Known for their precision and attention to architectural detail, the GMR Interiors team was tasked with the installation of high-performance ceilings, partitions, and stud framing that define the South Australian Sports Institute’s unique interior spaces.

Spanning an impressive 4,900m² of partitions on the ground level, 3,800m² on Level 1, and 3,600m² on Level 2, along with 2,200m² of external framing, GMR Interiors brought scale and sophistication to each area.

Complementing these partitions, ceilings were installed across 2,700m² on the Ground Level, 3,100m² on Level 1, and 2,800m² on Level 2, providing a seamless and functional design throughout the institute.

“Our role in this project was extensive,” said Seth Powell, Project Manager at GMR Interiors. “We handled everything from insulation and plasterboard to the Level 5 finishes for the Central Heart stairs — a feature that stands at an impressive 11m.”

The work included custom 13m high partition walls for the basketball court, delivering durability and refined aesthetics suited to high-traffic sports environments.

Due to the complex slab heights and custom design requirements, GMR Interiors adapted their approach with meticulous planning and execution. “We used custom-made interior stud work and plasterboard from local suppliers to meet the project’s high standards and curved architectural design,” added Gary Powell, Managing Director. This locally sourced, high-quality material allowed GMR to deliver robust structural support while honouring the intricate aesthetic requirements of the space.

With over 70 team members deployed at peak times, the project required intense coordination across multiple trades and building floors. The success of the installation hinged on strategic pre-planning to align material logistics with the project’s condensed schedule. “Delivering such a high-quality finish in a short program was a challenge, but it speaks to our team’s commitment to excellence,” Seth noted.

Interior Detailing that Supports Wellbeing and Compliance

Mental health facilities demand more than quality finishes, they require precision detailing that directly supports safety and wellbeing. At the TQEH Mental Health Rehabilitation Service in Adelaide, Bespoke Contractors brought this expertise to life, delivering interiors that balanced performance, compliance, and design sensitivity, reinforcing their reputation as a trusted partner for complex builds

“Our scope of work for this project involved all the structural and non-structural timber framing, plasterboard linings and suspended ceilings,” explained Eddie Wignall. “Our team also supplied and installed both timber and metal feature ceiling linings, ensuring the project met the high standards expected for a healthcare environment.”

The facility’s design demanded not only quality finishes but also strict compliance with anti-ligature safety standards. This created unique challenges during delivery.

The project involved several significant challenges for us, such as tight construction timeframes, complex design detailing, and the precise execution of curved ceilings, openings, and recessed ensuite doors,” Eddie explained. “Achieving compliance with the strict anti-ligature standards required in mental health facilities demanded exceptional attention to detail and seamless coordination between all trades and the broader project team.

Bespoke Contractors is well-versed in projects that call for both technical capability and design sensitivity. Beyond healthcare, the company’s portfolio spans education and retail, with recent work including Findon Technical college, Immanuel college and currently North Park Shopping Centre. Across all sectors, the team brings the same focus on delivering high-quality finishes tailored to each client’s needs.

For Bespoke Contractors, the TQEH Mental Health Rehabilitation Service was a rewarding challenge. “Being involved in such an important facility is something we’re proud of,” Eddie said. “It’s great to know that our contribution supports a safe, functional, and welcoming environment for the people who will use it.”
