Crows Nest is a mixed area of offices, shops and apartments on the Lower North Shore, so the work here is as often commercial as it is residential. Foreshore Works covers building repairs, property maintenance and fit outs for both, run by Tim, a trade qualified joiner.
Recent work
We built a half height plasterboard wall with glass to the ceiling, in an aluminium frame, for an office in Crows Nest, to create a more sound friendly environment for a high output management office.
The glass came from Sydney Glass and the plasterboard from CSR. The wall was packed with insulation, and loose fill fibres lower sound transfer. Works ran over 1.5 weeks and were done at night, so the office could carry on with its daily requirements without interruption.
Local context
A lot of the work in Crows Nest happens in offices and commercial spaces that can't stop trading while it's done. That shapes how we plan the job as much as what we build.
In a working office, noise and disruption cost the client money. On a recent Crows Nest office job we completed the works over 1.5 weeks at night, so the staff had nothing to work around in the daytime.
Open plan offices carry sound, and a high output management team needs a quieter space to work in. We built a half height plasterboard wall with glass to the ceiling, in an aluminium frame, to create a more sound friendly environment. The wall was packed with insulation, and the loose fill fibres lower sound transfer.
Good commercial work in Crows Nest comes down to planning around the people who use the space. Getting the sequence and the hours right matters as much as the build itself.
