Mid-Rise Buildings

Mid-Rise Buildings: Expertise of Chalmers Constructions

In the evolving landscape of Australian cities, mid-rise buildings have emerged as a critical element in urban planning and development. Typically, between four and twelve stories, these structures blend the best of both worlds: the intimacy of low-rise buildings with the density and scale of high-rises.

Chalmers Constructions, led by the experienced Norm Chalmers, stands at the forefront of this development, bringing over 30 years of expertise to the field.

Characteristics and Construction Requirements

The construction of mid-rise buildings involves a blend of innovative techniques, traditional craftsmanship, and construction knowledge. Norm Chalmers is a Registered Commercial Builder for medium-rise buildings.

Mid-rise buildings require all aspects that Chalmers Constructions can offer, with equipment and expertise to deliver on projects.  Chalmers Constructions excels in this arena.

The requirements to complete a mid-rise building include but are not limited to the following:

  • Groundworks with numerous size excavators to suit the site.

  • Detailed excavation of footings and installation of foundations

  • Pre-cast concrete panel manufacture, including feature panels if required

  • Precast concrete panel installation

  • Supply of own 120T mobile crane for all cranage

  • Installation of reinforcement

  • Installation of ground slabs

  • Installation of formwork for suspended slabs

  • Doka formwork system if required.

  • Steelwork manufacture and installation

  • Transportation of equipment/panels/cartage with own trucks and trailers. 

The start of any building is the groundwork. The majority of precast panel jobs, this involves the excavation of detailed concrete footings. Chalmers Constructions has a range of Komatsu excavators that enable whatever size detailed footings are required to be completed. Our tip trucks enable the spoil to be removed, and the groundworks are finalised for the structure to be built.

Adherence to Regulations and Standards

Building mid-rise structures in Australia has challenges and responsibilities, particularly regarding safety and environmental standards. Norm Chalmers and his team are well-versed in navigating these complexities, ensuring compliance with the Victorian Building Authority's stringent regulations.

Tackling the Challenges

Every construction project comes with its unique set of challenges, and mid-rise buildings are no exception. Chalmers Constructions approaches these challenges with experience, innovation, and meticulous planning. Whether being involved in the planning and structural design, managing budgets, coordinating with subcontractors, or adhering to project timelines, Norm Chalmers' leadership ensures that each project is executed flawlessly.

Notable Projects and Innovations

Chalmers Constructions has been instrumental in shaping the mid-rise skyline of Mt Buller and has undertaken projects in the Surf Coast and Melbourne. Their portfolio showcases a range of successful projects, each reflecting the company's commitment to excellence. From Alpine structures to residential complexes and commercial hubs, these buildings stand as testaments to Chalmers Constructions' expertise in mid-rise construction.

Mid-rise buildings represent a vital part of Australia's urban future, and Chalmers Constructions is leading this charge. Under the guidance of Norm Chalmers, the company combines experience, innovation, and a deep understanding of the unique demands of mid-rise construction, making it an ideal partner for any ambitious urban development project.
