The big bash starts officially this weekend and ANZ Stadium is getting ready in spades for their first game next week.

The Kings School is currently undertaking the early stages of a $20M project to implement a new Science Centre. The centre boasts 18 new student laboratories; a dedicated tertiary research centre designed to PC2 standards and LED lighting. The building’s energy usage is controlled and monitored via a KNX-based management system.
BSE are involved in the mechanical, electrical lifts and sustainability services which incorporate automated window systems with sophisticated controls to ensure air conditioning system usage is minimised.
A key feature in the project is the nominated “learning points” throughout the building, which illustrate to the students how the building services work and what they look like.

Walton Constructions requested the services of BSE to provide information suitable for the contractors to price the Russian Relief Association’s Retirement Aged Care Facility (RACF) to ensure that they were getting adequate value for money. On a very arduous program BSE meet the milestones and quality required. We appreciate the financial benchmarks in a very tight project that is difficult such as this 40 -50 Bed RACF and 6 Ilu’s connecting to and extending from an existing development.

BSE have just completed assisting Australand in DA submission for stage 2 (78 apartments) of the Clemton Park Development. This not only included all building services within the building, it required some thinking and input to the developments master plan for the completed stages and the future stages (in excess of 900 apartments and 10,000m2 retail). BSE look forward to being involved in the very early stages of any development, and including our expertise at the concept phase.
