Hall & Wilcox, a leading Australian law firm serving corporate, public sector and private clients both locally and internationally, recently completed a comprehensive office fit-out across four levels of the prestigious Queen & Collins building in Melbourne's CBD. The project included the construction of intertenancy connecting stairs, creating a cohesive workplace that spans multiple floors.
Situated in a precinct rich with local culture and embodying a vibrant working neighbourhood, the new Hall & Wilcox office has been designed and delivered to the highest sustainability and wellness standards, targeting a 6 Star Green rating and WELL Platinum certification.
The office refurbishment reflects Hall & Wilcox's commitment to creating an exceptional workplace environment that prioritises both environmental performance and occupant wellbeing. The 6 Star Green rating demonstrates outstanding environmental design and operational efficiency, while the WELL Platinum standard – the highest level of WELL certification – recognises the project's comprehensive approach to supporting the health, comfort and productivity of its occupants.
The intertenancy connecting stairs enhance connectivity and collaboration across the firm's four-level footprint, fostering interaction and movement throughout the workplace.
Charter Keck Cramer provided comprehensive Quantity Surveying services throughout the project, including:
Pre-construction Services: Development of pre-tender estimates and assistance with the Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) process to support procurement and project planning
Construction Services: Assessment of progress claims and variations to ensure robust cost control and financial oversight throughout delivery
Asset Register Preparation: Prepared register of fit-out assets for tax depreciation purposes
The project was successfully completed in December 2024, enabling Hall & Wilcox to take possession of the space over the Christmas break and facilitate a seamless transition for staff returning in early 2025.
