Requirements and Constraints.
Site and access
The site is steep, falls away to the west, and has a single frontage to Vaucluse Road with one existing crossover for access. Neighbouring homes sit within about two metres of both side boundaries. We've planned for at least one traffic lane on Vaucluse Road to stay open at all times, with deliveries, spoil cartage and crane work are sequenced so the road is never fully closed.
Vibration monitoring
We monitor vibration continuously at all boundaries through demolition and rock excavation, against limits agreed with the Geotechnical Engineer and alarmed so the operator knows immediately. We start away from the neighbours and work toward them, measuring as we go to learn how close each machine can safely get. Hammer size is capped and proven on site first. If readings creep toward the limits, we change method rather than push on, moving to sawing, grinding or smaller plant.
Excavation and retention
North West boundary retention is a contiguous piling with shotcrete infill, installed before excavation starts. Nothing happens on the boundaries until the Structural and Geotechnical Engineers have reviewed and approved the methodology and levels. We survey wall deflection and boundary settlement to a set sequence, from baseline right through to completion of the permanent structure.
Tower crane
With very limited laydown area and one tight frontage, a tower crane is the most efficient way to lift on this site. It keeps the road clear, avoids repeat mobile crane road occupations, and reaches from the base of the basement to the roof from a single fixed position. It also suits the building itself, which uses heavy stone and large windows that need controlled mechanical placement. We've allowed a five tonne crane for twelve months, erected inside the lift core so it takes up no extra site or road space.
Site establishment
A tight site and a large home means there's no single spot that works for the whole build, so amenities move once. Sheds, toilets and office start at the rear at ground level, which keeps the frontage and the excavation zone completely clear while we're digging. Once the structure is up they relocate into the Lower Ground level. These are the optimal positions for each stage of the project.
Services and easement
We'll run a combination of Dial Before You Dig and underground service scanning to confirm the location of every asset before piling and any close work nearby, and investigate the easement to make sure there's nothing undocumented in there. We've allowed to replace the sewer line and fully concrete encase it, with all work in the zone of influence carried out to Sydney Water requirements.
Environmental controls
Sediment and erosion controls, wheel wash, and dust and noise management are in place throughout.

The Technology Stack.
W.App
One App · Every Detail · In Your Pocket
Everything on a W. project runs through W.App: workflows and approvals, documents, live site cameras, the 3D model, project intelligence and every conversation with your W. team, in your pocket, every day.
Starlink-connected site cameras give our clients full 24/7 transparency, with no blind spots, beside a private social feed exclusive to the client and the project management team. Every W. site runs the same stack:
W.AppPrivate W.App with an exclusive feed of progress, granting clients instant updates from anywhere in the world.
W.OSOur custom-built internal Operating System. Meticulously optimised to keep all W.Staff in sync, whether in-office, on-site, or interstate.
Starlink connectivityLive site data from day one, even fully off-grid.
Site cameras · 24/7Full transparency with no blind spots, streaming to your device.
Matterport scansThe whole home captured in interactive 3D at key stages of the build.
Live programProgrammed to the day, visible to the client throughout.
Clash detectionUsing Revit & AI to surface clashes before they become issues on site.
Safety & ComplianceDigital site management: inductions, compliance and records in one place.
Computer Vision Defect DetectionProgrammed photographic capture of every element, reviewed with AI and computer vision; defect inspections documented and closed out stage by stage.

Matterport · Interactive
Below is an interactive 3D scan of a W. Project under construction. These scans are completed at key stages of the build and shared with everyone involved for transparency.

W.Home · Interactive
Asset management, DLP and warranty: The scan is a spatially accurate as-built where every asset is pinned to its real location, so warranties, serials, service history, pinned defects and the supplier and installer contact details sit on the house rather than a spreadsheet.
