Project Description
Stockland
Location: 78 WATERLOO RD, MACQUARIE PARK
The site address: Sydney, NSW, Australia
Construction value: Approx. $45.0 million
Construction Company: Lipman Properties Pty Ltd
The site is bound by the following:
North: Waterloo Rd
East: Office Building
South: Christian School Australia
West: Byfield Street
78 Waterloo Road is an innovatively designed building featuring a central atrium
servicing two efficient floor plates. The project consisted of the construction of a two
level basement, podium level (ground) and two seven storey commercial office
towers with a common lift lobby and atrium. The 5-Star Green Star v.2 rated property
has dual frontage access to Waterloo Road and Byfield Street, and is diagonally
opposite the Macquarie University and Macquarie Park railway station.

CONSTRUCTION HOURS & CONTACT:
The intended hours of work for construction are;
Monday to Friday 7.00am to 3.00pm
Saturdays and Sundays and public holidays – No work
*These hours are in-line with the NSW EPA. Environment Noise Control Manual the
hours as specified by DIPNR in the DA Conditions.

Scope
Includes (within scope)
Design of an ecologically friendly facility
o Measures will be taken during the design phase to meet and exceed 5
Star levels on the Green Star Rating System as well as the 5 Star
NABERS Energy Rating (Green Building Council of Australia 2003).
o Drafted designs will aim to provide workspaces the highest possible
level of human comfort.
o During construction, processes to minimise waste materials by use of
environmentally friendly construction process will be employed.
o Submission of designs to appropriate authorities such as Ryde Council
and Macquarie Park Management.
On-Site work
o Site identification including site surveying, marking and reporting
o Site establishment- including fencing, silt control measure, signage.
o Supplying of temporary amenities such as portable toilets and water
access
o Locating of site offices and materials storage areas
o Following a successfully submitted and approved design, construction
on the building is to begin as soon as able. This will be to ensure that
the project follows the schedule of activities set out prior to
construction.
o Pre- construction Stage including excavation, setting up of machinery
such as cranes, installation of drainage controls for lower levels,
placement of pre-concrete materials such as reinforcing, footings and
piers
o First stage of construction- underground car park
o Second stage of construction- Podium level
o Third Stage of construction- levels 1-7
o Fourth Stage of Construction- Fitouts, basic furnishings, plumbing,
electrical

o Stage of Construction- Final finishes, complete product, including
curtain walls, plasterboards, landscaping
o On-site clean up- removal of waste materials, cleaning of facilities,
cleaning of surrounding grounds and building internals.
 Safety Management- Implementation of safety procedures for workers and
pedestrians
o Erection of safety fences surrounding the construction site to prevent
unauthorised entry and reduce noise levels
o Placement of pedestrian access so that pedestrians can safely move
past the construction site with a reduced chance of harm befalling
them.
o Implementation of traffic controls at the appropriate stages, allowing
the safe passing of vehicles due to medium traffic road. Including
signage and traffic control officers when required.
o Set up of height safety scaffolding
Project Completion Criteria
At all stages during the construction process, Australian Standards must be followed.
Processes will also conform to local council building codes. Each section of
construction must be inspected by the appropriate authorities for approval before
proceeding to the following stage. Upon completion, a final inspection will be held to
ensure construction abides by all appropriate Australian Standards and is compliant
to local council codes.
Project Assumptions
The following assumptions were taken pre construction for the project located at 78
Waterloo Road, Macquarie Park:
 The project would commence Tuesday 21st May 2013
 The project will be funded by a lump sum payment to Lipman Constructions
 The project will be successfully completed
 Funding provided will be adequate, with no requirement for additional funding
 Materials provided will meet the require materials for each stage of
construction, until completion of the project

 The company, Lipman Constructions, will complete the project to an
acceptable standard
 When required, all resources will be available
 Any issues raised will be attended to immediately and resolved as quickly as
possible
 All objectives stated in the scope should be met.
Should any of the assumptions above be proven false, the schedule to complete the
project would be affected, resulting in a loss of time, money, human and material
resources, which could also result in a failure to complete the project? As such,
utmost effort will be put forth in order to ensure that the project runs smoothly and
follows schedule. To do this, enactment of various management plans will be
followed.
