Sakar Constructions

Established in 2015, Sakar Constructions, is a South Australian carpentry and interiors specialist. The company has rapidly gained a reputation for its commitment to quality and client satisfaction.

“Our scope of works included the subframing for the feature foyer, the timber and fire doors throughout the building, structural carpentry works and wet area accessories,” said Darius Hashemi, Managing Director of Sakar Constructions. This encompassed a significant portion of the interior fit-out, requiring precision carpentry and meticulous attention to detail.

“Timeframes were a challenge, especially for the foyer, which required a lot of coordination and precise layout for the framing. Coordination with Built Environs and other trades was also crucial for successful project delivery,” said Darius. These logistical complexities demanded efficient planning and excellent communication across all project stakeholders.

Sakar Constructions overcame the complex task of addressing compliance issues with existing fire doors, a critical aspect of ensuring fire safety in the building. To bring the doors up to code, they conducted a thorough assessment to identify deficiencies and implemented tailored solutions working closely with local suppliers to meet compliance. This resulted in them completing the project ahead of programme and within the budget constraints.

By supplying Corian® vanities and basins for all male, female, and staff restrooms, CASF Australia helped transform these spaces into sleek, durable, and hygienic environments.

“Our Corian® Solid Surface material provided the perfect solution for a seamless and sophisticated look,” said Emily Camongol, Marketing Coordinator at CASF Australia. This project highlights CASF’s commitment to combining innovative design with practical functionality, creating an experience that aligns with contemporary architectural standards.

The Corian® Solid Surface material blends effortlessly into the space and offers a clean, contemporary look.

“Our South Australian team partnered with Cheesman Architects to deliver tailored solutions that complemented the overall design concept,” said Emily.

Koolie Building and Construction

Koolie Building and Construction contributed their carpentry expertise to enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of the Bert Newton Retirement Village. Over a span of approximately three years, Koolie’s team provided a complete carpentry supply and installation package that included internal doors, sliders, fire doors, arcade joinery, and various fixtures such as skirting, architraves, and dado rails.

“Our focus was on providing a reliable and high-quality carpentry solution that would stand up to the unique demands of a retirement community,” said Hayden Johnson, Company Director of Koolie Building and Construction.

A key challenge arose toward the end of the project when limited on-site storage became an issue. To address this, Koolie leveraged their Lilydale warehouse, where doors and architraves were prepped, precut, and stored until installation. “By preparing materials offsite, we streamlined the process and reduced on-site waste and dust, which also meant fewer exclusion zones were needed,” said Johnson.

Koolie also implemented an innovative approach to the carpentry fix process, temporarily hanging doors with reusable painted hinges to allow painters to spray apartments freely. “This system saved the painters a lot of time, and our final product was neat and tidy,” Johnson said. For durability, Koolie painted the tops and bottoms of doors before installation, ensuring immediate sealing against wear and moisture.

Utilising their in-house Biesse Rover A 5 Axis CNC Router, Koolie manufactured many of the village’s custom doors, including lightweight, semi-solid doors designed to withstand frequent use.

“Our ability to make doors to order and machine custom timber products allowed us to meet Ryman’s exact specifications,” said Johnson.

This meticulous craftsmanship underscores Koolie’s dedication to quality and innovative solutions that enhance the longevity and aesthetics of the Bert Newton Retirement Village.

Cabinet Solutions contributed to the Bert Newton Retirement Village by providing high-quality, custom joinery that seamlessly integrates with the building’s architecture. Led by Director Aaron Rovers, the team designed and installed joinery elements tailored to enhance both the aesthetic and functional needs of the retirement community.

“Our focus was on creating joinery that was not only visually appealing but also practical and accessible for the residents,” said Aaron. “Each piece needed to complement the overall design of the village while standing up to daily use.”

Cabinet Solutions was responsible for a variety of fixed joinery installations, including kitchens, bar, library and reception areas. Using durable, high-quality materials and precise joinery techniques, they created elements that are both long-lasting and easy to maintain. “Every aspect was crafted with the residents’ needs in mind, combining
ease of use with a modern, welcoming style,” Aaron explained.

One unique feature of this project was Cabinet Solutions’ ability to customise joinery to fit specific architectural requirements and meet the varied needs of residents. The company’s custom designs allowed them to integrate seamlessly into different spaces, providing both functional storage and visual continuity. “Each area required a tailored approach, so we worked to ensure our joinery would fit cohesively within the village’s environment,” said Aaron.

This project demonstrates Cabinet Solutions’ commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. Their custom joinery has contributed to the functionality and aesthetics of the Bert Newton Retirement Village, creating a comfortable, accessible environment that aligns with the village’s vision of a modern and welcoming community.

Aaron Rovers has supplied Ryman Healthcare for over 20 years and Cabinet Solutions are currently working on a number of Ryman Healthcare’s villages.
