RW Invest is excited to share a fantastic progress update on Rice Works, delivered by our construction partners at Legacie Developments. The last Quarter has seen excellent progress on site, with structural, groundworks, and core installation activities advancing which is fantastic news as Rice Works begins to gather momentum at the beginning of 2026. We at RWinvest are really excited to see this site take shape as we progress further into the year.
Key Work Updates
- Precast core wall panels
Large precast concrete wall panels have been installed to form the new core, with vertical reinforcement bars projecting above for the next lift of concrete. Both precast concrete cores are actively progressing and are currently being erected up to around Level 1.5, indicating that works are moving beyond ground floor and into the first-floor structure. - Formed openings to core
Openings for doors and windows are already cast into the panels, with temporary timber formers still in place around the reveals. - Materials staged for lifting
Loose precast or steel sections are stacked on the slab in front of the core, ready for lifting into place by crane. - Access for reinforcement works
A mobile scissor lift is positioned in front of the core to provide safe access for fixing reinforcements.​ - Temporary stability measures
Temporary barriers and bracing are visible at openings at ground level, helping control access and maintain stability while the core is incomplete.​ - Ground floor slabs and drainage
Ground floor slabs and associated drainage runs to both blocks are almost complete, with only limited areas left for final pours and connection works.​

Construction activity at The Rice Works begins across multiple work fronts. A key milestone has been achieved with the full completion of piling works across the site and enabling further progress on substructure activities. Site-wide drainage and foundation works are advancing steadily, with trenching, pipe installation, and preparations for ground beams well underway.
Reinforcement works continue, with steel rebar installed and shuttering in place for beams and cores, allowing concrete pours to progress as scheduled. Concrete works are ongoing across multiple areas and being closely coordinated with reinforcement and formwork installation.
Meanwhile, pile cap and beam construction is progressing in line with the program, ensuring structural continuity across the site. Overall, the project remains on track with strong momentum as it moves toward the next phase of superstructure works.

It will be my third investment apartment with RW Invest and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Sean Orrett and Chloe Walker really do go the extra mile. Chloe in particular helped me through a particularly hard time with solicitors and all the paperwork that was involved. Living in a different country and negotiating all the nuances that come with investing, she negotiated with ease and gusto. A big thanks to you both.
Daniel Stewart, has assisted me every step of the way. This is my first property purchase and so took Daniel up on his offer to guide me through every step no matter how small. I felt comforted to have his assistance in documents I needed to both understand and sign. Couldn't be happier with the help and customer care I have received so far.
We highly recommend RW Invest to anyone looking for an experienced, reliable and knowledgeable professional company.
We are more than delighted with their services throughout the entire process. They provided us with extremely helpful advice and guidance every step of the way and ensured that we understood all aspects involved in securing a property through them.
