BP

The 800-square-metre tenancy required a full Design and Construct delivery model. Working closely with interiors firm WeWork, the team clarified BP’s requirements and set up a fast-tracked programme to meet relocation dates across an 800 square metre tenancy. The scope involved transforming a raw commercial shell into a premium workplace tailored to BP’s operational and cultural needs. To achieve this, Swan Group worked in close collaboration with both WeWork and the client team from the outset. With just seven weeks available from site access to handover, the work was carefully sequenced and monitored to meet the tight schedule. Swan Group’s in-house joinery division, Swan Group Architectural Finishes, played a critical role in accelerating delivery. By fabricating and installing custom elements in parallel to base build and services works, the team reduced dependencies and maintained consistent momentum onsite.

Coordinated execution in a live building

The fitout took place in a busy CBD tower during a period with other construction activity on site. A key challenge was the coordination of building access, given the volume of concurrent fitout and base build works. Swan Group managed access with stakeholders so works could proceed in line with the programme and with building protocols in mind. The team planned work fronts and sequencing to suit the building context. Design questions were resolved in step with site progress, keeping the delivery rhythm steady. The focus stayed on safe site movements, clear communication, and timely hand-offs between trades.

High standards

The outcome presents as a considered workplace for a global brand. The fitout shows consistent detailing and refined material choices, with custom joinery by Swan Architectural Finishes tying spaces together. The Design and Construct approach helped align design and delivery, so what was drawn could be built in the time available, and built well. The successful delivery of this fitout reinforced Swan Group’s reputation for delivering complex, time-sensitive commercial projects with precision. It highlighted the benefit of having in-house capabilities in both construction and joinery, allowing tighter control over cost and quality. From day one to handover, Swan Group provided a single point of accountability and a hands-on team that adapted quickly to evolving site conditions. This is a clear example of how an integrated delivery model can achieve high-performance results in compressed timeframes without compromising quality or safety.
