Rokon are proud to be a project partner in the development of Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre, helping Frasers Property Australia create solid foundations for the delivery of this project.

Rokon coordinated works around the commercial / retail builder and assisted with gaining access for other trades as required. Our team were always aware of not only their own program time frames but also of others. They facilitated a whole project team environment to prevent any delays to the sustainable development. Brownfield works often present many design and construability issues. We worked closely with designers, authorities and our client to ensure the most cost effective and timely outcome were achieved. At all times demonstrating a willingness to work to the best outcome for all, not just for Rokon.
