Whist in Melbourne I came across a development taking place on the corner of Flinders and Spencer Streets. Couldn't be certain but from the exterior view at current stage of construction it appears so be some sort of apartment complex or office development - either way its construction offered some interesting photos!
Temporary orange props support the cantilevering floor/roof slabs. Also note the purple safety rails around each edge
An internal view shows the use of what appears to be Bondek or a similar product, with services hanging from above. Again, orange safety mesh had been used to protect workers whilst on site.
These out-of-focus shots shows an extensive network of services and ducts which are connected directly to the Bondek ceiling. It is likely that this will all be covered by a floating ceiling.
Pre-cast concrete panels have been used to clad certain sections of the external facade. It is difficult to see in these photos but the grain from the timber formwork has been exposed and is used as a decorative element on each panel.
