161 Willis Street Refurbish and Earthquake Strengthening

161 Willis street had been converted to apartments and 2 extra floors were added. These floors had issues in construction and weatherproofing.

Strait Construction completed a structural upgrade and refurbishment of the top 2 floors of 161 Willis Street with external access only and occupants in all of the lower floors.

Strait Construction was contracted to correct and replace:

• Cladding 
• Windows 
• Seismic upgrade.

The building was occupied up to level 4 during this work.

• Access was by way of external scaffold.
• No ground floor site footprint.

An important objective of the project was to obtain a new Code Compliance Certificate. (ensureing that all outstanding issues from previous consents were addressed.)
