Melby Ave - St Kilda Project

Sub-Terrain Living Area

When a client comes to us wanting more space to live and land is at a premium we recommend going down. This basement project in St Kilda included piling, capping beam, shotcrete walls and slab on ground, all finished off with a suspended slab. What a great foundation for this new build!
