This image shows the different materials that are used for different sections in the wall. Light gauge steel is used for the majority but timber is used for the sections that will need extra strength to support hanging objects as screws and fixings can grip more in timber then in the small area of light gauge steel.
This is an image of one of the smoke exhaust fans that is installed with the fire system to assist the removal of smoke from the atrium of the building and also to remove excess heat when there is a fire and there another two fans that work in the cooling system of the building to help remove heat in summer.
In this image you can clearly see that there is an area that is not finished with the rest of the floor as stairs are going to be installed in this location but to assist the finishing of the roofing on this floor
This image shows the different layers of materials of the wall on the top floor of building. There is an outer brick veneer, followed by a layer of insulation, followed by another layer of insulation, and then internal plasterboard, and all of this is constructed on a light steel framework.
In this image the central column has three separate brackets welded onto in, two that are shear connections

In this image you can see a reinforced concrete column being held in place with supports to make sure the structure sets and is in place sufficiently while construction continues on the rest of the building
In this image there are a variety of connections used. There are two seated joins on the two I beams that sit on each side of the beam. Two beams are just bolted to the outer faces of the beam and then travel into the pre cast concrete wall. And also a single cylindrical beam that has a simple bracket welded on to the beam which is then bolted to the flattened end of the cylindrical beam.
In this image you can see the mass connection point of the column to the floor bracket and then the connection between the bracket and the concrete floor.
In this image you can see the connections/ bracket that will hold glass panels to the concrete slab of the building and this will create a glass facade.
In this image you can see again that the beams meeting at the column are simply being held in place by seated joins, with another beam at the top of the column running perpendicular to the first two in held in place with a simple bracket welded to the top of the column.

in this image you can see the connection between the new steel work and the old steel work. The old column has one channel beams on each side the join to other beams to continue the overall beam structure by shim plates.
In this image you can see how the steel frame work joins up to the existing brick wall of the old office section of the building. The connection of the steel work that is shown is wide flange beam which has small wide flange beams protruding from the central section to help create the roofing frame work. This main beam joins a pre existing column which is built into the brick wall which has spacers screwed to it so services can be placed in between the existing brick wall and the new proposed plasterboard sheets to go over the spacers to create the finished product.
In this image you can see steel beams bolted to the pre cast concrete walls.
In the above image you can see the steel frame work of the building again bolted to the pre cast concrete slabs. This steel structure holds up the timber roofing structure.
In the above image displays a wide flange beam connection with a shim plate on one side to allow the beam to continue across to the other side of the building so that the roofing structure can continue to hold up the roofing elements such as insulation, mesh, iron roofing sheets and guttering systems.

In this photo, the combination of pre existing building and new faming for the new building can be seen. The pre existing timber frame is made up of hardwood timbers from the old supermarket frame of the Safeway building. The timber is connected to a new steel frame which in turn in holding up the new mesh and insulation for the roof.

These are the external photos of Bunnings Warehouse 237 Colac Road, Warurn Ponds, Victoria, 3216

Bunnings Warehouse

this is an external detail of the meeting of the external cladding of the building and the opening of the shed into the plants section where there are shade cloth areas that are held up by steel poles

this is an internal view of the previous photo which illustrates the underside of the gutter and the opening into which it falls into the pipe section. Also the light gauge steel framework that holds up the cladding and also the light gauge steel framework that supports the roof cladding and insulation which all sit on top of the steel wide flange beams.

This is a view of a framed, bolted beam-to-column-flange connection with two beams protruding off the column, with a wide flange section in the centre part of the column that is bolted to the beams for extra strength. On the top of this assembly there are some light gauge steel runner channel beams.

This is a different view of the same area and clearly shows the bolts that connect the beams and column together, and also in greater detail of the roofing structure of corrugated iron, insulation, and light gauge steel framework that the beams and column support with bracket that are welded onto them.
