Protect Existing Areas
The floor and kitchen work area were covered and protected before the alteration work progressed.
SCE Project | Greenwich NSW
Top-Floor Kitchen Wall Alteration Project, Greenwich NSW
SCE completed a top-floor kitchen wall alteration in Greenwich, combining protection of the existing kitchen, temporary support, opening works, beam installation, rendering and plastering.
Project Overview
SCE carried out this kitchen wall alteration in a top-floor property in Greenwich, NSW. The work sequence progressed from protecting existing surfaces through temporary support, opening works, beam installation, rendering and plastering.
This top-floor alteration is a separate project from SCE's ground-floor kitchen wall alteration project, which involved a different property setting and work sequence.
Working within an existing kitchen made protection and sequencing important: the opening and beam works had to be coordinated with the surfaces that were being retained, followed by rendering and plastering.

Kitchen Wall Alteration Scope
The project comprised four connected work stages. Requirements for another property must be confirmed from its existing construction, proposed alteration, access, project documentation and applicable approvals.
Install Temporary Support
Temporary support was installed before opening works progressed.
Complete Opening and Beam Works
Opening works and beam installation proceeded while the work area remained temporarily supported.
Render and Plaster
Rendering and plastering were completed around the altered opening as part of the make-good work.
The documented sequence shows temporary support in place before the opening works, with the beam installed before final rendering and plastering.

Planning a Similar Alteration
An initial enquiry should identify the property type, floor level, wall or opening involved, proposed outcome, available drawings or reports, access conditions and any known approval requirements.
Discuss your structural alteration with SCE. Share the scope, available drawings or reports, access requirements and approvals so our team can plan the works. The SCE System explains SCE's structured approach to planning, delivery controls and closeout. Our certifications and registrations support that coordinated engineering and building capability.

What work formed part of the top-floor Greenwich kitchen wall alteration project?
The scope covered protection of the floor and kitchen work area, temporary support, opening works, beam installation, rendering and plastering around the altered opening.
Where was the kitchen wall alteration completed?
The work was completed in a top-floor kitchen in Greenwich, NSW.
Why was temporary support used before the kitchen opening works?
The Greenwich project sequence shows temporary support installed before the opening and beam works. It kept support in place during the alteration, followed by the permanent beam and internal make-good. For a new project, SCE’s engineering and construction team assesses the existing structure and plans the temporary and permanent support together, rather than treating wall removal as a separate demolition task.
Can SCE review a similar top-floor kitchen wall alteration enquiry?
Yes. Submit the property details, floor level, proposed opening, photographs, available drawings or reports and access information through SCE’s website form. SCE can bring structural assessment, design, approval coordination, temporary works, construction and finishing into one managed scope, with the required inspections and certification for the project.
