Claremont Townhouses: Laminate Across Eight Handovers

Eight townhouses floored to an identical specification on a rolling handover schedule.

Project Category
Residential Development
Location
Claremont, TAS
Material Selection
AC4 Laminate 'Warm Oak'
Installation Time
8 Days Across 16 Weeks

The Challenge & Vision

Eight identical townhouses reaching lock-up a fortnight apart, each needing to be floored, cleaned and photographed before handover. The builder wanted one crew that could turn up on a day's notice and finish a unit inside a single visit, with no variance in the finish between the first house and the eighth.

Laminate flooring being laid in a newly completed townhouse living room.
Pre-cut perimeter profiles being fitted in a repeating townhouse floor plan.

The Solution

We pre-cut the perimeter and threshold profiles for a repeating floor plan, so each unit went in as a kit rather than a fresh set-out. A water-resistant AC4 laminate over a foam-backed underlay covers the whole ground floor and stairs. Each house was floored, trimmed and cleaned in one day, and the eighth is indistinguishable from the first.

Technical Specifications

One specification, eight houses, no variance.
