Contract Description

Base have been working with the landowner and the building developer for over 4 years in transforming the steep undulating site into a terraced 17 lot subdivision above Battery Hill, Frankton Road.  Suitable for high quality apartment construction.  

The site itself and its geology made it challenging for earthworks and the protection for those below.

Much of the subdivision development & infrastructure construction was concurrent with apartments being built which created access and safety challenges with many trades & subcontractors also working within the site.
