Goldenlight Pty Ltd has quickly become a key player in Canberra’s construction industry, known for its expertise in steel reinforcement and commitment to quality.

Since starting operations in early 2019, the company has made important contributions to many high-profile projects in the region, including the WOVA development. Specialising in the installation of reinforcement for various structural elements, Goldenlight ensures the safety and stability of complex construction projects.

Safety is a core value at Goldenlight. The company is committed to providing a safe working environment for all employees. It follows strict safety protocols and offers ongoing training to help team members manage risks effectively. Goldenlight is proud to have achieved great feedback reflecting its strong focus on safety.

“Our main responsibilities on the WOVA project involve the installation of reinforcement for lift pits, footings, slabs on grade, columns, walls, cores, stairs, and other general reinforcement needs,” said Gombosuren Lhamsuren, Operations Manager at Goldenlight. This technical and precise work highlights Goldenlight’s expertise in steel reinforcement, reflecting the company’s growing reputation in Canberra’s construction sector.

“The WOVA project is one of the most significant developments in Canberra for 2024,” Gombosuren said. “It’s a golden opportunity rich in high-end amenities, abundant transport options, and once-in-a-generation value.”

WOVA had a number of unique parameters that provided an opportunity for collaboration across all trades. “Whenever a challenge arose, we prioritised thorough discussions with the builders and other tradespeople involved. Through collaborative problem-solving and a concerted effort to address issues promptly, we worked diligently to ensure that each task was completed within the scheduled time frame.”

This team-oriented approach helped Goldenlight manage the project smoothly, keeping a strong focus on efficiency and coordination. “We managed the project with an average of 25 to 35 workers onsite each day, executing multiple tasks concurrently to ensure efficient progress,” said Senior Supervisor, Paanaa Ayurzana.

Each team operated under the guidance of experienced team leaders, supported by detailed schedules that outlined daily tasks. This structured approach, coupled with enhanced communication between teams and regular collaboration with other companies, streamlined operations and addressed any issues promptly.

Founded in 2018 and operating in Canberra since 2019, Goldenlight has quickly established itself as a cornerstone in the local construction industry. Specialising in steel reinforcement, the company’s commitment to quality, innovation, and industry standards is evidenced by its membership in both the CFMEU and Master Builders Australia (MBA) in 2023. This dedication to excellence has made Goldenlight a reputable partner in Canberra’s most ambitious projects, including WOVA.

“Our unwavering commitment to quality, reliability, safety and innovation has set us apart, making us a trusted name in the Canberra construction landscape,” said company director Alex Tumurbaatar. The company’s role in WOVA not only demonstrates its technical expertise but also its ability to adapt, collaborate, and contribute to landmark developments that shape the region’s future.

“We’ve recently introduced four different reinforcement installation packages, including the supply of accessories, the supply and installation of reinforcements, and the post-tension service for all kinds of sizes of projects. Our team continuously seeks innovative changes to alleviate our clients’ concerns and ensure our projects succeed,” explained Alex Tumurbaatar.

As Goldenlight continues to play a vital role in Canberra’s growth, its contributions to projects like WOVA highlight the company’s core mission: to build enduring structures that serve and inspire communities for generations to come.

ABE Consulting, a specialist consulting firm dedicated to creating accessible built environments, provided expert accessibility consulting services. Known for their outcome-based professional advice, ABE Consulting works with project managers, architects, and building certifiers to ensure compliance and accessibility for all end users.

“Our brief required a detailed review of the architectural plans to ensure compliance with key standards, including AS4299 for adaptable apartments, accessible hotel units, and the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requirements,” explained Managing Director Abe Strbik. “We were involved from the detailed design phase right through to the Certificate of Occupancy to ensure compliance.”

One of the unique challenges faced on this project was addressing the street gradient interfacing pedestrian entries at the allotment boundary, which required careful alignment with building entries, pathways, and shopfronts.

“We addressed some of these site constraints via a Performance Solution report, which allowed us to navigate accessibility challenges and maintain compliance,” Abe said. Additionally, design changes during construction had flow-on effects that required real-time adjustments to the accessibility design.

Since its establishment in 2013, ABE Consulting has been the preferred access consultant for thousands of projects across residential, commercial, education, healthcare, and retail sectors in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. Their expertise spans all stages of design and construction, including site audits to identify and overcome access barriers.

With an impressive portfolio that includes Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Meriton’s 180 George Street in Parramatta, and the Sydney Swans HQ, ABE Consulting continues to set the standard for accessible design.

Their involvement in WOVA demonstrates their commitment to ensuring inclusive environments that cater to the needs of all users, reinforcing their role as leaders in accessibility consulting.

Capital Veneering, renowned for its motto ‘Innovation in Joinery’, has showcased their expertise in producing bespoke joinery solutions for the WOVA development. With nearly 25 years in the industry, Capital Veneering has evolved from a small workshop to a multi-award-winning company with over 70 staff, delivering high-quality craftsmanship to both residential and commercial projects.

“Our team was responsible for manufacturing and installing kitchens, laundries, storage units, and wardrobes across the entire WOVA project,” said Ben Stevens. “This included unit kitchens in residential Towers 1, 2, 3, and 4, as well as bespoke joinery in the penthouse units, such as wardrobes and vanities.”

Capital Veneering’s scope extended to the Hotel Tower 1, where they fitted unit kitchens and luggage storage on Levels 1 and 2, and in the common area of Tower 2, where they installed a communal kitchen on Level 4. Despite the scale of the project, their commitment to quality and precision remained uncompromised.

However, the WOVA development did present unique challenges. “Due to unforeseen site delays, one of our biggest challenges was managing storage capacity,” Ben said. “We had to secure over 3,100m² of off-site storage space to accommodate more than 400 units of joinery until site access was available. Our ability to adapt and manage these logistical challenges was key to our success on this project.”

Beyond WOVA, Capital Veneering is engaged in other significant projects, such as the Woden Green Apartments and Melrose Apartments in the Australian Capital Territory.

Capital Veneering’s dedication to excellence is reflected in every aspect of their work, from the use of state-of-the-art machinery to the expertise of their craftsmen. Their passion for unique designs, quality output, and outstanding customer service has solidified their reputation as leaders in the joinery industry.

Flat-Out Excellence: AllPrep’s Innovative Floor Levelling Techniques

AllPrep Flooring Specialists

AllPrep Flooring Specialists, renowned for its expertise in floor preparation, levelling, and concrete repair, applied innovative techniques to create perfectly flat floors within the 10 buildings of NINE by Mirvac project.

With over 30 years of experience, AllPrep has extensive expertise in preparing subfloors and can refurbish, and level both old and new concrete surfaces. For NINE by Mirvac, AllPrep Flooring utilised the Laticrete Supercap Pump Truck System, a methodology with over 15 years of global application success.

As the only fleet of its kind in Australia, the ALLPREP LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® system has earned a world-class reputation for its versatility and speed. It is also praised as a major advancement in occupational health and safety for floor-levelling workers and other trades nearby.

With all product mixing and pumping done in the Mobile Blending Unit (MBU), the ALLPREP LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® system eliminates the need for manual handling and unloading of heavy product bags—often hundreds of 20kg bags per job. It also prevents exposure to dangerous silica dust, a common hazard with traditional manual mixing inside buildings.

The ALLPREP LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® system lays a
self-levelling compound 50% faster than other products in the market and sets in only four hours, allowing further construction developments to take place in record time.

Tasked with completing comprehensive floor preparation works across all 10 buildings of the NINE by Mirvac site, AllPrep undertook concrete rectification using the advanced SUPERCAP® SC500
self-levelling underlayment to 445 Apartments.

AllPrep’s innovative approach to pouring the self-levelling cement involves pumping it from the self-contained truck at street level directly into the building. This not only enhances efficiency and ensures a quality finish but significantly reduces the environmental footprint by minimising silica dust exposure within the building.

When it comes to floor prep, levelling, and all things concrete repair, coatings, and polished concrete, AllPrep Flooring places quality first. For large projects, they start by inspecting the floor, then a team of skilled surveyors determine the rectifications required – an essential step for concrete rectification works.

AllPrep prides itself on delivering high-quality results on the first try.

“We have the expertise to provide the best solutions for almost any application. Getting it right the first time is crucial,” said David Kealy, AllPrep Flooring Managing Director. “We’re always raising the bar for our customers and clients. We’ve worked with Australia’s top construction companies and, as our results show, we’ve met and exceeded their expectations,” David adds.

The AllPrep site team of 10 commenced work on the NINE by Mirvac site in November 2023 and completed their last pour in July 2024. Currently, the AllPrep team are utilising this system on the prestigious One Sydney Harbour Project, pumping self-levelling materials up to 70 floors in a single application from street level.

Through innovative techniques, a steadfast commitment to quality, and an unwavering focus on environmental and health standards, AllPrep continues to exceed industry expectations. Their reputation for delivering first-time excellence is well-earned, with a wealth of industry knowledge informing every aspect of their operations. From the initial floor inspection by experienced surveyors to the final installation of self-smoothing products, AllPrep’s meticulous approach guarantees optimal results, meeting even the tightest project requirements.

Recently completed and milestone projects include LendLease –One Sydney Harbour, Mirvac – Nine, Richard Crookes – Sirius, Toga – Wicks Place.
