Civic Hall Resto Rescue

Yadira Rengifo owns and runs Floor Sanding and Polishing Solutions in Sydney's inner west, and is now in her second year as a member of the Bona Certified Contractor Program. Yadira says that becoming a BCC has helped her to win jobs that previously she may have missed out on, as being an accredited floor sander with an international brand like Bona reinforces the clients confidence that the job will be done right. She adds that Bona stands by her with helpful product and technical support when she needs it, and that being a BCC is an advantage in an industry that is unregulated and where no-one is licensed, as it presents FSP Solutions as a more professional business. FSP have just completed the restoration of the Drummoyne Civic Hall which is a perfect example of this.

Paxton Building Group contracted FSP to undertake a full restoration of the parquetry floor in the Drummoyne Civic Hall which was in very poor condition. Loose boards on the hall floor were removed and refitted, but otherwise it was found the floor was in good basic condition, just totally worn out. A full sand back to raw timber was undertaken on the parquetry Brush Box hardwood, then the floor was sealed with Bona Classic Intense, following this 2 coats of Traffic HD were applied.

A total floor area of approx 300+ sqm was completed in 4 days including sanding and sealing with top coats.

The council requirements were quite strict as the client required the use of non toxic finishes that had no harmful off-gassing, smells or associated health risks, so it could be immediately put back into use by the various public groups who utilised the hall regularly. Council conducted site checks throughout the works and was impressed with the standard of the job and the progress, signing off on all stages with no variations required.

The job was completed ahead of schedule quicker than expected, and it was able to be put back into use with virtually no disruption to the busy civic hall schedule, with dancing classes and other community events promptly resuming.

FSP completed the works for Paxton Building group and have now established a partnership with Paxton for future works. As Paxton Building Group undertake many council projects this provides FSP an ongoing stream of projects and provides peace of mind for the client knowing the jobs will be completed on time, on budget and to the highest of standards.
