Client
The Graham Hotel, a 150 year old pub in Melbourne that has lived many different lives, is a staple of the local landscape and destined to stay that way for many years to come. Bringing together modern Australian dining, with traditional pub favourites, it's a popular hang out for people of all ages in the area. With a full refurbishment underway, a key part of this project was upgrading refrigeration systems for the bar and kitchen to ensure smooth operations and continuity of service.
Challenge
Highlighting just how specialised these multidisciplinary projects can be, we were contracted late in the game, as the incumbent mechanical services contractor wasn't able to complete the requirements.
Given our late start, our major challenge was the 2-week window we were given to both design and install remote refrigeration lines, which could have been made significantly more difficult given our part relied on other suppliers to come through first.
Why they chose us
The Graham Hotel team selected us for our proven expertise in refrigeration and our ability to meet tight timelines. Our reputation for always delivering high-quality outcomes, our multidisciplinary capacity and our focus on clear communication and strong relationships made us the perfect partner for this critical part of the refurbishment.
How we did it
We approached this project with a mind for doing what we do best; meeting a tight deadline without ever compromising on quality:
- Bespoke design: We envisioned and installed remote refrigeration lines to seamlessly integrate with the new fridges and freezers.
- Team work: We collaborated closely with the fridge manufacturer to ensure the requirements were understood and met.
- Rapid execution: We planned our time carefully, and threw every resource we needed to at the project in order to adhere to the deadline.
The outcome
We successfully delivered:
- No disruption to the overall refurbishment timeline.
- A reliable, high-performing refrigeration setup that meets the demands of a busy hospitality environment.
Our client was impressed at our ability to hit the ground running, while bringing the diverse range of skillsets required to get this job done on time.
