The construction time frame for the project was 52 calendar weeks however an arson attack, which occurred just prior to lockup up stage, added approximately one year to the program. The extensive demolition and extended the overall construction period to 121 weeks.

Smoke related damaged equated to ~$3m and caused a 9-month delay to the program whilst demolition and reconstruction activities occurred. In spite of the loss adjustor trying to re-use and recycle as many of the materials as possible, the reality was that very little could be salvaged—about 2%.

Overall the reconstruction process was handled exceptionally well between the Client, the Loss Adjustor, Manteena and all its subcontractors.
