Breathing new life into old friends. Hutchies built the North Tower of the Lady Lamington Building 84 years ago. Today, we’re proud to be working with Australian Unity to revitalise the Lady Lamington, Edith Cavell, and Lady Norman buildings for the Herston Quarter development, in Queensland’s largest ever heritage restoration. #hutchiesbuilt #australianunity #MetroNorthHHS #heritage
Our 101 Moray Street project team along with our client @deaguegroup recently celebrated the structure top out with a BBQ lunch on site. The 7 level commercial development in South Melbourne is set to redefine the traditional commercial office environment with features that reflect a 5-star luxurious hotel. The project is on track to be completed later this year.

Each year we host an annual weekend away for all the wonderful women who work at Hutchies. The getaway is a chance for the female contingent of our workforce to socialise and relax off site or out of the office. This year was no different, with #IWD coincidentally falling on the final day of the glamping trip to Byron Bay. Although we all still have work to do to improve the numbers in the construction industry, we're grateful to have such a powerful and talented group of individuals working for Hutchies! Happy International Women's Day! #iwd2020 #EachForEqual #internationalwomensday #womeninconstruction

In a historic moment for South East Queensland, the new Fortitude Valley State Secondary College opened its doors last week after we completed the first areas of the school in time for Term 1, 2020. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Education Minister Grace Grace welcomed the first Year 7 students on their first day with the opening ceremony held in the new auditorium. The school's new vertical building and sports oval will be completed later this year. Swipe to see some of the transformation, and check out our website for more pics and info: https://l.hutchi.es/2UpPRAu #hutchiesbuilt #FVSSC #education #fortitudevalleystatesecondarycollege #fortitudevalleyssc #newschool #highschool #queensland #fortitudevalley
The first ever height adjustable tower crane system, designed and constructed by Hutchies for our Skytower project has been submitted to the Australian Construction Awards 2020 for the Innovation of the Year people's choice award. The innovative system gave us the ability to operate construction plant within the 12m zone permitted above Skytower's 274m height during daylight hours to productively construct the top of the tower. Previously this would be virtually unachievable and cost prohibitive due to the constraints of traditional tower crane systems which impact upon controlled air space in the construction of ultra high rise buildings.

#Repost @thelangstonepping ・・・ We’d like you to meet Simon, who’s our Site Engineer at The Langston. In his role, Simon is responsible for forecasting timelines and work programmes for the project, meaning he’s heavily involved in the site setup, working with consultants to ensure design requirements are met ahead of construction on site. Simon’s role is vital in determining crane and hoist locations, liaising with council, and coordinating concrete pours, while ensuring access for façade and finishes trades throughout. Thanks Simon! #humansofhutchies

Allity Aged Care enlisted Hutchies to complete a major refurbishment to the Princeton View Aged Care home located in the bayside suburb of Brighton East. We undertook the works over seven stages, working within a sensitive environment and encompassing the heritage-listed St John of God Hospital site.

Late last year we completed the You Can Centre for the #SonyFoundation at RBWH. The centre is a dedicated space for young people aged 15-25, giving them a social retreat away from hospitals where they can hang out with their loved ones. It is the first #YouCan centre for the Sunshine State, providing a specialised level of care for youth with cancer that was previously not available.

Our long term client Helen from Ian Weigh Group in Rocky asked us where she could get a Mustang pinball machine like the one we have in our Rocky office. Scott decided that the car themed machine fit right in at their offices instead! New machine for Hutchies’ Rocky is on the way and we think a tournament could be in the works. #hutchieslovespinball #ianweightoyota #ianweighgroup #pinballmachine
It's that time of year again! We will be shut from 12pm today until Mon 6 Jan 2020. To all of our clients, subbies, suppliers, company members and other friends of Hutchies, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
“I did my work experience with Hutchies in 2010 through school and started my carpentry apprenticeship in 2011. I am now a Site Manager for the Hutchies Toowoomba team. I wouldn’t say I have a typical day in this job; I could be doing anything from inducting workers, tackling design issues, co-ordinating subcontractors, ordering materials, monitoring health and safety and more. Being a female in this industry has never really been an issue for me, Hutchies is an amazing company to work for and have given me every opportunity to be the best I can be regardless of gender. Sure there are some people on a job site when they first meet me that don’t initially want much to do with me but I think like any job it’s about earning respect and having confidence in yourself. My advice to other women is to jump in and have a go; challenge yourself! I find it disappointing in my 9 years I’ve only ever worked with a handful of ‘lady tradies’ on the job. Be confident and trust yourself; everybody starts somewhere!” #humansofhutchies Lauren Cockburn, Site Manager

“In the past I raced competitively for 10 years, in triathlons and mountain bike races. A highlight for me was competing in an Iron Man triathlon which consisted of swimming 3.8 km, 180 km bike ride and running 42 km. Although triathlons and mountain biking are individual sports, there were always a team of people in the shadows. Without these people (coaches, nutritionists, family and friends), none of it would have been possible. This highlights the importance of team environments. There is no “I” in Team; collectively we work towards a common goal of succeeding in delivering our projects safely, within timeframes and within budgets. Apart from doing my safety role, I enjoy helping out where I can and mentoring our young team members. These people are the future of Hutchies, let’s all support them where we can.” #humansofhutchies Stephen Hassan, Team HSE Manager
Last Friday Hutchies welcomed The Hon Mick de Brenni, Minister for Housing and Public Works to our Midtown Centre project in the Brisbane CBD for the official launch of our newest flagship pop-up construction training school together with @hutchiestraining, our @statimyaga and new Construction Sustainability & Technology initiatives. The $175 million dollar refurbishment and upgrade project is anticipated to run until 2021, create 450 direct local jobs which will include training approximately 150 students with a target of 50% Indigenous participation. Hutchies is passionate about training initiatives such as these as we believe shaping the next generation of workers is the key to future proofing the construction industry.
Wow! We’re thrilled that Howard Smith Wharves won the National President’s Award at the @masterbuildersaust 2019 National Excellence in Building & Construction Awards held over the weekend at Uluru. The National President’s Award recognised the unique achievement of this project, working in challenging conditions. Anyone who knows Hutchies knows we’re all about community and going to great events. So we were super proud to be a part of this historic, cultural revitalisation project.
