Australian National Construction Review – Pinnacle Apartments Brisbane Painting

PAINTING TO NEW HEIGHTS

Pinnacle Apartments is the latest addition to the iconic building development at Portside Wharf, set next to the popular Eastside Market Street Hamilton on the Brisbane River. Leisuretex Painting Contractors were commissioned to complete both the internal and external painting of this modern luxury development comprised of 162 luxury apartments and penthouses.

For all projects, Leisuretex Painting Contractors have a key outstanding of expertise. Their specially trained staff utilise swinging stages and abseil ropes for external painting and cleaning; eliminating the need for costly scaffolding (unless totally necessary). With staff trained to Level 3 ARAA qualifications (the highest rating), Leisuretex is equipped to give the best painting service for working at heights and difficult to access buildings.

Swinging Stage boats are ideal for large expanses of painting works such as those involved in construction projects. The swinging stages are set up from the top of the building in an area restricted to only a few authorised personnel on site. More importantly; set up with the swinging stage ropes and pulleys are Leisuretex’s rope recovery lines. When Leisuretex’s comprehensively trained staff are painting from the swinging stage boats, they are all harnessed with rope lines that are secured to the building separately. Leisuretex’s commitment to maintaining a safe environment is always the highest priority.

Abseiling is a quick, efficient and cost-effective painting solution for high-rises, double-storey buildings and anything in between. Interestingly, the abseiling technique is much more cost-effective for the client. Leisuretex Painting Contractors can and do utilise the scaffolding option, however applying the two former methods is preferred. They are truly artisans of their trade in this way. The outcome is that the construction project is less expensive, with far more focus on detail.

Being an industry leader, Leisuretex Painting Contractors have been around the block countless times. With their stellar track-record and high calibre of painting, Brisbane painting projects have never been in more capable hands.

Leisuretex Painting Contractors, with their ‘Make it Happen and can-do attitude’, have applied their painting expertise in projects such as 757 Ann St, Fortitude Valley, a new construction building with a 5 star Green Star Office Design. They have also completed the super-luxurious Four Points by Sheraton, located in Brisbane. The project was a 32 storey building and has been described as the “first internationally branded, new-build hotel launched in Brisbane in the last 10 years”.

Twin Towns Services Club

Twin Towns have recently undergone major renovations to their Tweed Heads Services Club. Leisuretex Property Maintenance was involved in the painting and wallpapering of the new look club by Hutchinson Builders.

The refurbishment was completed in two stages. In the first stage the painting and decorating of the newly built section of the club was completed. This included the new gaming rooms, outdoor areas, dance and stage areas, restaurants, TAB, Sports Bar and Foyer.

The stand out for us was wallpapering the ceiling of the Pokies room; not an easy job to complete but our master wallpaperer did an amazing job! The photos do not do the work justice!

In the second stage of works the refurbishment of the level 3 function rooms painting and decorating was completed. “With a remodelled kitchen, four state of the art meeting rooms, a purpose built break out room to cater for conferences, seminars, weddings, functions as well as a remodelled Horizons function Room you may be assured Twin Towns will have a brilliant facility for members to be especially proud of and an additional diversified income stream for the future longevity of this great club.” Michael Fraser, Board Chairman of Twin Towns.

The finished Twin Towns Services Club looks amazing! We can’t wait to visit ourselves to see how much it has changed. Next time you’re there for a concert, event or even just a meal, check out the paintwork!

BBC Middle School Precinct

BBC

In time for the beginning of first term 2014 Leisuretex Property Maintenance have completed painting and rendering works to the new Middle School Precinct at Brisbane Boys’ College (BBC) in Toowong.

Work began on the newly constructed building in September 2013 with the external rendering of the building. From there our team moved to the internal painting of the precinct. Being purpose built and designed for boys aged 10 to 15 the colours and designs used really gave life to the building’s environment. “The changing educational landscape demands a holistic approach to creating learning environments and it’s this trend that has greatly informed the development of BBC’s new Middle School Precinct.”

The Brisbane Boys’ College Middle School Precinct painted by Leisuretex Painting Contractors consists of four levels, each dedicated to a specific year group with “Years 5 and 6 will be housed on the bottom level, [and] Years 7 to 9 occupying the remaining levels.” It also boasts 35 contemporary spaces designed for both group work and individualised learning, a two storey purpose built Junior School library, dedicated spaces for pastoral care activities and house meetings and a state-of-the-art science laboratory.

Along with the external rendering and painting and internal painting of the precinct, Leisuretex Painting Contractors also hand treated, sealed and finished  the timber soffits in the entryway and throughout the ground floor under cover area using specialised nano technology coating systems.

The finished Middle School Precinct cements Brisbane Boys’ College as a “K-12 educational facility without equal.”

Four Points by Sheraton New Construction Internal External Paint

Leisuretex Property Maintenance have completed painting works to Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane recently opened March 3, 2014.

The 32 storey building fronting 99-103 Mary Street is the “first internationally branded, new-build hotel property launched in [Brisbane] in the last 10 years.”

The hotel caters for both business and leisure travellers with 200 typical guest rooms (each an average of 27 square meters in size) over 28 levels, one level of suites, an all-day dining restaurant, a café bar, 200 square meters of function space and a flood resistant car park.

Our works included painting of the exterior using swinging stage and abseil painting, internal painting of all areas of the hotel using various styles and techniques, rendering and wallpapering.

Walking through the lobby construction zone at Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane the Leisuretex Painting Contractors staff have painted the front lobby ceiling black with white walls, ensuring the edging between the two colours is seamless.  Timber soffits are then installed over the black accentuating the colours in the timber and giving a luxurious, contemporary look. The lobby also has a feature curved wall which was rendered and then white set.

A textured membrane was painted onto the exterior of the 32 storey building using swinging stages and abseil painting. The swinging stages are set up from the top of the building in an area restricted to only our Operations Manager and the Safety Officer onsite. More importantly set up with our swinging stage ropes and pulleys are our rope recovery lines. When staff are painting from the swinging stage boats, they are all harnessed with rope lines that are secured to the building separately. In the extremely unlikely event that one of the boats would fall, our painters would be safe.

The Leisuretex Painting Contractors staff working at these heights have undergone comprehensive training including Working Safely at Heights, Swinging Stage and Rope Access training. We also have staff onsite trained in rope recovery. Safety is always our first priority at Leisuretex Painting Contractors, and standing at the top of The Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane looking at where our staff are working from you can fully appreciate why!

The painting completed by Leisuretex Painting Contractors on each floor is stunning! The hallways have black ceilings cut in to white walls, the doors are painted black on the outward face with the rest of the door gloss white, giving the hallways the look of opulence without being overpowering inside the rooms.

In each room there is generally about 3 different colours painted: the ceilings are white, the walls a shade of tan with black features. The bathrooms are painted white giving the room a fresh and modern feel.

In the Commercial Kitchen and Restaurant the ceiling has been painted in two sections. As a full commercial kitchen must be entirely washable, high gloss paint must be used on the ceilings. However, high gloss paint is not suitable across the entire restaurant. As such Leisuretex Painting Contractors project manager had a joiner installed in the ceiling between the commercial kitchen and the restaurant. He then painted the edges between the high gloss white in the kitchen and the matte white used throughout the restaurant and bar.

‘The Eatery’, Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane’s  “lively all-day dining restaurant, [serving] great home-style food in a relaxed, modern atmosphere” was wallpapered using a bright coloured floral pattern which has then been complemented with bright furnishings. In the function rooms a more subtle grey wallpaper has been used. Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane also has a small cafe bar ‘Wrapped’ “located on the lobby level, [that] provides many grab-and-go options throughout the day, including fresh coffee, grilled paninis, sandwiches, and yummy cakes and pastries. In the evening, the area transforms into a quaint wine bar, where you can enjoy an ice-cold beer from our Best Brews™, a refreshing cocktail, or a glass from [their extensive international wine list.”

All in all the newly constructed Hotel looks fantastic and with the added Gym and Outdoor Entertaining Areas I think you can agree it is definitely worth a visit!

The Capitol Apartments

Leisuretex Property Maintenance Contractors completed internal and external painting and rendering of the newly constructed “The Capitol Apartments” late last year.

“The Capitol Apartments offer one and two bedroom luxuriously appointed serviced apartments for long-term or short-term accommodation.”

The external painting of the building was completed by fully trained staff using a boomlift where possible and abseil ropes for areas harder to reach and finer work such as window edging. Leisuretex Painting Contractors has specially trained staff for all working at heights projects.

The leisure facilities all painted by Leisuretex Painting Contractors within the building include a stylish Restaurant / Bar “Peel St Kitchen”, lap pool, Day Spa “cspa” and Gymnasium which includes an outdoor leisure area for entertaining. A small conference room for up to 50 delegates is also located within close proximity to Peel St Kitchen.

Another service we provided for The Capitol Apartments was a faux marble finish to bench tops giving the overall look that something extra without the marble price tag or maintenance.

This is not the first building Leisuretex Painting Contractors have completed for Forrester Properties painting and rendering the South Central Apartments previously.
