<strong>About</strong> <strong>BCA</strong><br />
World class engineering solutions delivered by a dedicated<br />
local team, backed by the national scale and resources of<br />
the <strong>VDM</strong> <strong>Group</strong>… it’s an enviable combination.<br />
<strong>BCA</strong> Consultants is a premier Australian building services consultancy.<br />
Internationally recognised for design excellence, <strong>BCA</strong> has been<br />
implementing world-class building services solutions for over 20 years.<br />
From the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, to a major extension to<br />
the Abu Dhabi International Airport, <strong>BCA</strong> has proven its ability to deliver on<br />
any project, to any specification, on schedule and to budget.<br />
<strong>BCA</strong> is based in Perth, and yet our presence is felt much wider than that.<br />
<strong>BCA</strong> is the specialist building services arm of the wider <strong>VDM</strong> <strong>Group</strong> –<br />
a leading Australian publicly listed engineering and construction company.<br />
<strong>BCA</strong> provides specialist engineering services for a diverse range of<br />
projects within Australia and internationally.<br />
When a client chooses <strong>BCA</strong> they stay with us.<br />
<strong>BCA</strong> has become a highly sought-after partner, owing to our approach to<br />
projects, the qualities of our staff and the ingenuity of our solutions.<br />
02
Our success and reputation are founded on a strong commitment to client<br />
needs. We have a penchant for meeting and exceeding expectations by<br />
doing all of the following very well, on every project.<br />
• We deliver: <strong>BCA</strong> has a long history of successful project delivery, be<br />
it in Australia or internationally.<br />
• We provide world class solutions: <strong>BCA</strong> has been recognised<br />
internationally for its work and we have provided solutions for projects<br />
around the world since 1992.<br />
• We are accountable: We are inherently committed to achieving<br />
budget and timeline by employing stringent project management<br />
protocols. And we use innovation not just as a means to improve<br />
outcomes but to meet cost and time goals.<br />
Capability<br />
Solutions that are<br />
flexible and adaptable<br />
• We offer continuity of staff: <strong>BCA</strong>’s experienced and long serving<br />
staff provide a rare guaranteed continuity of personnel. We can<br />
confidently say that the people who start your project will finish it.<br />
• We are highly responsive to clients: <strong>BCA</strong> has a well-earned reputation<br />
for putting clients first. If that means we need to drop everything to be on<br />
site immediately, then that’s what we do. To ensure this, our engineers are<br />
always located, and available, locally to a project.<br />
• We have a national presence: We deliver locally but act with the<br />
national backing of the <strong>VDM</strong> <strong>Group</strong>. It is a structure that allows us to be<br />
highly responsive, while providing clients with security of project delivery.<br />

Continuity<br />
We know Burswood’s business…<br />
and we’re prepared for Crown’s.<br />
<strong>BCA</strong>’s multidiscipline design approach to building services infrastructure is<br />
simple. Provide cutting edge technology to deliver benchmark operational<br />
results with an intuitive level of user interface. We put ourselves in the<br />
position of your customers.<br />
Our adaptable solutions use industry proven technology that provides<br />
tangible outcomes for our clients. This translates to building services that<br />
work efficiently, are easy to maintain, provide a high level of adaptability that<br />
will change with your business needs, and provide a seamless user interface<br />
that will engage your customer’s emotions, leaving a lasting impression.<br />
<strong>BCA</strong> has been intrinsic to an enviable range of work undertaken at<br />
Burswood over 16 years, but our long standing relationship is not taken<br />
for granted. We understand that we are only as good as our last project.<br />
We’ve been there for landmark Burswood works…<br />
As Burswood moves forward under the ownership of Crown, <strong>BCA</strong> is<br />
committed to continue to set a benchmark for design and customer service.<br />
More recently, <strong>BCA</strong> has recognised and responded to the need for 6-star<br />
specification in building services. This includes works completed for the<br />
Intercontinental Hotel Room and Passages refurbishment, The Hotel<br />
Atrium buffet and lobby refurbishment, the Sky Salon, Rockpool, Nobu,<br />
external pool lighting, and Level 9 Infinity Suite.<br />

What We Offer cont’<br />
We’ve met the design challenges:<br />
• <strong>BCA</strong> developed a customised below-floor distribution system for the<br />
gaming floor, which will allow gaming machines and gaming tables to<br />
be quickly relocated to any position, without the need to add services<br />
infrastructure.<br />
• <strong>BCA</strong> implemented a dual feed distribution system, which enables<br />
the casino substation to undergo periodic maintenance of all vital<br />
switchgear and HV equipment, whilst your customers enjoy their<br />
gaming experience.<br />
• <strong>BCA</strong> designed and engineered one of Australia’s first Thermal<br />
Displacement systems for the Casino Sports Bar and multilevel<br />
nightclub, providing a highly efficient low energy conditioned<br />
environment utilising low velocity air discharged through low level fixed<br />
furniture and walls.<br />
• <strong>BCA</strong> keeps Burswood informed of changing technologies, including<br />
live testing of cutting edge lighting tools for client and guest feedback.<br />
• <strong>BCA</strong>’s extensive network of local and national industry partners,<br />
including infrastructure and supply authorities, service providers and<br />
product suppliers; help us to generate fast delivery from suppliers,<br />
rapid response to prototyping and speedy delivery of products to site.<br />
06<br />
…and we’ve added value in a number of ways<br />
We’ve already mentioned that <strong>BCA</strong> has a strong commitment to client<br />
needs. Here are some of the ways we go above and beyond to deliver<br />
better outcomes for Burswood.<br />
• We interrogate sub consultant designs to ensure their content is<br />
coordinated with the needs of Burswood’s various user groups.<br />
• We take on a role of checking consultant, working closely with<br />
interior designers, architects, and builders to ensure every detail and<br />
contingency is considered.<br />
• We work alongside Burswood user groups to ensure they are<br />
fully informed of design options that will ensure the best outcome for<br />
their projects.<br />
• We regularly conduct site visits to keep up to date with progress<br />
and monitor the quality of workmanship.<br />
• We provide a reassuring attendance to site maintenances from<br />
lighting scene re-programming at midnight to attendance at HV<br />
switching procedures in the early hours of the morning.
The Security of National Presence<br />
<strong>BCA</strong>’s success is reinforced by the resources and experience<br />
of one of Australia’s leading publicly listed engineering and<br />
construction companies: <strong>VDM</strong>.<br />
<strong>BCA</strong> has a significant national presence, and a rich history of delivering<br />
sustainable, high quality buildings, hotels and resorts, shopping centres<br />
and other commercial properties, both in Australia and around the world.<br />

engineering and construction services, implemented by a 1,000-strong<br />
team. <strong>VDM</strong> services are delivered through two major centres of operation<br />
in the East and West of Australia, consisting of multiple offices.<br />
The relationship between <strong>BCA</strong> and <strong>VDM</strong> is collaborative and<br />
synergistic, and results in better outcomes for clients.<br />

Flexibility of engagement<br />
Our aim is to provide you with total flexibility when engaging our expertise<br />
to ensure your project receives the best possible outcome. Accordingly we<br />
provide a range of scenarios including but not limited to the following:<br />
• A total building services solution: this has the advantage of a<br />
dedicated services project manager, and services coordination<br />
manager to keep the project on track<br />
• Selected building services package<br />
• Joint Venture partnership: <strong>BCA</strong> has long standing professional<br />
partnerships with local and international clients offering the benefits<br />
of local representation and knowledge. We can partner with Crown’s<br />
consultant of choice.<br />
• Schematic and design development phases only, with novation across<br />
to the successful main contractor to conduct a value engineering<br />
exercise, and final tender/construction issue documentation.<br />
• Checking consultant role direct to either the owner or the main<br />
contractor for nominated services, to conduct design, code<br />
compliance, safety in design reviews, and design certification.
Permanent site presence<br />
Where a project has a tight construction programme or is particularly<br />
technically challenging, <strong>BCA</strong> has provided permanent site attendance. This<br />
approach provides efficiencies in decision making, coordination and transfer<br />
of information, and does not necessarily result in higher overall costs.<br />
Flexibility<br />
Best-fit delivery method<br />
means client needs come first<br />
