Project Overview

RJC Group delivered heritage carpentry works at 53 Great Buckingham St in Redfern. The project focused on restoration and repair of the building’s original timber windows and openings, with works carried out to preserve original fabric while improving condition and functionality.

  • Restoration and repair of windows and openings shown in the project drawings
  • Repair of rendered sills, timber window frames and timber window guides

RJC Group carried out the works as a carefully coordinated heritage carpentry scope, with each window and opening element assessed and repaired to retain as much original fabric as possible. The project required detailed attention across timber, glazing and associated operating components to restore functionality while maintaining consistency with the building’s heritage character.

The scope combined repair, restoration and selective replacement works across multiple window elements within the one building envelope. All works were delivered with a focus on sympathetic repair methods, visual consistency and long-term durability.
