Cost certainty in uncertain times
RLB was engaged for its strong track record delivering Brisbane’s riverfront towers and expertise supporting project teams working with complex marine conditions. When the head contractor collapsed mid-delivery, RLB’s team stepped in with additional resources, monitoring progress on site and assessing incomplete works.
443 Queen St presented many challenges, but the project team maintained an unwavering commitment to Cbus Property’s vision. I’m very proud of how RLB’s people stayed the course to help deliver a building that residents love and Brisbane can be proud of.Paul Megram, Director, RLB
