About the winning project
This new residential home in Werribee included a big underground basement for the single level brick veneer home. The frame sits 7m high, made up of 3.4m trusses and 3.6m wall frames. The concrete slab (400 cubic metres) included 240 bored piers 3m deep into the ground. A safety consultant helped set up the systems and policies. Key points included barriers and signage while the basement and footings were constructed, erection of the roof trusses with a 16 tonne crane, ample scaffold as fall protection, closing up truss spacings and roof battens spacings due to being so high off the ground, changing the perimeter walls to 140 mm wide to be easier to walk on, and reducing the size of the prefab walls to avoid injury when installing.
