How it was built
What the brief asked for, what the building demanded, and what was handed over.
The brief
A 220 m² three-bedroom apartment in Building 19 at City Walk, designed and fitted out end to end.
The constraint
Ten weeks is fast for 220 m², and it is the building that makes it possible or not: lift bookings, permitted hours, and a waste route that does not cross the residents' lobby.
Wet areas were sequenced first, so the slowest chain — waterproofing, screed, stone — was never the one holding up handover.
The result
Handed over in January 2025. Photography is being collected.
What the work included
An apartment fit-out is a neighbours problem before it is a construction problem. Waste leaves through a booked route, noisy trades live inside the hours the association allows, and the programme is written around both.
Full replacement where the building allows it: pipework, wiring, HVAC, so the finishes sit on something new.
Waterproofing turned up correctly at every penetration, falls that run to the drain, substrates that carry the slab weight.
Selection at the slab, dry-lay before fixing, book-matching where it shows.
Wardrobes, kitchens, dressing rooms and panelling made to the room rather than to a catalogue.
Plaster, paint, flooring and a lighting scheme designed before the ceiling closes.
Building management, community NOCs, service-lift bookings and permitted working hours.
