Over the last few months, there have been a number of delays in the program caused by Covid-19 shutdowns and reduced capacity of trades on site. These delays occurred through September and October 2021 causing multiple disruptions and delays to the program. As a result, we are now anticipating the completion date to be mid to late March 2022. We are continuing to monitor the program and will provide further updates when possible.

Site construction has been progressing very well, with the basement structure, and ground floor slab completed in December. Above ground works have now commenced, with structure and framing expected to arrive on-site for erection in the coming weeks.
Unfortunately as a result of Melbourne’s Covid-19 Stage 4 lockdown and workforce restrictions enacted through August/September 2020, major site works were only able to commence on the 21st of September. Buxton Constructions and Tango Projects are continuing to try and accelerate the construction program without compromising on quality. However due to these commencement delays, Practical completion is now expected in early November 2021.
We will provide regular construction updates throughout the year, as well as updates if and when there are any changes to the current estimated completion date.
Buxton and the consultant team remain committed to delivering an outstanding project, and are excited to see construction of the Elision townhouses progress after a turbulent 2020.
