This project was tendered as a Design Build of multiple duplex units. We suggested a single 144 bed 3 storey building with 36 four bedroom apartments. The University liked the idea and we negotiated a design build guaranteed maximum contract. One of the benefits of our design over the duplexes is it left room for a second building on the same property. Half way through the contract in February the University approached us to see if we could construct the second building and have it ready for September as well. We accepted the challenge, fast tracked the construction and were able to have both buildings with a total 288 beds ready for the students.
