Client: The Star Entertainment Group
Designer: Paul Kelly Design (PKD)
Client Project Manager: Stefano Leupuscek
Delivery Model: CM converted to Lump Sum
Location: Sydney, NSW
Duration: 26 Weeks
Project Size: 652 m2

Theatrical finishes and high end fixtures.

The construction works consisted of renovations to the existing space and included (but was not limited to):

New joinery
A commercial kitchen and bar
Speciality doors (bi-fold entry and PDR operable wall)
Floor tiling and carpet
New stucco finishes and partitions
Macramé artwork

We were involved right from the concept stage and worked closely with all stakeholders, including the end-users. Our team collaborated with the restaurant operators, chefs and staff at each stage of the journey; not just the client project management team and consultants.

The initial completion date had to be brought forward as The Star needed time to allow for staff training, restaurant bump-in and pre-Christmas trade. With careful planning, our team brought the programme forward seven weeks. Staged handovers allowed training and bump-in to begin early.

SHAPE achieved Perfect Delivery and Flying Fish opened its doors with trained staff, tested menus and all systems operating the day after handover with no extra costs.
