But for Lavington-based Zauner’s contract administrator Ange McDonald, it goes way beyond bricks and mortar.
“Being part of such a project is a source of pride, as it contributes to a vital community service,” Ange said.
“It's about being part of a team to create a safe, accessible, and comfortable environment where elderly residents can live with dignity and ease.
“With a build this size there are always going to be some hiccups along the way, but this is where the creative side of building comes to play.
“Working alongside the architects and consulting teams to come up with solutions was a high point.”
Every design choice, from wide corridors to natural lighting and emergency access, was made with care and consideration for the unique needs of ageing individuals.
“For me and I am sure for the rest of the team, it’s not just about building a structure - it’s about shaping a space that enhances quality of life, fosters human connection, and supports the dedicated staff who provide care every day,” Ange said.
The single-level, 50-bed public sector residential aged care facility is master planned for future development of a further 10 beds, which will be co-located with a community allied health facility.
