Argon Construction were successful in tendering for $20 million of fit out work to be completed in the tight time frame. To enable the work to be programmed and completed on time, Argon developed site facilities in Federal House adjacent to the Casino site housing Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors, Draughtsmen, Clerical workers and Foremen. In addition to these administrators, Argon needed to provide mess facilities for the 80 men and 60 subcontractors working for them.

In order to protect the high quality finishes and limit sightseers to Casino areas, Argon employed their own Security guards 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In order to meet the tight time schedule, many items were set out and pre-fabricated off site. These items included feature ceilings, Canoe and Cabaret bars.

"This is to advise we have been working with Argon Construction over the last 18 months on a number of interior fitout contracts in the Sky City Project.

The finished result is outstanding, and a credit to the Argon team.

Argon has surpassed our expectations for what we would normally expect for high quality fitout work.

We recommend their skills and services, and we would be happy to elaborate on our experiences with them, should this be appropriate."

"Their performance on all aspects of the project was of the highest standard including quality of workmanship and their ability to motivate subcontractors and achieve tight programme deadlines, completing $20 million of work in 8 months".
