Working with an existing building? That's where the real work often starts.

Commercial Refurbishments in South East Queensland

GCM delivers commercial refurbishments across South East Queensland, from planning through to completion.
Commercial refurbishments are rarely as simple as replacing finishes and giving the walls a fresh coat of paint.

Existing services, occupied buildings, unknown conditions and keeping the business operating can all change the job.
Existing buildings don't always cooperate with the drawings.

That's one of the realities of refurbishment work.

You can open up a wall and find something nobody knew was there.

A service can run somewhere different to the documentation.

A tenant needs access while work is happening.

A programme suddenly needs to change.

The best refurbishment projects aren't the ones where nothing goes wrong. They're the ones where problems are identified early and dealt with before they become bigger problems.
Refurbishment work across SEQ

GCM works with commercial clients, property owners, project managers and businesses undertaking:
 
  • Office refurbishments
  • Retail refurbishments
  • Hospitality upgrades
  • Medical and Pharmacy refurbishments
  • Education upgrades
  • Government refurbishments
  • Commercial alteraterations
  • Make-good and end-of-lease works
     
We can work from an existing design and tender package, or become involved earlier to help assess buildability, budget and construction requirements.
Keeping the project moving matters.

Refurbishment projects often happen in environments where there are already people, businesses and other contractors involved.

That means construction needs to be planned around the real world.

We consider:

Access - How trades and materials get in and out.

Existing services - What needs to remain operational and what needs to change.

Staging - Whether the works need to be completed in stages.

Business operations - How construction affects the people using the building.

Unknown conditions - What could be uncovered once demolition begins.

Programme - What needs to happen to keep the project moving.
Practical construction management.

GCM takes a straightforward approach to refurbishment work.

We identify the issue.

We work through the options.

We agree on the solution.

Then we get on with it.
