Specialising in project management, design and construction services, including new developments, refurbishments and fitouts, and adaptive re-use, Growthbuilt have been in the industry for over 12 years and have a reputation for completing projects of a highest quality, on time and within budget.
Growthbuilt were engaged for the design and construction of 140 apartments with four basement levels that would make up The Carl. Demolition commenced in June 2015 and work continued through to mid-2017. At the job’s peak there were approximately 150 subcontractors onsite across a variety of trades.
“Growthbuilt prides itself on providing intelligent and cost-effective solutions for construction complexities,” says Growthbuilt Joint-CEO, Peter Sukkar. The building design at The Carl consists of two buildings, the tallest being 18-storeys high, with four underground carpark levels and the other 6-levels of residential apartments. Being one of Carlingford’s tallest and most complex apartment buildings, the project involved numerous subcontractors, consultants and suppliers onsite at any one time, as such risk management was of paramount importance to Growthbuilt. This was compounded with added complexity to the construction logistics caused by an existing incomplete excavation adjacent to the basement of The Carl.

According to Construction Manager, George Bitar, “The development next door came to a complete stand still whilst our construction methodology was adapted to include the management of any risk associated in undermining the adjacent development’s piles. Test pits were excavated to determine depth of piles and a design was carried out and executed to ensure no piles were undermined, compromising the adjacent development.”
This is just one example of how Growthbuilt have built their reputation as a specialist organisation in the construction industry, placing their focus on solutions driven project management, competitive pricing, value management, custom engineering, innovation, diversity and collaboration, and integrity with the community. It is policy at Growthbuilt to challenge the status quo, creating value engineered alternative designs for our clients, determining innovative construction methodologies, as well as undertaking appropriate risk assessments, commencing at conception, then carried out through to design and delivery.
