We draw on our fundamental principles of collaboration, integrity and hard work to develop partnerships with our clients and their designers, spending time to understand the ideas and engineering at the heart of the design to deliver the very best results.

Systems

Basis Group utilises a bespoke delivery system

Our systems are those expected of larger more established companies, but with the benefit of being bespoke to our core business, commercial and hospitality fitout and refurbishment.

All Basis Group staff are inducted into our bespoke delivery system when they commence with us. This system encompasses our project delivery, financial reporting as well as our safety, environmental and quality system used on site.

Our delivery system manages all our document control, quality assurance process and all project administration. The financial control component involves monthly reporting against project budgets, using a bespoke system combining MYOB and excel.

Basis Group’s delivery system has been developed to comply with current safety, environmental and quality standards and legislation. Every project is audited to ensure that not only is the safety documentation executed correctly but it’s maintained and understood at site level. We encourage staff to explore safer ways to work and contribute to the continual development of our systems.

We are very proud of our safety record having a spotless safety record with no workcover claims or enforced undertakings against the business.

Projects

The $5.4m Federation Square Digital Facade Initiative was a complex project in a 24/7 live environment. It involved construction of a five storey high digital façade made up of over 850 LED panels creating a state-of-the-art public screen for Fed Square that wrapped around the northern and eastern side of the Transport Building which also remained in occupation and continued trading.

Construction had to be perfect to ensure every panel of the high-definition event screen worked correctly and met the 6mm pitch required to ensure high-quality display from a distance.

A technically challenging project, in addition to the space remaining in use by the public 24/7, all of the overhead catenary wiring was removed, refurbished and replaced. A new stage was supplied and installed including all services being contained within the structure and a new disabled access lift was installed.

The project was delivered under a design and construct contract and completed within 12 weeks with no delays.
