Building a world-class residential complex like the Green Square project requires the highest quality finishes and attention to detail, an ethos that Embelton, a leading Australian flooring and carpet contractor is no stranger to.
For over 50 years, Embelton has specialised in the design and manufacture of flooring, providing a broad range of quality timber, hybrid, laminate, vinyl flooring and carpet solutions to commercial and residential properties.
“This is a truly brilliant project that will be a standout once completed and we’re excited to be a part of its construction,” said Peter Gremos, Embelton Commercial Flooring Manager for New South Wales. “We have been contracted to supply and install Embelton Engineered Timber Flooring. This included AB Grade, straight plank and herringbone flooring as well as timber stairs in four colour schemes through 124 apartments and 7 townhouses across buildings A, B and C.”
“The curved kitchen island joinery was installed prior to the flooring, making it technically challenging for our team, particularly when installing herringbone flooring around this interface,” said Peter. “This meant ensuring that all flooring installed was millimetre perfect, to fit around the existing island.”
Across the project, the Embelton team will supply and dual bond install approximately 7,000m2 of flooring including a traditional, durable Engineered European Oak Timber flooring in both straight plank and herringbone pattern.
The team involved two senior members of staff and several professional installers who commenced on-site in April 2023 with final installation projected for April 2024.
Current projects include Nine by Mirvac in New South Wales, and Victorian projects Flinder West by Mirvac, Greystar by Icon, The Eighth by Crema, Metro Tunnel Project, and Awaken Resisdences by McNab.

Arctic Constructions has showcased their expertise in the construction of PC2 level laboratory rooms crucial for the Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Center’s clinical trials, demonstrating Arctic Constructions’ capability in delivering high-quality healthcare facilities.
“The Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre project presented us with several challenges that required innovative solutions and meticulous planning,” said Arctic Constructions Director, James Lawless. “One of the major challenges was the spatial restrictions on Level 4, where the laboratory rooms were to be constructed. We had to work closely with service trades to ensure that all penetrations through the panels were sealed appropriately, while also designing alternative wall-to-ceiling connection methods to accommodate the services.”
Access to the construction site also posed a significant challenge. “With all materials needing to be craned up onto the loading dock and 9m long panels being maneuvered with precision, the project required careful coordination and skillful execution,” said James.
Arctic Constructions also had to meet stringent design requirements. The walls, ceilings, doors, and windows had to be PC2 compliant and withstand significant pressure. This necessitated custom design work in-house, working closely with Kane’s design team to develop solutions that met the project’s unique demands.
Despite these challenges, Arctic Constructions successfully delivered a project that not only met but exceeded expectations.
“I am incredibly proud of the Arctic Constructions team for their professionalism, patience, and resilience throughout this project. Their dedication to delivering exceptional quality despite the challenges is commendable,” said James.

Behind the striking façade of the Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Center lies the meticulous work of award-winning façade specialist, Fangda Australia.
“Fangda supplied the external façade components for this project, including unitised curtain wall, glazing, perforated aluminium cladding, and featured shroud for the Level 5 terrace,” said Project Manager, James Gong. “The scope of work was extensive, requiring precision and attention to detail to meet the architect’s vision.”
One of the major challenges faced by Fangda was the fritted glass, which required a digital print to create the pattern and meet the architect’s expectations.
Additionally, the concave and convex glass, as well as the top curved fair-shaped glazing, posed design and production challenges for the unitised panel. To overcome these challenges, Fangda used special extruded profiles to achieve the desired aesthetic without compromising the overall performance of the curtain wall.
Another notable challenge was the removable curtain wall panel on the east elevation, which required careful planning to allow for the construction of a link bridge between PFMCC and the existing old hospital building.
“A big highlight of this project was that all curtain wall production supply was completed within three months,” said James.
Fangda Australia, part of the China Fangda Group, delivers high-end facade solutions for curtain walls and window walls. Since its founding in 2016, Fangda Australia has built a reputation for excellence in workmanship, competitive pricing and outstanding results. The company offers a one-stop solution for all facade needs, including design, engineering, production, logistics, site installation and after-sales services.

Central Communications and Electrical Contractors (CCE) were instrumental in providing flawless cellular connectivity throughout the Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre project, with the installation of a Distributed Antenna System (DAS).
“Our scope was to build the DAS that can provide 100% cellular coverage within Alfred Melanoma as per the specs,” explained CCE Director, Jonathan Cornford. “Being able to provide a great user experience when it comes to using cellular services to the wider community is truly rewarding. We are pleased with the performance of the DAS as shown in our testing results.”
The team encountered a significant obstacle in running 7/8” coax cables along intricate routes with bends and obstacles obstructing other services. CCE effectively navigated the complexities by fostering collaboration with other trades, ultimately ensuring the successful installation for all services.
Electrical and communications contractors were required to work with minimal allowance on cable tray runs, resulting in an opportunity for creative problem-solving and collaboration, between teams to effectively manage available resources. “We were able to overcome issues with labs, clean areas, and pressurised areas and install to suffice the builder’s expectations and standards.”
Since 1997, CCE has been serving clients throughout Australia, offering premium products and turnkey solutions for wireless enhancement needs. CCE specialises exclusively in building DAS systems to Australian cellular operators’ standards.
