Getting the Details Right Where It Matters Most

Interface Tiling delivered high-performance tiling and waterproofing at 88 Leveson under tight access and sequencing constraints.

Interface Tiling

On tightly programmed residential towers, tiling and waterproofing sit at the intersection of multiple trades, compressed sequencing, and zero tolerance for failure.

At 88 Leveson, Interface Tiling was engaged to deliver technically robust, high-finish outcomes across bathrooms, kitchens, and rooftop terraces, under a programme and site environment that demanded precision, coordination, and disciplined execution.

Interface Tiling played a key role in delivering the refined, high-performance finishes across 88 Leveson, contributing complete bathroom and ensuite tiling, kitchen splashbacks, rooftop terrace tiling, and all waterproofing works throughout the project. Under the direction of David Pike, the team brought both technical expertise and detailed craftsmanship to site.

“88 Leveson had its fair share of logistical hurdles — tight access, limited parking, and restricted delivery windows kept everyone on their toes,” David said. “We also needed crane lifts to get materials up to the rooftop terraces. Our approach was always collaborative, working closely with site management to keep the programme flowing smoothly and ensure we weren’t impacting other trades.”

A critical component of the project’s long-term durability was Interface Tiling’s use of ATECH’s premium waterproofing systems. The rooftop areas were treated with ProtectoWrap sheet membranes, a solution selected for both performance and longevity. “The system gives exceptional durability and is backed by long warranties, which allowed us to deliver the kind of long-term performance the project needed,” David explained. “Our team genuinely enjoys using ATECH products. They’re consistent, user-friendly, and help us maintain a high standard of workmanship.”

Beyond systems and scheduling, the strength of the delivery lay firmly with the people on site. “Honestly, it comes down to the team,” David said. “Everyone took real pride in their part of the build. Our grout girls once again nailed the finishing details, they’re a huge reason our projects stand out.”

The finished result reflects Interface Tiling’s commitment to communication, collaboration and quality.

Delivering External Cladding Under Restricted Access

Delko coordinated external cladding delivery at 88 Leveson, managing access, weather, and sequencing during a high-risk construction phase.

As urban residential projects continue to tighten access and sequencing windows, external cladding scopes are increasingly required to absorb risk rather than pass it on.

With a combined 50 years of industry experience, Delko, a partnership between Adrian De Amicis and Lee Delcus, formed a model with a multitude of services to ensure the right level of quality and production in a demanding environment

At 88 Leveson, Delko’s approach demonstrates how disciplined co-ordination and site-level decision-making can stabilise delivery during one of the most exposed phases of construction.

Delko’s works included the installation of polystyrene panels, Hebel cladding, full rendering, external membrane paint systems and detailed caulking, a package that formed a critical part of the building’s visual and weatherproof performance.

Restricted site access defined the early challenges of the project. “Without lifts or Alimaks, all materials had to be handled manually. That naturally slowed efficiency, but our appointed trades navigated through it with professionalism and a strong commitment to meeting the builder’s timeframes,” General Manager Adrian De Amicis said. At peak delivery, Delko co-ordinated up to 20 active contractors onsite.

Weather, access equipment hire costs and sequencing pressures further complicated delivery. To maintain programme momentum, Delko implemented overtime and weekend work as needed. “While weather did affect us at times, we found ways to navigate through it,” Adrian said. “Access equipment on hire meant we had to install, render, paint and caulk without hesitation.”

“With constant communication and on-site coordination, we completed our scope without creating delays for following trades. I’m proud of the efforts of every contractor who contributed to delivering a product we all stand behind,” Adrian says. “At Delko, we aim to execute with trust and provide a hassle-free service.”

“Developing sound relationships with both Daniel Perna and David Grady gave us clear visibility of timelines and allowed us to plan each stage with confidence,” Adrian said. “A massive thank you to David Grady for maintaining a steady and safe working environment throughout.”
