WINNERS PROFILE

Berkeley on the Beach Firmly established in the construction industry since July 2016, Goris Co Projects has achieved immense success since its inception four years ago THE TEAM boasts a strong commercial construction background and experience which enables them to deliver high quality, fast paced projects.

Berkeley on the Beach is situated in the heart of Surfers Paradise and such a project was integral to the apartment complex’s overall appeal.

A cornerstone of their business practice is the very strong client and contractor relationship focus which is employed by all in the company.

The refurbishment however, was not without its challenges.

This key focus is further reflected in the ongoing, repeat clients retained by Goris Co Projects and the core group of contractors who are instrumental in delivering exceptional projects efficiently time and time again. Goris Co Projects' entry into this year’s Master Builders Housing & Construction Awards program was Berkeley on the Beach, a complete refurbishment of the apartment building’s pool and entertainment areas. The initial scope for the project was to demolish the existing pool deck around the raised pool shell, completely waterproof the existing podium and refurbish the space into a modern and luxurious poolside area. Offering an absolute beachfront position,

"The project had a three-month program however after month one, we encountered significant concrete cancer in the podium slab and surrounding areas,” company director Greg Goris said. “The original project works were put on hold while we worked with engineers and the project managers to investigate, source solution methods and rectify the existing podium slab which was above the basement carpark, before we could complete our pool refurbishment contractual works. “In the end, the project took around 12 months from start to completion.” And while such unexpected obstacles added to the overall difficulty of the project, this is an area in which Greg and his team excel. “I am very proud of how we dealt with the

challenges and our open-book approach to minimise the clients costs every step of the way,” he said. "We accepted and adapted to the project for what it became and continued to focus on how we could deliver an exceptional end result for the client." And it seems all the hard work paid off, with a truly first-class space delivered on completion. The pool and entertaining areas evoke a sense of relaxation and tranquility from the moment you arrive. Modern and luxurious, stunning new Millboard decking, new stairs, new paving, feature screens, eye-catching stone walls and high-end landscaping have given the space a new lease on life. Having completed more than 90 projects across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland since beginning in 2016, Greg and his team enjoy an enviable reputation in the construction industry thanks to their openbook approach and commitment to client/ builder communication and Berkeley on the Beach is further testament to this.
