The construction of the warehouse NW1 at Sydney Markets comprised a total floor area of 5,194m2 plus a 600m2 mezzanine level for Harris Farm.
The type of construction incorporated load bearing tilt-up panels, a structural steel roof frame and included an office fitout to the Mezzanine level.
Internal office fitout caters for over 70 employees and uses high efficiency lighting, as does the warehouse.
“That concept of ‘cooperative contracting’ came up in the 60’s. I don’t know if I was the first one to think about it but as far as I was concerned it was something new. I can still remember when I proposed the idea to my ‘would be’ lawyer and accountant who were experienced in the building industry, that this is the way I was going to operate, I saw them sort of look at each other as if to say ‘where’s this guy coming from’, but it worked.
I am convinced, that what we envisaged 50 years ago is still being followed very diligently by the people managing the company today.
I think the things I am most proud of were the two major buildings that we built in North Sydney, which were Northside Gardens and Northpoint, the general attitude of the people and the reputation the company has achieved over the years. I thinks its reputation today, is probably even a lot better than in the days when I retired.
The way we obtained work was by negotiation only. If the clients were not happy with final outcome, the company would have ceased to exist and so we actually went from strength to strength because we were doing the right thing and the clients were happy.”
