32 Zero delivers precision joinery at MADE Marrickville, combining craftsmanship, durability, and developer-focused efficiency.

32 Zero

With a reputation built on detail, quality, and innovation, 32 Zero brought their joinery expertise to the MADE Marrickville project, delivering high-end architectural solutions that align with the development’s modern industrial style.

As specialists in architectural joinery and commercial shopfitting, 32 Zero has spent the past five years refining their craft across residential, retail, and hospitality spaces. For MADE Marrickville, the team was responsible for both the manufacture and installation of joinery across the development, including the kitchenette fit-outs in every unit.

“We pride ourselves on being agile and responsive,” said Matias Garrido, Business Director at 32 Zero. “Every joinery element is crafted to align with the client’s vision and project aesthetics—without compromising on functionality.”

One of the standout features of the project was the use of Xenolith benches, a high-performance, moisture-resistant material known for its durability and clean finish. “The material selection is crucial in projects like this,” Matias explained. “Xenolith gave us the edge—it’s practical, strong, and matches the high-end look the developer was after.”

Construction Director Braddon Quinn oversaw 32 Zero’s scope on MADE Marrickville, drawing on his experience in multi-residential builds to coordinate with other trades and ensure efficient sequencing, clear communication, and timely, precise delivery.

With a dedicated team of eight professionals working onsite, 32 Zero successfully delivered within the project’s demanding timeline, ensuring seamless integration of joinery elements across multiple spaces. “The dedication and teamwork shown by James, Alex, Zak, Nate, Kristjan, Omar, Jared, Hannah, and Nicole were instrumental to the success of MADE Marrickville,” said Matias.

Beyond Marrickville, 32 Zero continues to grow its portfolio with recent projects including Active Baby Co in Miranda, Supre in Hurstville, and Adina Apartments on Kent Street. As they expand, the company remains focused on its core values: consistency, reliability, and craftsmanship. “We’re still a young business, but our team brings decades of combined experience. We’re passionate about the details—and that shows in every project we deliver,” Matias noted.

Atom Welders brings durability and detail to life at the MADE Marrickville

Atom Welders delivered mezzanines, stairs, and handrails with precision, enhancing structure and architectural appeal.

Atom Welders

From boutique industrial units to bespoke residential builds, Atom Welders has been delivering top-tier steel fabrication solutions since 1966. For the MADE Marrickville project— an architecturally bold, mixed-use development by TOGA and Spyre Group—Atom Welders was tasked with delivering a wide scope of both architectural and structural steelwork.

Led by Director John Portelli, the Atom Welders team fabricated, supplied, and installed a suite of crucial steel elements, including mezzanine floors, structural steel stairs, balustrades, roller door frames, and stainless steel handrails. Their work spanned Levels 1 to 3, and was particularly focused on the front entry and unit access points.

“We were responsible for all the steel works, from the structural mezzanines to the stainless steel handrails,” said John. “Our team of 11 tradespeople handled every stage—from fabrication through to onsite installation.”

The project’s sleek architectural style called for finishes that were both visually refined and structurally robust. One of the key innovations was the use of bolted steel tread components in stair construction, offering a striking, durable alternative to traditional timber.

“Incorporating steel tread components rather than timber was a unique challenge,” John explained. “But it delivered on both the visual and structural goals of the development.”

With a long track record that includes everything from Chinese temples to high-end apartment awnings, Atom Welders brings versatility and deep experience to every job.

The company is currently delivering structural steel roofing for a new childcare centre—continuing their legacy of strength, precision, and quality across Sydney’s construction landscape.

Flooring That Passes Every Test at Wee Hur Redfern

Silver Trading delivered precision flooring across Wee Hur Redfern, showcasing craftsmanship, coordination, and multi-surface expertise.

Silver Trading Timber Flooring

Silver Trading Timber Flooring, a Sydney-based leader in flooring solutions, has brought technical mastery and attention to detail to the Wee Hur Student Accommodation project in Redfern. With 11 years of industry experience and a team of 30, the company deployed 20 skilled professionals to deliver a comprehensive flooring package across the multi-storey development.

The scope of Silver Trading’s work included tiling, carpet tiles, vinyl, rubber flooring, and floor preparation—covering every single surface within the student housing complex. It was the company’s first collaboration with Richard Crookes Construction, and Director Patrick Yu says it was a standout opportunity to showcase the team’s expertise.

“This project really tested our team in all the right ways,” Patrick said. “There were some intricate geometric shapes in the lobby design that required precision cutting and careful execution. Luckily, our experienced installers made light work of it.”

Additional challenges included a complex mixed carpet tile design in the corridors and the logistical hurdles of operating in a tight inner-city environment. “Being in the city made material delivery planning critical,” Patrick explained. “We had to coordinate everything closely to ensure the project stayed on track.”


Silver Trading’s ability to navigate these challenges while maintaining a high-quality finish reinforces their reputation for tailored, reliable flooring services. “We pride ourselves on providing the perfect flooring solution—and this project is a great example of that,” said Patrick.

Beyond Wee Hur, the team is currently delivering flooring works at Concord High School, Chatswood Golf Club, and Amara Senior Living, continuing their tradition of excellence across commercial, educational, and residential sectors.

Total Concept Industries has successfully delivered a fully integrated fire protection solution for the 388 Lane Cove Apartments, ensuring long-term safety, compliance, and performance from the ground up.

With over 55 years of combined experience, Total Concept Industries brought its end-to-end fire systems service to this mixed-use development—covering design, installation, and ongoing asset maintenance.

“Our full-scope model was instrumental in delivering an integrated, compliant, and cost-effective fire safety solution for the 388 Lane Cove project,” says General Manager, Anita Kingdom. “By managing the fire systems from the outset, we ensured the project stayed on schedule and met all relevant building legislation.”

One of the key challenges for the project was the multi-class nature of the development, requiring tailored approaches across Class 2 residential areas and Class 9 components. Total Concept Industries’ in-depth knowledge of evolving fire safety legislation allowed for system designs that aligned with current regulations while anticipating future compliance and maintenance needs.


As a specialist in fire protection project management, Total Concept Industries worked closely with the builder and other trades to co-ordinate works, minimise delays, and ensure fire safety systems were fully integrated within the broader construction framework. Their partnership-first approach, combined with deep product knowledge and local expertise, led to seamless execution and long-term value for stakeholders.

Total Concept Industries’ focus on the full lifecycle of the building also ensures peace of mind for residents and owners. “Our asset management strategy supports ongoing compliance and system reliability, helping our clients protect both their people and their investments,” Anita said.

Through transparency, innovation, and collaboration, Total Concept Industries continues to raise the bar in fire protection—making the 388 Lane Cove Apartments another standout example of its trusted expertise in action.

Integrated Building Services for Mixed-Use Success: Goldfish & Bay at Veriu

Goldfish & Bay coordinated hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, and fire services for 154 apartments and rooftop hospitality

Goldfish and Bay

Across multi-level builds, engineering design is where coordination, compliance, and construction speed are forced to work together. At Veriu Macquarie Park, Goldfish & Bay was engaged to deliver hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, and fire services for a project that merges serviced apartments, basement parking, rooftop hospitality, and commercial-grade amenity.

The brief spanned 154 apartments over 17 levels, in addition to three basement levels, a rooftop pool and restaurant, conference facilities, café, commercial kitchen, laundry, and back-of-house spaces. Each system had to be integrated, spatially coordinated, and ready to perform from day one.

Hydraulic design included hot and cold water services, sanitary drainage, rainwater reuse, gas and sub-soil drainage, and full coordination with bathroom pod specifications. Mechanical systems covered carpark ventilation, apartment air conditioning, corridor pressurisation, kitchen exhaust, stairwell relief, and BMS integration, all designed with compliance and acoustic requirements in mind.

Electrical and dry fire design included power distribution, dry fire detection, MATV, NBN coordination, access control, and surge protection. Electrical and comms layouts were delivered apartment by apartment, right down to GPO, switch, and intercom locations. Fire services included sprinkler and hydrant systems, pump room layouts, and integration across typical floors and shared zones.

Goldfish & Bay remained involved through construction, responding to RFIs, reviewing shop drawings, conducting site inspections, and supporting final commissioning. Documentation was delivered to AFC, with technical oversight maintained through to project completion.

This project is part of Goldfish & Bay’s broader collaboration with Holdmark, which includes multiple developments across Sydney. Among these is Burwood Place, a transformative $600 million precinct featuring over 1,000 apartments, commercial and retail spaces, and a new public library.

This is where engineering proves its value—on site, under pressure, and in sync with every moving part.
