Excellence in Construction of Commercial Buildings $3M - $6M

​The Phillip Island Health Hub was a collaborative project funded by Local, State and Federal governments.  It was a critical infrastructure development for the people of Phillip Island with significant community interest and oversight by a Community steering committee, making the planning all the more complex.  Despite the significant consultative processes and stakeholder engagement, the project was built on time, and slightly under budget, with strong community investment evident at the completion of the project.  The building project itself was the development of a State of the Art Community Health environment which catered for Medical Specialists, Allied Health and Nursing therapy areas, and the subsequent development of an Urgent Care centre catering to the 24 hour health needs of the local community. The final build incorporated a number of environmental features which have facilitated lower recurrent costs and higher staff and consumer satisfaction.  The project was managed with significant ease and expertise with no issue, or variation too much of a problem.  All workman including the Project Manager and Trevor himself, were highly engaged and accessible; they were expert and constrictive in their advice; amenable to many and varied community requests to look through during the construction phase; and most of all, professionally provided oversight to the site development.  BCH now enjoys a contemporary environment that according to its users, provides a genuine feeling of wellbeing as soon as you walk through the doors..
