Restoration of an Historic Build under $1m – Quirindi Public School
The Quirindi Public School restoration project included repairs on the administration building known as Collarene House. The restoration proved to be a labour of love, and to successfully restore the building we accomplished the following:
- Removing and salvaging the existing Welsh slate from the roof
- Procuring new Welsh slate and replacing approximately 30% of the roof whilst reinstalling those slate tiles which were salvageable from the removal process
- Removing the existing roof battens and sarking
- Replacing the roof battens with new Oregon battens and installing new sarking
- Removing the bullnose verandah and gutters & downpipes and replacing with new.

Works at Kurri Kurri High School included the demolition and refurbishment of the existing hall, undercroft amenities and stores area to create a new CAPA Movement Studio, 2 new general learning spaces, as well as a new mezzanine with a 3rd general learning space, music practice rooms and recording studios, and a control booth for audio and lighting for the refurbished stage.
Apartment Development under $10m – Fernleigh Apartments, Belmont
Fernleigh Apartments in Belmont NSW is a for-purpose development, providing opportunities for older and vulnerable members of our community, and at any stage of their housing journey, needing to access safe and secure accommodation.
