Aged Care Projects

Donwood Community Aged Care
Croydon, Vic

Donwood are refurbishing their 30-bed nursing home, and adding 25 new beds and an administration facility.

This $9m project presents the challenge of requiring that residents and staff remain in the facility throughout construction.

Construction is well underway with SJ Higgins Constructions, Jeremy Hearn and Dean Connor from CKA undertaking contract administration. Harinat Siriwan is looking after interiors.

Greenway Gardens Aged Care
Heathmont, Vic

CKA recently obtained a planning permit to construct a 20-bed first floor extension and convert seven existing independent living units to luxury VIP residential suites.

The extension, designed by Robert Caulfield and Vic Huang, will include large lounge and dining areas, new administration facilities and several rooftop gardens.

Like most aged care projects, construction cost was a major factor in the design process for this development. CKA has used a selection of lightweight materials to allow large spans for ease of construction and minimal disruption to staff and residents.

Deloraine Aged Care
Greensborough, Vic

Ten years after Robert Caulfield designed the first major extension to this 1960’s building, Deloraine is undergoing its second major upgrade and extension.

Construction will start in May to add 20 new beds, and new dining, lounge, administration and recreational facilities.

Part of the design challenge was to devise a staging program which minimised disruption to residents and staff during construction.

Aged Care Building Cost Guide

Many aged care clients tell us that it was “not knowing how much it was going to cost” that prevented them from starting their building journey earlier. We wanted to help.

Our free Cost Guides are designed to help you understand what costs are likely to be involved in your project before you start.

They include indicative costs for different project sizes and levels of finish so you can form a realistic budget from the outset.
