Overview
Greenview delivered a comprehensive multi-discipline engineering scope for a social and affordable housing development at 11–19 Centenary Road, Merrylands, on behalf of St Vincent de Paul. Working alongside Nordon Jago and builder Hacer Group NSW, Greenview's role spanned structural, civil, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and fire engineering, along with specialist advisory services.
As one of the most fully scoped projects in Greenview's affordable housing portfolio, this development demonstrates the firm's ability to provide coordinated engineering across an entire project from DA through to construction documentation.
The challenge
Delivering social and affordable housing at scale in Western Sydney involves managing a broad range of technical, regulatory and design requirements simultaneously. The site required a Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) to manage the impact of construction activity on the surrounding street network. Building Sustainability Index (BASIX) targets set mandatory benchmarks for energy, water and thermal comfort that needed to be met across the full development. Fire sprinkler design for multi-storey residential development requires early coordination with the architectural and structural teams to ensure spatial and structural requirements are accommodated without compromising the design.
Greenview's approach
All disciplines were coordinated through Greenview's combined REVIT model, providing Nordon Jago and Hacer Group with a single, resolved set of engineering documentation. The early engagement of building services spatial advice allowed the project team to understand the space implications of services routes before the design was locked in, reducing the risk of costly coordination issues during construction. BASIX compliance was developed as part of the mechanical and electrical design rather than as a separate overlay, ensuring the development met sustainability targets efficiently.
