Our office looked a little different for Halloween.

Skeletons on the tablecloths, a clown standing guard in the corner, and a long table set out with paint, brushes and a pile of small pumpkins. For one afternoon the team swapped walls and ceilings for something rounder and far more forgiving.

Some pumpkins came out neat. Some came out pink with dripping eyes. One came out black with our logo on it, which we are choosing to read as loyalty.

None of it happened by accident. A big thank you to Eveyln, who planned the whole afternoon and decorated every corner of the room. If you spot a skeleton in a pinstripe suit in the photos, that was her too.

Thanks to everyone who dressed up, picked up a brush and made it such a fun afternoon. Which pumpkin gets your vote? Tell us in the comments.

We wanted this one to go out to everyone on the ground at our three hospital projects.

Our people are currently working across Ryde, Cessnock and Shellharbour, three sites in three different regions, alongside the builders and trades who are bringing these hospitals to life. Walls, ceilings, structural steel, protective coatings. Every part of the job is held to a healthcare standard.

A genuine thank you to AW Edwards, Hansen Yuncken and BESIX Watpac for trusting us with this work, and to all the site teams who make it run smoothly. To our own crew, thank you for showing up, staying flexible when plans change, and keeping the quality where it needs to be.

Late 2027 is still a while away. We will see it through together.

BEFORE OPENING DAY

On the Sydney Coliseum Theatre project in Rooty Hill, Ricky and the team were approaching the final stages of the job.

But close to completion, an issue emerged with the finish on some doors and components.
The team had to reassess the situation, prepare the surfaces again and plan the repainting all while keeping the project moving towards its deadline.

For Ricky, it came down to staying calm, communicating clearly and working through the problem with the team.

The issue was resolved, the work moved forward, and everything was completed before opening day.

Because precision isn’t only about getting things right the first time.�It’s also about how you respond when things don’t go to plan.
