FDC Construction & Fitout

The FDC PhD scholarship at the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre aims to open doors for a student who, as a result of social or financial disadvantage, would otherwise not have the opportunity to showcase their brilliance. For three years now, scholarship recipient Reeja Nasir has worked tirelessly on her PhD, which delves into childhood obesity and cardiometabolic health, two pressing concerns that hold the wellbeing of future generations in the balance. "Even more empowering than having the opportunity to complete my PhD, is having the encouragement of education generally. Because of this opportunity, I will become a doctor, and that will change my life." Link in bio to read more. #fdc #fdcgroup #madepersonal #madebyfdc

757 Ann Street's Lobby required a refresh to provide collaborative space for their tenants to enjoy and to compliment the aesthetics of the building's popular rooftop bar, Maya Mexican. The lobby refurbishment features several beautiful finishes to compliment the building's market position. Custom Sculptform timber look aluminium battens, stone accents, 161sqm of terrazzo filing, and new free standing building directory are among the design highlights. Under time pressures that restricted early morning shift to three hours and only two nights per week for night shifts, FDC needed ways to compress the installation time while complying with the stringent fire ratings. An innovative shaftwall system and all terrain scissor lift were among the solutions allowing for an on-time delivery.

As part of NAIDOC Week celebrations, FDC attended the inaugural KARI Corporate Games on Bidjigal and Gadigal Country in Little Bay, Sydney. Led by the KARI Foundation, the aim of the day was to provide hands-on cultural experiences that are both educational and empowering. Through various activation across art, cooking with traditional ingredients, cultural trivia and traditional Indigenous games, our team came away with a bronze medal and were able to immerse in the diversity and vitality of First Nations culture and Keep the Fire Burning. Thank you to the KARI Foundation for this valuable and innovative opportunity. #NAIDOC2024 #NAIDOCWeek #BlakLoudProud #fdc #fdcgroup #madepersonal

We've reached new heights at Charter Hall's Ascent on Bourke Development. Last week, our project team along with our client, Charter Hall, celebrated and honoured the timeless tradition of topping out, marking the completion of the building's structural framework. Since taking possession in April 2023, the collective team has accomplished an incredible feat in such an important and impressive build. Over the last 14 months, the construction has included: - 223 concrete piles with an average depth of 30 metres (some being as close as 2m from the Sydney Trains Tunnel). - 4500 tonne of structural steel including 11,000 individual members with 140,000 nuts and bolts. - 460 precast panels, some as heavy as 18 tonne. - Poured 10,000m3 of concrete across 34,000sqm. This was done over 50 major concrete pours back-to-back over a 12-week period. This milestone wouldn't be possible without the dedication of our client Charter Hall, delivery partners in Project Strategy, Costin Roe and Nettletontribe who's collaboration and vision has shaped this development as well as all the subcontactors who provide expertise and insightful knowledge throughout this build. We look forward to the continuation of building Sydney's first inner city, large scale, multi-storey warehouse facility for Charter Hall and their anchor tenants, Schindler Group and Coles Group.

As we recognise NAIDOC Week and this year's theme 'Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud', we honour the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture. The fire symbolises the deep connection to Country, the bonds within communities, and the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our unwavering commitment to our Reconciliation Action Plan has led us to a higher engagement of Cultural Awareness Training and Indigenous registered business than ever before. But we're not done. We will continue to 'Keep the Fire Burning!' for First Nations people and culture. #NAIDOC2024 #NAIDOCWeek #BlakLoudProud #fdc #fdcgroup #madepersonal

We are proud to add another remarkable project to FDC SA's portfolio at One Festival Tower: the Mott MacDonald office fitout. This project encompasses the entire 1,900sqm floor plate of Level 17, creating a modern and functional workspace that promotes collaboration and flexibility, complemented by sweeping 360-degree views of Adelaide. The office entrance and front of house areas required a high level of coordination and attention to detail; the feature metalwork screen is a standout element along with the custom feature ceilings and lighting. The fitout comprises of open working areas, meeting rooms, boardrooms, breakout areas, a kitchen, secure working rooms, and dedicated parents and wellness rooms. Employees will have access to the latest innovative IT and AV integration, enhancing productivity and efficiency, whilst the design focuses on sustainability and inclusivity within the workplace. FDC delivered this project successfully and on time whilst the tower was under completion.

We've broken ground at Australia's largest intermodal logistics precinct. Together with LOGOS Property, FDC have turned the first patch of soil at the Moorebank Intermodal Precinct - a momentous occasion as we mark the commencement of this remarkable construction project and the beginning of a new chapter for the future of Australian logistics. The ground-breaking ceremony symbolises more than just the physical act of breaking ground. It represents the realisation of a vision and progress towards a facility offering unparalleled supply chain benefits, warehousing opportunities and sustainability advantages. LOGOS are leading the way in setting new benchmarks for sustainable outcomes in Australian industrial developments. The reduction in freight vehicles alone will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 110,000 tonnes of CO2 each year whilst the solar and microgrid installation will save a further 67.2 kilotonnes of CO2 emissions per year. The site area for Stage 1 is 160,000sqm comprising of Warehouses 1,2 and 5. There will be 30,000m3 of concrete poured and 2000 tonnes of structural steel erected. Importantly, the structural steel is being delivered direct from the port via train to the intermodal terminal, already positively impacting on the sustainability in the building process. FDC are proud to be delivering this phase of the Moorebank Intermodal Precinct together with LOGOS along with consultants Watson Young, Costin Roe and Northrop.
