Dumas House in West Perth was constructed in the mid-1960s and is Heritage Council of WA listed. The building has two basement levels, a ground floor with entry lobby and support areas and 14 office accommodation levels. Over 49 years, the heat, cold, wind and rain had deteriorated the building’s exterior in its exposed position north of Kings Park; the materials had reached the end of their useful life and needed to be repaired or replaced.

Repair of the reinforced concrete sub-structure for the 14-storey State Government office building in West Perth. This work was undertaken while the building was occupied.
