The projects represent work delivered right across Queensland.

205 North Quay is a 37-level commercial tower in Brisbane led by John Berlese's team. Library+ Caloundra transformed the former Caloundra Council Chamber into a new community hub and achieved a 6 Star Green Star rating.

Michael White's team delivered Plaîs Early Learning at Camp Hill and the Townsville Northshore Retail Precinct at Burdell.

On the Gold Coast, Mitch Grimmer's team delivered the QAS Gold Coast Operations Centre at Coomera. The purpose-built facility supports Queensland Ambulance Service emergency response.

In the Gulf, Sean Lees' team delivered the new 18-bed Normanton Hospital for Queensland Health.
