The 9-storey HQ apartment complex faced significant issues due to poor-quality materials (magnesium oxychloride boards) and substandard workmanship (insufficient concrete vibration between boards), leading to weatherproofing defects. 

Our team was involved in all aspects of the project, from collaborating with the consultants during the design phase to overseeing construction and commissioning, ensuring the final outcome met the client’s expectations. A unique challenge was the project’s timing—the project began in February 2020, coinciding with the COVID-19 outbreak, which required adapting methodologies to minimise disturbances such as noise and dust while tenants were confined to their homes.
