters for up to 96 people who are awaiting care, need respite, require palliative and transitional care, as well as ongoing residential care home.

The purpose-built small scale living development has been reviewed by internationally regarded health design specialists, Health Projects International (HPI) to pioneer COVID-safe infection control measures.

The project is expected to be completed in late 2022.

Some of the ALDI projects, include:

• ALDI Nuriootpa – With a Christmas deadline project delivery was accelerated allowing ALDI to open for trade over the Christmas period.  Sarah’s ability to integrate fit out with base build allowed for a quick build and successful project outcome for the client.
• ALDI Modbury – this project needed to be of the highest quality, but in a very short time frame. Sarah also needed to manage and monitor ALDI’s nominated trade subcontractors, to ensure they could meet the strict programme requirements.
• ALDI Parafield Gardens – one of the first ALDI supermarkets to be built in SA and included the new 2000m² building, storm water drainage and car park.
• ALDI Hallett Cove – a complicated project that required Sarah to re-route deliveries for other tenants / shop keepers, due to the redesign of the existing car park.
• ALDI Blackwood – The design of this project incorporated a post tensioned suspended slab for undercover car parking, precast concrete, structural steel and a lift. To accommodate the restricted site area of the project, the ALDI Blackwood project team were able to sequence construction works in multiple stages.

Sarah continues to work with Woolworths on a number of projects, including being involved with design, cost management and programming. Woolworths require a high level of communication from Sarah on these projects, to ensure minimal disruptions to everyday trade within the supermarkets.

Significant projects include the 6450m² Woolworths Shopping Centre at “Playford Alive” ($16 million), Aberfoyle Park ($4.4 million),  Waikerie Tenancy ($3 million) and Golden Grove ($2.9 million).  Sarah delivered all of them on time. In fact, the Golden Grove project was completed in just 11 weeks and the Playford project was delivered well ahead of schedule, despite losing 18 days due to inclement weather.

Like other supermarkets and retails stores, Woolworths has strict conditions about keeping its stores fully operational, even when significant refurbishments are taking place. That’s why Woolworths came to Sarah in the first place: because of our flexible, customer-focused approach and significant amount of experience delivering on these type of jobs.

As a result of this strong working relationship, Coles has awarded Sarah multiple extension, refurbishment and fit-out programmes throughout South Australia, the Northern Territory and Tasmania. Sarah has delivered these projects successfully, every time.
