Project Snapshot
CCC Engineering was engaged to deliver full building services design for UG03, an existing retail tenancy at 75–79 Hall Street, Bondi Beach, being refurbished for a new food and beverage offering. The client required coordinated mechanical, electrical and fire protection documentation to enable competitive tendering, secure a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), and proceed to construction with confidence. Our brief focused on producing clear, construction-ready documentation that aligned with NCC 2022 and relevant Australian Standards, while ensuring the upgraded tenancy could operate safely, efficiently and in compliance within a busy coastal retail precinct.
