Case study · Demolition and rebuild
Factory rebuild in Melbourne’s north
The brief
A factory gutted by fire, and a client who needed it back.

Chapter 01
What the fire left
The fire left a blackened shell: an open roof, buckled racking and a floor buried in debris. Nothing inside could be kept, and the structure itself was no longer sound.

Chapter 02
How the crew approached demolition
Before a machine moved, the team walked the building to work out what had to come down, in what order, and how to keep the site and its neighbours safe while it happened.
Still from Prime’s project film.
Chapter 03
What was delivered
Two days of demolition cleared the damaged building. Prime reports that the site then went on to a full rebuild. Photographs of the finished factory have not been published yet, so this story closes on the documented demolition.
