JANNALI FIRST FLOOR ADDITION

Our latest project is off to a flying start. In just a few short weeks, the demolition of the roof has taken place, the new first level floor, wall and roof frames are up. The Colourbond roof sheeting has been completed and the windows will shortly be arriving to site, meaning lock up stage is just around the corner.

This extension and renovation project is really starting to take shape. With all the new wall and roof frames up, windows in and cladding on, it is evident that this amazing home is going to be extremely unique. We are very excited to see the owners and architects vision come to life as we are nearing lock up stage.

LOFTUS – NEW BUILD

The sheer size of this project is really starting to become evident as it is nearing completion. The past few weeks have seen polished concrete floors come to life, bathrooms completed, timber flooring installed, painting underway and Kitchen installation commencing this week.

Externally, the swim spa was craned over the top of the structure and placed into the backyard.

The Team have been doing an exceptional job and we can’t wait to see the final touches come together over the coming weeks.

OYSTER BAY ADDITION & RENOVATION

Well, the month of July has proved very difficult for the building and construction industry, with the NSW Government announcing a 2-week shutdown.

Thankfully as of Monday 2 August 2021, the Pinnacle Team has returned to site with a few new rules in place to ensure that we remain a COVID safe workplace.

Unfortunately, our current projects were put on hold which will have an impact on the working schedules. This will also push back any new projects that were due to start during the month of August.

The team will endeavor to catch up where we can so that our projects can get back on track. We do ask for your continued patience, as current Government guidelines restrict the number of trades that are allowed on-site at any one given time.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and understanding as we navigate through these challenging times.

Stay safe.

Cheers from

The NSW Government announced that Construction sites in Greater Sydney can resume work effective from Saturday 31 July 2021.

We do however have some strict guidelines that we must follow to ensure our workplaces remain safe.

Therefore, please be aware that in order for builders and trades to continue with planned works, the following guidelines must be adhered to:

· All workers must maintain physical distance and apply the 1 person per 4 square meter rules onsite.

·For residential homes, construction is allowed where there is no contact between the workers and residents.

· Only 1 trade is allowed on-site at any one time, however a COVID marshal or Site Supervisor can also remain to ensure the correct processes are followed.

· There is a limit of up to 2 workers for indoor services and five workers for outdoor services.

· Any contractors who live in one of the 8 LGS’s of concern (i.e., Fairfield, Blacktown, Cumberland, Campbelltown, Canterbury-Bankstown, Liverpool, Parramatta and Georges River) are NOT permitted or allowed to work on our sites until after 28 August 2021.

·The government has announced that work sites will be able to operate on Sundays and public holidays (if we choose to) for the remainder of the year to make up for any time lost.

In addition, the Pinnacle Team will also be ensuring the following takes place on all our job sites:

· All sites will have mandatory QR code system for recording anyone who attends / visits site.

· Where possible, we will maintain at least 1.5 metre social distancing.

· All employees and trades will wear masks whilst on-site.

· A COVID safety plan has been put in place, and ach site will have an allocated COVID Marshal to ensure all restrictions are complied with whilst on-site;

· Everyone will be asked to follow good hygiene practice and encourage others to do the same (i.e. Wash your hands with soap and water regularly, use sanitizer, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth,  avoid shaking hands or touching other people whilst on-site etc.).

· If anyone is unwell, they have been advised to remain home and get tested.

It has been a very busy couple of weeks by the team on all projects. With one projected handed over, another one nearing lock up stage and one just about to commence, it has been all systems go.

We have also been busy monitoring the ever changing COVID-19 environment. Whilst it is business as usual for us, we are still ensuring that we follow the social distancing guidelines in place and continue good hygiene practices.

We hope you enjoy this project update.

With the scary times we are living in, we thought we were due for our crazy shirt day to check in with our mates and make sure everyone was doing ok.

Many people face mental health issues at some point in their lives or are aware of someone who has struggled. Therefore to raise some awareness, last Friday the Pinnacle Team put on their TradeMutt shirts, had a BBQ breakfast on site and made sure we were all doing ok.  

TradeMutt is a social enterprise workwear brand, with the mission to make the invisible issue of mental health impossible to ignore. We are proud to support this great cause.

A great team building experience, the boys from Pinnacle headed out to sea for a morning of fishing, great company and good laughs. They even managed to catch plenty of fish along the way!!!!

Our way of showing how much we value our team members and the effort they put in to making our client’s building experience a memorable one.

It’s November and the countdown to Christmas has begun.

What a busy couple of weeks it has been for the Team and an equally busy couple of weeks ahead.

Our current projects are progressing nicely. We are about to hand over our renovation at Oyster Bay, our first floor addition at Kareela is flying as we begin the internal linings and rough in stages. We also have our Caringbah alterations and addition project close to finish and a new project underway in Marrickville.

With several projects reaching completion, this month’s handy tip is on how to hang your favourite pictures and artworks to add some colour to those new walls.

From everyone at Pinnacle, we hope you enjoy this edition of Pinnacle News.

This month we focus on our Oyster Bay alteration and addition which is coming to an end.

This project involved a back addition, new double garage and complete internal refurb with new flooring throughout. An amazing transformation. Well done to the team who has worked on this project.
