construction FAQs
What types of construction projects does Unita deliver?
We deliver commercial construction projects across Australia, including major refurbishments, structural modifications, base build works, building extensions, civil works and select new builds.
What is the difference between construction and fitout?
Construction generally involves creating or making significant changes to the building itself, including structural works, extensions, building services, external works and new builds. Fitout focuses on transforming the internal space for its intended use. Many commercial projects involve both. Unita can manage construction and fitout as one coordinated project, reducing handovers between contractors and providing greater continuity across the entire build.
Can Unita manage both construction and fitout works?
Yes. Unita delivers construction and interior fitout works within a single coordinated project. This can include demolition, structural modifications, base build and services works through to the final interior fitout. Managing these scopes together can reduce gaps between contractors, improve coordination, provide greater visibility over cost and programme and create clearer accountability throughout delivery.
Can Unita undertake structural modifications to an existing building?
Yes. Unita delivers structural modifications as part of major commercial refurbishments and asset upgrades. Depending on the project, this can include demolition, structural alterations, building extensions, strengthening works and changes required to accommodate new layouts, services or uses. We work closely with the project’s engineers, architects and other consultants to ensure construction is coordinated with the wider project requirements.
What should be considered when refurbishing an existing commercial building?
Before refurbishing an existing commercial building, it is important to understand the condition of the structure, existing building services, compliance requirements, access constraints and any latent conditions that could affect the works. The intended future use of the asset should also inform decisions around structural changes, services capacity and construction methodology. Early investigation and buildability input can help identify risks, establish realistic costs and determine the most effective way to deliver the project.
What approvals are required for a commercial construction project?
The approvals required for commercial construction vary depending on the location, building, scope and intended use. They may include planning or development approvals, building approvals, certification, fire and accessibility compliance and approvals from landlords, asset owners or other authorities. Projects in environments such as shopping centres, airports and operational buildings can also have additional requirements. Identifying the approvals pathway early is important when establishing the project programme and construction methodology.
