Inside public buildings that stay open across Victoria, and now in South Australia
Public access protection, Probity and reporting, Heritage and secure-site protocols
in the Government project library, each with its own story
“The counter stays open to the public, right through the works.”
A public building has an obligation the private sector does not: it has to remain available to the public it was built for, and every decision has to survive an audit as well as an inspection.
Same four questions. Your answers.
The same four, on every job, asked in whatever order the conversation goes.
What can't stop while we're here?
The counter stays open and the public still gets served while the work happens behind them.
When can we actually be there?
Around opening hours, court sittings and the public's right of access, not our preferred run.
What are we working with?
Priced to the framework and reported the way the department has to report it.
What does completed look like to you?
Completed means it passes audit, not just inspection. Documentation is part of the build.
Agreed before we mobilise.
Public access protection
Hoarding, wayfinding and staged works so the service point stays open and findable throughout.
Probity and reporting
Documentation prepared to the standard the department reports against, not the standard a builder would file.
Heritage and secure-site protocols
Approvals, protection and access control appropriate to the asset and the clearance level.
Agreed up front, evidenced at the end.
Projects that kept working while we built.
Victoria Police Academy Block C façade and RHL Sparks Reserve Archery Club.

I have had the recent pleasure of working with Ducon on the Mount Martha House Restoration Project. I just wanted to acknowledge the excellent customer service and professionalism, I re-engaged Ducon on another heritage project largely in part due to the experience provided.
