Tas Tiling Contractors completed a highly detailed tiling package that reflects the newly redeveloped University of Tasmania -The Forest project’s natural aesthetic and refined architectural vision.

The company was engaged to carry out tiling works across Level 2, including floors and walls of the Bridge area, along with approximately 300m² of flooring and 300m² of paving in the Level 1 car park. Works commenced in June 2024 and were completed in October 2025.

“The project involved working with detailed architectural layouts and various surface transitions, particularly around the Bridge and curved wall areas,” said Jiho Choi, Director, Tas Tiling Contractors. “Maintaining consistency in grout lines and tile alignment across complex geometries required close co-ordination with other trades and careful planning.”

One of the most technically demanding challenges was the installation of the thin brick tiles, which were cut down from full Brickworks Daniel Robertson bricks to just 20mm thick.

The project used an equal mix of three colour selections—Cambridge, Black and Buff—across the tiling surfaces. “Working with three different colours and slightly inconsistent brick sizes demanded precision and patience to ensure a uniform and high-quality finish,” Jiho explained.

Substrate preparation, levelling, and the selection of high-performance adhesives and grout systems were essential to achieving durability and performance in high-traffic areas. Tas Tiling Contractors undertook careful inspection and quality checks at each stage to ensure alignment with the design intent and long-term functional needs of the space.

“We’re proud of delivering high-quality finishes that align with the project’s natural aesthetic and architectural intent,” Jiho said. “It was a rewarding experience to contribute to such a significant Tasmanian project that combines design excellence with sustainability.”

“I’d like to thank our team for their hard work and Hansen Yuncken for their support throughout the project. We’re proud of what we achieved together,” said Jiho.

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.

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.
