Client: IP Australia
Scope: Large‑scale commercial refurbishment across a multi‑floor government building, including complete bathroom upgrades and new childcare facility construction.
Project Overview
Contemporary Plumbing planned a comprehensive plumbing refurbishment for IP Australia, spanning 15 floors of the organisation’s Canberra headquarters. The project formed part of a major building upgrade program aimed at modernising amenities, improving building performance, and supporting new workplace facilities. In addition to the bathroom refurbishments, the scope included plumbing works for the construction of a new on‑site childcare centre, designed to meet stringent safety and compliance requirements.
The full workload included:
- Full strip‑out and replacement of plumbing systems across all bathrooms on 15 floors.
- Installation of new sanitary fixtures, drainage systems, and water supply infrastructure.
- Upgrades to base building services, ensuring improved reliability, efficiency, and compliance with current standards.
- Delivery of complete plumbing services for the new childcare centre, including amenities, kitchen facilities, and specialised safety‑compliant systems.
- Coordination with builders, engineers, and government stakeholders to maintain continuity of operations throughout the refurbishment.
Final Outcome
The project was delivered to a high standard, providing IP Australia with modern, efficient, and fully compliant bathroom facilities across all floors. Managing works across 15 occupied floors required staged delivery and careful planning to minimise disruption to staff and building operations.
The newly constructed childcare centre was completed with robust, safe, and reliable plumbing systems that support daily operations and meet all regulatory requirements. The successful delivery of this large‑scale refurbishment demonstrates Contemporary Plumbing’s capability in managing complex, multi‑floor commercial projects within live government environments.
