About Me

Port Hedland, Western Australia, Australia
Arabella Apartments is Wightman Building Company's current construction project. Located in Port Hedland, Western Australia, the 4 storey building consists of 2 ground floor commercial tenancies, 14 x two bedroom apartments, 6 x one bedroom apartments and 29 parking bays spread over two floors.
Due to the cyclonic issues involved with building in the North West of Australia, Arabella Apartments will be a complete and solid concrete structure, containing over 1500 cubic metres of concrete. The walls will be made of AFS LOGICWALL, which is a permanent formwork structural concrete walling system and externally lined with varying products.

Construction begun on the 2nd of March 2011 and is scheduled for completion in February 2012. The progress of this project will be updated throughout this blog.
