At the water's edge

It's the blend of old and new across five separate buildings that makes Glebe Harbour an interesting development. Yet, its variety has created many of the project's most significant challenges.

Sydney Plasterers and Painters worked on all of the buildings in the project. Director Philip Martin says this included external and internal cement rendering, hard set plaster, texture coatings, painting, toppings and joint sealant.

Coordinating 25 painters and plasterers on five separate complexes, as well as heritage buildings, involved careful programming and staff management, says Martin.

"In addition to providing quality solid plastering and painting, we worked closely with the heritage consultant on the restoration of the Walter Burley Griffin Incinerator," he says.

"This meant working from old photographs and drawings to re-create and preserve the original designs and features. Staff drew upon the company's 14 years' experience of work on heritage buildings to achieve the final, authentic finish."
