Project Summary

Following the successful delivery of office fitouts in NT and NSW, DLG SHAPE were again engaged by a Government Client to modernise three of its QLD offices located in Toowoomba, Townsville, and Cairns. DLG SHAPE delivered the turnkey projects across the three regional sites concurrently, coordinating the relocation of employees to their new workspaces upon completion of the fitouts.

The fitouts ranged from 200m² to 1,100m² with tailored solutions for each location. In Cairns, DLG SHAPE completed a cold shell transformation with premium finishes, including a boardroom with operable walls and custom joinery. Townsville’s project leveraged existing partitions and furniture while introducing new ceilings, flooring, and joinery, and Toowoomba’s fitout included workstations, joinery and feature finishes. Each site achieved SCEC Zone 2 compliance, integrating full-height partitions and mechanical security grilles.

Overcoming regional challenges, DLG SHAPE mitigated subcontractor shortages through early contractor engagement and reduced delays through proactive material procurement. DLG SHAPE employed innovative strategies to enhance interstate stakeholder communication and project execution. Weekly 3D virtual walkthroughs kept stakeholders informed without requiring travel, and BIM technology identified design clashes during planning, preventing costly reworks.
