The QBE Parramatta project consists of nine floors, between levels 17-25 consisting of nearly 12,500m2 of floor space. The floors have primarily been designed as open plan, supporting hybrid and collaborative team-based work. 
There were five stages from the lower to upper floors with a single practical completion. This required detailed planning to incorporate penetration for the later stages.
The project consisted of acoustically treated meeting rooms, video conference rooms, main reception, commercial kitchen, IT test Lab and IT service bar, library and reading spaces, communication rooms, electrical, IT and mechanical installation and modifications. Throughout, the design incorporated feature graphics symbolising the Parramatta River.
A complication for the ceiling height to level 25 was overcome where the ceiling was considerably lower than documented. FDC applied themselves to detailed workshops and design flexibility to incorporate a re-work of the reticulation services. Floor set-downs were also indicated to have been provided by the base builder but were not constructed. FDC again applied themselves with change of materials and additional works to achieve flush floor finishes throughout.
This is a large, quality fitout with FDC Construction achieving a high standard of finishes in a challenging environment. The staged handovers for the commencement of the fitout and the co-operative approach adopted, was critical to achieving the Clients satisfaction.
