Vaughan has cemented national warehouse and fulfilment business, McPhee Distribution Services, as a repeat customer with the successful delivery of industrial facilities in Berrinba, Queensland, and most recently, in Truganina, Victoria (pictured).
The first project for our new Queensland office – Stage 1 of the Berrinba project – saw the construction of a 12,000m² warehouse, offices totalling nearly 700m², hardstand of 6,000m² and a 2,200m² carpark.
The facility is being developed by McPhee on behalf of tenant Rinnai. Rinnai will occupy around 60% of the space with the balance occupied by McPhee.
Vaughan Director, Mark Byrne, said Vaughan’s project management team had been able to deliver the new facility “within a sharp timeframe” despite six weeks of ongoing rains through February and March.
The new Berrinba facility represents Stage 1 of a planned circa $60 million, three stage, McPhee development which will include another two 15,000m² warehouse buildings on two adjoining sites
next door.
Vaughan has also been selected to deliver Stage 3 of McPhee’s Berrinba project which will see the delivery of a 13,500m² industrial facility.
At Truganina, Vaughan completed 30,700m² of built area that includes three office spaces totalling 600m², 12,600m² of heavy duty concrete pavement, 27 roller doors, ten loading docks, a 3,500m² bitumen carpark and a 34 metre-wide super canopy.
During the construction period Victoria was in lockdown due to the global pandemic, which presented significant challenges. A reduced workforce, extensive PPE, social distancing and adhering to Vaughan’s strict COVID-safe plan saw the team operating in a new way.
However, excellent teamwork and site management saw a tight program achieved allowing the customer to gain early access so that its Melbourne-based operations were not disrupted.
“We are delighted to be partnering with McPhee on these developments. At ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, the ethos is ‘Building Customers for Life’ and the partnership forged with McPhee exemplifies this,” stated Mr Byrne.
