THE PROCESS1. Client initiated project & requested 4 star Green Star result. Funding from EPA & QGAO (50% each). Building owner paid for half of Solatubes.
2. Design, Research and Specification Writing. Approx. 8 months from inception to end of Construction Documents.
3. Start up Green Star meeting with contractors, going through the Green Star requirements. Handed over template letters for suppliers and deliveries.

THE PROCESS4. Construction: Q-Build. Approx. 2 months from beginning to practical completion. Project Services design team worked closely with Q-Build Construction Manager during construction.
5. Green Star Submission Compilation took approx. 6 months after PC to complete.
Note: The project was completed entirely within DPW without the aid of any external ESD consultant or Formal Peer review.

BENEFITSThis Green Star tenancy was a catalyst for operational change in the tenancy & the construction process. The design & construction knowledge gained from this project was certainly valuable and has had a positive influenced on other government projects!
• Budget
This Green Star tenancy was achieved within the construction budget. The tenancy construction costs were between 10~15% more than a typical tenancy fitout of this size.

LESSONS LEARNT ON THIS PROJECT
• The design team & GS AP needs to be available to the construction team to solve issues quickly & effectively.
• Be proactive with all the contractors, including the sub-contractors throughout the construction process.
• If team members change during the design & construction process, allow for a long “cross over” time.
• If people are not motivated to get involved in the Green Star process & the submission, don’t expect decent Green Star documentation from them.
• Standard contracts need to be improved to handle the Green Star requirements.
