In June 2017, The Block TV show producers lodged renovation plans for The Gatwick Hotel at 34 Fitzroy Street St. Kilda, with the Port Phillip City Council.
It was confirmed that the site will have eight apartments, two-bedrooms on the ground level and three-bedrooms for the remaining apartments, the existing roof to be partly demolished and a fourth floor built to include pergolas above outdoor terraces & a car park area would have six car spaces, bicycle parking, and secure storage.
Once again, Scaffold will be supplied and erected by Stilcon Scaffolding and iScaf ® will be used to generate the designs. The Block Season 14 is expected to be shown mid 2018.
Stilcon Scaffolding used iScaf®, iQuote®, and iRent® to supply scaffold for the Block 2017
On 17 March 2017, it was officially confirmed that 46 Regent Street, Elsternwick, was the location of The Block’s thirteenth season with filming to begin on 27 April 2017.
However, they would not be building a property from the ground up, as five old rundown weatherboard houses were being relocated to the location, meaning that it was the first time since the sixth season the contestants renovated a house.
The Block’s open for inspection took place on Sunday, 15 October 2017. The Block auctions (or Block-tions) for the houses were held on Saturday, 28 October 2017. Elyse & Josh won the series with comedian Dave Hughes buying their property for over $3m.
Stilcon Scaffolding leveraged the suite of iQuote®, iRent®, and iScaf® Scaffolding Software tools to draw, quote, and manage the scaffolding process from concept through approval, delivery, erection, dismantle and return to stock.
Congratulations to Stilcon Scaffolding for another job done!
