Innovation: The project required the successful integration of a semi-permanent aluminium superstructure with a traditionally constructed internal fit-out, presenting several interface and sequencing challenges not typically encountered on conventional building projects. Working collaboratively with the manufacturer, structural specialists and the client's nominated design team, BPM developed bespoke construction details and practical on-site design solutions that improved buildability, reduced installation risk and ensured the project remained compliant with the design intent whilst maintaining programme certainty.
