blueVisions provided contract administration services to assist Land and Housing Corporation with the management of the project. blueVisions was responsible for the management and administration of the design development, construction, commissioning & handover, and post-completion phase of the D&C contract with Kane Constructions.
The project involves the development of 158 social housing apartments on two sites, being Lots 13 & 14 in Elger Street in the suburb of Glebe. These two sites form part of the Glebe Affordable Housing Project, a collaboration between the Land and Housing Corporation and the City of Sydney (Council), as part of “City of Sydney – Sustainable Sydney 2030” plan to increase the supply of affordable housing in the city, through redevelopment that incorporates a combination of social, affordable and market housing.
