One of my favorite YouTube channels is the B1M. Apparently it is the most subscribed-to channel focused on construction. If you don't already subscribe, you can [do that over here](https://www.youtube.com/c/Theb1mGoogle/videos).

Below is a recent video about [Australia 108](https://www.australia108.com.au/) in Melbourne. It's still under construction, but it is topped out and it is now the tallest building in the country at over 300m. That makes it a "supertall."

When you're building this tall, it can make a lot of sense to segment and occupy portions of the building before construction is fully complete. Among other things, it helps to manage risk. And that's exactly what they've done here.

The contractor building Australia 108 is [Multiplex](https://www.multiplex.global/). They also happen to be our construction management partner on [Junction House](https://www.junctionhouse.ca/). Except our project is a bit more boutique than Australia 108.
