Three buildings, eighteen floors, one supplier.
The City of Gold Coast Council is one of the largest local governments in the southern hemisphere, with its offices spanning three buildings. Refurbishing 18 floors while remaining operational over just nine months was an ambitious goal. However, as a single-source supplier for workstations and loose furniture, Burgtec rose to the challenge and delivered.
Despite the demands of multiple colour palettes, a complex program and ongoing design changes, Burgtec met the timeframe and kept to its tendered price. The project manager, Shape, later remarked publicly that "Burgtec achieved the impossible."
The council's offices feature open-plan spaces complemented by meeting rooms, focus areas and communal spaces. Burgtec delivered the entire furniture and workstation package, including offices, meeting rooms, breakout and kitchen areas, tables, chairs and booth seating. The highly bespoke solution featured unique materials, upholstery and powder-coated finishes matched across a substantial quantity of workstations, tables and chair frames.
Burgtec's appointment as single-source supplier simplified management, reduced risk and provided one point of accountability for the council and builder — enabling precise coordination between procurement, manufacturing and installation throughout a highly compressed schedule.
