2022 so far has presented a few challenges outside of our control but despite setbacks caused by severe weather events and COVID-19, our teams have made amazing progress.

Key project highlights include:

Baxter Road Hotel

Fantastic progress has been made on the Baxter Road Hotel so far, thanks to the project team. The structure up to the level 1(A) and level 2(B) suspended decks have now been completed, as well as erection of ground floor to level 2 boundary precast walls. The passenger lift jumpform is currently at level 3, guestroom tile selections have been resolved and 90% design submission to Marriot has been issued.

MQX4

MQX4 Project has continued to build momentum despite the challenging environment with Covid and rain. Structure works have progressed with the Jumpform now out of the ground and modified at Level 1. Slabs are now up to Ground Floor and fit-out works have commenced in the basements. The team have finalised the design, completing all contract obligations while obtaining remaining authority approvals allowing for final Construction Certificates to be issued shortly. 91% of packages have been let, with remaining packages currently out to tender with a target of April to complete all procurement.
