Hutchinson Builders is the largest privately owned construction company in Queensland with an annual turnover of more than $1billion. With offices based throughout Queensland and New South Wales, thiscompany specialises in residential, retail, industrial, high-rise residential and commercial project sectors.

 

Hutchinson's has an established history in providing solid solutions to achieving sustainable design outcomes and low energy building design.

 

As members of the Green Building Council of Australia, we have been leading the way in developing sustainable approaches and building services systems that address the key environmental criteria associated with the construction industry.

 

Our ESD Team
Our highly skilled and committed team offer a unique blend of experience and have the capability to meet the challenges associated with complex sustainable design.

 

We understand the importance of not only delivering a project from concept stage through to completion of construction but now ensuring that the Energy performance of a building is maintained throughout the life-cycle of that building.

 

Developing a Facilities Management team has enabled us to effectively manage the buildings’ energy performance outcomes from a tenant fit-out cycle to successfully maintaining and enhancing the ongoing building services performance.

 

We have now structured a Sustainable Design and Construction Team with the primary objective of delivering and maintaining targeted “Green Building” ratings.

 

The Team has engaged some of the nations leading experts in this field to ensure that design initiatives are at the forefront of current technologies.

 

Our Project ESD teams are committed to achieving design outcomes through the guidance of key criteria set within our ongoing training and quality procedures. Over 50 team members have now completed ESD training modules such as:


GBCA - Green Star Accredited Professionals.
GBCA - Green Star submission workshop.
RMIT University - Green Building Design.
ABGR - Metering and Energy Management Solutions


Sustainability
Through analysis of the economic, environmental, and social factors surrounding the everyday decisions in delivering quality buildings, we are able to provide an outcome that satisfies today’s sustainable responsibilities.

 

It is now well documented that a good environmental outcome can in fact, by its very nature, reduce a building’s resource consumption and have a positive effect on the overall life-cycle costing.

Energy Performance
With building life cycles and rising energy costs in mind, we are able to conduct detailed studies into how energy will be used in a building throughout the year.

 

By looking at air conditioning, ventilation, heating, hot water, and lighting energy requirements, a building’s performance can be refined. This analysis, which can form part of an ABGR assessment, allows the benefits of initiatives such as high efficiency plant and equipment, low energy lighting, shading and high performance insulation and glazing to be accurately quantified.
