The Brief

Ducon was engaged by the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) to refurbish and modernise the student toilet facilities at Ballam Park Primary School. The project aimed to replace the outdated male and female amenities with safe, compliant, and functional spaces that better serve the needs of students and staff. As works were to be carried out in a live school environment, maintaining safety and minimising disruption were critical to successful delivery.

Our Response

Ducon undertook a full strip-out and rebuild of the existing amenities, transforming the spaces through a carefully sequenced program of demolition, structural works, and internal fit-out. The upgrade included complete plumbing and electrical system replacements, ventilation improvements, and the installation of new fixtures and finishes—all in line with VSBA specifications.

The team also addressed several latent conditions as they emerged during the build, including structural framing modifications, cladding rectification, and possum-proofing measures to prevent further damage to the building fabric.

  • Full services upgrade: plumbing, electrical, and ventilation
  • New compliant fixtures and durable internal finishes
  • Structural and cladding remediation due to existing site conditions
  • Possum mitigation measures implemented

Working within an occupied school campus, Ducon staged works to ensure safe access, maintained open communication with school staff, and closely coordinated with consultants throughout the project. The result was a refreshed and future-ready set of facilities that support a more comfortable, hygienic, and accessible environment for the school community.
