As a part of the EduWest consortium, Perkins Builders are pleased to provide an update on the WA Schools Public Private Partnership.
Please see the below statement:
EduWest – Badge Perkins Joint Venture
In 2019 the EduWest consortium continues to deliver the WA Schools Public Private Partnership (PPP) project on behalf of the State Government.
Awarded in 2015, this complex project involves the design, construction, maintenance facilities management and private funding of four primary schools and four secondary schools (across 11 separate construction stages) within the Perth metropolitan area.
The EduWest consortium (a joint venture between Badge and Perkins plus Macquarie Capital and other stakeholders) finances the project and carries out a full facilities management service for 31 years until 2047. This is the first contract of this type within the Western Australian education sector.
The Badge Perkins Joint Venture (BPJV) was formed specifically for this project by Badge Constructions Pty Ltd and Perkins Builders Pty Ltd. Staff from the two parent companies work as BPJV employees to provide a united and team-focused approach, and a full suite of bespoke management tools and procedures are used to address the complex requirements of a PPP contract.
In 2016, the first four primary schools were delivered; Alkimos Beach Primary School, Baldivis Gardens Primary School, Woodland Grove Primary School and Carnaby Rise Primary School. In 2017, Aveley Secondary College Stage 1 (located in Ellenbrook) was the first of seven secondary school construction stages to be completed. This was followed in 2018 by Coastal Lakes College Stage 1 located in Lakelands. Currently in 2019 we are delivering the Hammond Park Secondary College Stage 1 concurrently with the Harrisdale Senior High School Stage 2 project for completion in December.
Both the primary and secondary schools were designed over a 14 month period, whilst the primary schools’ construction was fast-tracked in 2016 to occur concurrent with the design. This process involved intensive stakeholder review workshops, focus groups, and design documentation package peer review by the state to comply with the prescriptive design brief.
Further innovation during the design process included the selection of lightweight steel framing instead of blocks to allow the building layout and internal services to be reconfigured easily.
Taking into account environmental outcomes, the eleven school construction stages each have solar panels installed and collectively form the second largest commercial solar array in WA, which also reduces pressure on the state’s utilities.
It’s these outcomes which led to the AIB recognising Rocky Slater (Manager, PPP) and Jason Orso (Project Manager, Perkins) from the BPJV leadership team at its Western Australian chapter awards and national awards in 2018. The pair were presented with the WA Chapter Commercial Construction $100 million plus Category a High Commendation for Commercial Construction over $100m nationally.
Aveley Secondary College Stage 1 was also awarded Best Education Building $50m-$100m at the 2018 MBA WA Excellence in Construction Awards.
On Monday 4th November, construction at our newest project, Cape Care Dunsborough was officially launched with a Turning of the Sod Ceremony. Perkins Builders were joined by representatives from Cape Care, Forrest MP Nola Marino, SWDC CEO Melissa Teede and Jan Button from CWA.
The Cape Care Dunsborough facility will be known as Armstrong Village and includes an 80-bed residential facility for people with high needs, palliative care, 21 independent living units, allied health services, premises for the Dunsborough Country Women’s Association, playground and landscaped gardens.
The ceremony was covered by the Busselton Mail; for more information you can view the article here.
Perkins Builders are delighted to announce, our Project Manager Richard Bell won at the Australian Institute of Building National Awards. Richard was awarded with a National Professional Excellence Winner for Commercial Construction $1m – $25m for his work on the Bannister Downs Dairy Creamery.
These awards celebrate and recognise the professional excellence of individual’s within the building and construction process focusing on how the project was built and to be recognised at a National level is an outstanding achievement.
Congratulations, Richard!
Perkins Builders are proud to announce our success at the Master Builders Western Australia Apprentice Awards, held in Perth on Friday 1st November.
We have always fostered a culture of safety and a thorough commitment to training the next generation of builders; to achieve formal recognition of this is fantastic.
Congratulations to Harley and to all of our staff for their involvement and support of these initiatives.
Yesterday, marked a milestone for the new Western Power Pinjarra Depot with Perkins Builders officially announced as the builder at the Turning of the Sod Ceremony.
Western Power’s CEO, Chairman and representatives were joined at the ceremony by Minister for Energy Bill Johnson, Member for Murray-Wellington Robyn Clarke, members from the Development WA Industrial Lands Authority, Shire of Murray and Perkins Builders.
The new $15m facility will service the Peel region, and is the second facility to be built under Western Power’s depot modernization program.
—————————————————–
Energy Minister Bill Johnston is pleased to announce that construction of a new $15 million Western Power depot, to service the Peel region, has commenced.
The Minister attended a sod turning ceremony at the new depot today, which will consolidate the Mandurah and Waroona Depots and improve service efficiency in the region.
The facility will be built on a three-hectare lot at Pinjarra Industrial Estate, which was purchased through LandCorp’s Industrial Lands Authority for its strategic location fronting Munday Avenue and access to major road networks.
Local South-West construction firm Perkins has been awarded the construction contract.
Perkins recently constructed the Vasse Depot, which was recognised as the best new South-West industrial building in the $10 million to $20 million category by Master Builders Western Australia this year.
The Pinjarra Depot will replicate the successful layout of the Vasse Depot and provide dedicated areas for high voltage testing, fleet maintenance, operational workshops and environmental management areas.
Construction is expected to take 10 months and crews will transfer to the new facility in mid-2020. The amalgamation will not impact staff numbers.
Comments attributed to Energy Minister Bill Johnston:
“Consolidating Waroona and Mandurah into one facility will give Western Power employees greater efficiency to deliver their ongoing work program in the growing Peel region.
“This is a fit-for-purpose facility, built from scratch, using insights from the crews with the sole purpose of continuing the delivery of high-quality services to Western Power customers.
“Emergency response crews in the Peel region answered around 5,000 calls following storms and other unplanned events last financial year.
“This new facility will allow crews to continue that response in all weather and be able to load and prepare equipment in protected areas before heading to the field.”
Comments attributed to Lands Minister Ben Wyatt:
“The Pinjarra Industrial Estate provides the perfect launching point for Western Power crews who need to mobilise quickly for emergencies and also deliver network upgrades and carry out maintenance.
“The estate sits at a mid-point between Perth and Bunbury and also allows rapid access into the growing Peel Region.
“The relocation of Western Power services to the Pinjarra Industrial Estate is just another example of the efficiencies of the newly formed Industrial Lands Authority, an election commitment of the McGowan Government.”
