JOINA assessment
  • Shared amenity areas could create substantial non-repetitive architectural joinery.
  • The unidentified builder is the key procurement contact to establish.
  • The scale is most suitable for a large commercial joiner.

These are reasoned inferences, not statements from the issuing organisation.

Confirm before contacting
  • Who is the appointed builder?
  • Has construction physically commenced?
  • What is the final apartment count: 80, 87 or 88?
  • Are residential and amenity fit-out packages separated?
