Collaboration unites the flat management network

COLLABORATION

between independent teams within Hutchies’ flat business structure enables the national network to function as a united force.

Chairman Scott Hutchinson said this decentralised but united flatline process worked to the benefit of clients and projects.

“At any given time, Hutchies has a wide range of project types in a large cross-section of locations that represents a huge national reservoir of knowledge and experience,” said Scott.

“Collaboration between the teams makes this resource available and interchangeable across our vast network.”

Scott said the collaboration can be in a formal way with structured meetings or in a more casual manner.

“Teams are autonomous and make their own decisions without being bogged down by funnelling approvals through a central location, but they work together through collaboration,” he said.

Scott said video conferencing had become a valuable collaborative tool.

“Interstate or inter-office video conferencing hook-ups are as easy as walking into the next office to confer with colleagues,” he said.

“The teams may be separated by hundreds of kilometres, but they are able to network and think as one when it comes to planning and delivery on a project.

“As well as the digital connec-

tion between teams, we also encourage travel across our regions to allow our people to engage in person with each other and with clients despite the distances separating them.

“And many of the teams organ-

ise joint social events that allow collaboration to take on a personal as well as professional status.”

• More on collaboration, see the Managing Director’s Message, Page 2.

Construction fuel update

CHAIRMAN Scott Hutchinson said the construction industry thrived on diesel and petrol and that cutting back on usage was a limited option while keeping projects on time.

Scott said a national fuel shortage would put construction behind schedule.

“Hutchies will monitor fleet fuel usage, but team members have to get to construction sites, and diesel-powered machinery like cranes and heavy equipment need to keep rolling.

“Our civil team will be hit hardest by fuel shortages and costs because they operate fuel-guzzling heavy machinery for projects like earthmoving, roads, kerb, channelling and drainage,”said Scott.

“Our suppliers will also have a hard time of it, with manufacturing and delivery costs being pushed up by rising fuel costs that will have to be passed on to consumers.

“As well, our tradies will be paying more to keep on the road.

“The cost of new projects will have to rise if the Middle East situation drags on,”he said.

HUTCHIES’ flat business structure, with autonomous construction teams within a strong culture of ownership and dedicated service to clients, is our strength.

Others often try to replicate it, but miss the balance between trusting the experience, skill, and judgement of the individual over a prescriptive system of centralised control.

We completely understand this weakness of our often-siloed structure and spend a great deal of effort in combating it to allow the positive aspects to thrive.

Mistakes repeated across the geographically separated parts of the business have been a problem that we continue to try to solve through a strengthening of our system.

As a balance to this, we encourage individuals to look for opportunities alongside their colleagues.

In recent times, there have been successful but organic collaborations between our construction teams – each bringing something to the table that the other needs to enable Hutchies to better deliver a successful project for our clients.

This opportunity-driven collaboration

then has the side effect of helping to solve for the greater risk of repeat mistakes, achieved by the knowledge sharing that then happens at the coal face between the teams involved.

Recently, Sean Lees and his Toowoomba modular team linked up with Murray Emmerson (COTY 2025) from our Coolangatta team to solve a construction delivery and programming challenge that School Infrastructure NSW had to get the kids of Lismore back into classrooms high and dry after the flood as quickly as possible.

Only together was this possible within the time, and good things have followed.

Aaron Ohl and Kyle Hare, our Townsville and Cairns construction team leaders, have taken their project collaborations a little further to bring their people together for social events to further promote sharing of knowledge and resources across what would otherwise be barriers and hard lessons learned more than once.

Beyond Hutchies’ own backyard, we have collaborated with Real Serious Games, a specialist tech firm, to produce a lesson learnt video animation. It aims to highlight

how everyday site activities can quickly become dangerous and reminds us of the importance of people and plant exclusion zones and implementing consistent and clear separation controls.

A link to the video is included in this edition of Hutchies’ Truth (see below), and I strongly encourage you to watch it and better understand the dynamic environments in which our industry operates day in and day out.

Jack Hutchinson Snr, 92, wrote some 40 years ago that to support Hutchies’ mission, “we must develop our people to better serve our clients and work with other building professionals in a constructive andrespectfulmanner”.

I would like to hope that this will continue to be part of Hutchies’ way for the next century, and that those here now will be playing their part in creating that legacy for those who follow.

Construction sites don’t stand still

STEEL, concrete, timber, glass, plant, and people are all moving – often at the sametime.Whensomethinggoeswrong, it happens fast.

This animation shares lessons learned from a delivery incident on a construction project.

In a single moment, routine work became a serious incident with lasting consequences.

It highlights how everyday site activity can quickly become dangerous when controls are missing, unclear, or not working as intended.

Exclusion zones, visitor controls, and delivery controls are part of how people and plant are kept apart on site.

It shows how quickly things can change – and why clear separation needs to be in place, and respected, consistently.

NOTE: The animation is based on a workplace incident. While it does not depict graphic injury, some scenes may be confronting or distressing. Viewer discretion is advised.

The video was produced as a result of an enforceable undertaking between J. Hutchinson Pty Ltd and WorkSafe Victoria.

Its purpose is to help understand what happened, consider the contributing factors, and reinforce the importance of safe systems of work.

Twitchers’ haven a boost for Gulf Country tourism

ETHERIDGE Shire Council has engaged Hutchies to create a new haven for twitchers and wildlife enthusiasts at Cumberland Dam, near Georgetown in Queensland’s Gulf Country, as a boost to the region’s tourism industry.

Cumberland Dam is home to a wide variety of native and migratory bird species that attracts tourists, particularly bird watchers and nature photographers, travelling on the Savannah Way between Cairns and Broome.

Hutchies’ Cumberland Dam boardwalk and visitor infrastructure construction project will enhance existing tourist attractions and provide new bird-watching facilities at the dam.

The project will include the construction of a public bird hide, extension of an existing boardwalk, and development of a walking trail along the dam wall.

Its goal is to provide a memorable visitor experience, contributing to the Etheridge Shire tourism masterplan to position Georgetown as a prominent tourism destination.

The dam site is also home to the historic Cumberland Chimney, which is the last remnant of a gold crushing plant built by Cornish stone masons during the region’s gold rush days in the late 1800s.

Cumberland Dam, 20km west of Georgetown and 127km east of Croydon, offers a welcoming environment for travellers with shady camping sites, toilets and rubbish disposal and where the combination of nature, history and camping comfort provides travellers with a unique outdoor experience.

Sole occupant for $600m landmark project

IN partnership with national integrated property investor and developer,CbusProperty,Hutchies has delivered 205 North Quay – a $600 million landmark now completeandsettinganewnational benchmark for wellness-led workplace design.

The sole anchor tenant of 205 North Quay will occupy 33 floors.

The building is one of Australia’s first office towers built around a holistic well-being ecosystem.

It features Brisbane’s first whole-floor wellness facility with a 25-metre lap pool and wellness deck, and outdoor terraces on every level to capture fresh air and natural light.

Designed by Hassell, REX and Richards and Spence, the new building provides for premium amenities with a fully integrated, state-of-the-art fit-out delivered by Hutchies in tandem with the base build.

The school that Jack built

DIRECTORJackHutchinsonJnrvisited Coorparoo State School in Brisbane as part of the school’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

The original school was built of timber and, in 1930, Jack Hutchinson I (Jack Jnr’s great-great-grandfather) was awarded a contract to build a brick extension as part of a total rebuild of

the old school structures.

He won the contract for £2,087 to build a two-storey block which had provision for two classrooms, two cloakrooms, a teachers’ room on each level, and seating for 100 pupils.

Hutchies’ structure is one of the oldest buildings in the school grounds and remains fully functional.

Expansion for The Wesley Hospital medical precinct

WORK is underway on a major medical expansion at The Wesley Hospital precinct in Auchenflower, Brisbane.

The project will deliver a 10-storey building, with a pedestrian link to the existing campus and parking for more than 200 vehicles, and support six extra operating theatres, expanded radiation oncology, advanced imaging, clinician suites, and room for The Wesley to grow its specialist services.

The Wesley Hospital precinct already delivers acute, tertiary-level medical and

surgical care through more than 1,200 visiting medical practitioners and health professionals.

This expansion will strengthen capacity in key specialist areas and help deliver safe, high-quality care for the community –highlighting the scale of UnitingCare Queensland’s investment and signalling the beginning of a new chapter for the precinct.

Hutchies is working to build this landmark project with UnitingCare Queensland and delivery partner, Fluent.

It’s scary to some – but riggers love their work

HUTCHIES’ riggers were given a huge pat on their backs as well as celebratory beersafteranine-dayprogramtodismantle the crane on the Royale project on the Gold Coast.

Hutchies Cranes and Hoists manager, Bradley Beck, said the team was up against it each day on a tight site with road closures, power line removal, exclusion zones, as well as wind and rain.

“Sea salt had rusted in bolts and pins that made it difficult for the riggers to remove some components, and access to crane ties was difficult with the team walking the steel beams using preinstalled static safety lines,” said Bradley.

“It was a very successful job executed by the crew and the preparation and support by the site team was second to none.

“The boys rose to the occasion each day, even with all the challenges they faced.

“Projects like this are what the riggers really enjoy performing.

“Some people call them crazy, but to them it is second nature and they love it.

“We have one of the best rigging teams in Australia, and they certainly earn their money on high-risk projects like this,” said Bradley.

Kind gesture sealed Jonty’s destiny into construction

JONTY Newman has wanted to be a builder with Hutchies since he was four years old, and now, as a graduate of Hutchies’ Cadet Summer School, he is well on his way.

Jonty’s dad, Anthony Newman (Thump Architectural Fittings) often told his young son building stories with one in particular about ‘Mick the Hoist Man’ (Mick Rookwood) who gave away lollies at work.

Understandably, Jonty was keen to meet Mick.

A meeting was arranged and, in 2010, when Jonty arrived on site at Scott Street, Kangaroo Point, with his own toy hard hat and high-vis vest, Mick gave him a bag of sweets, decorated with truck pictures, and a Bob the Builder card.

That kind gesture from Mick set Jonty on a course to become a builder.

Jonty applied to join Hutchies’ 2025-26 Cadet Summer School and is now on his way to a career in construction.

Building education excellence sustainability

The Hutchies-built Kangan Institute’s Health and Community Centre of Excellence in Broadmeadows has scored a 5-Star Green Star rating.

THE Hutchies-built Kangan Institute’s Health and Community Centre of Excellence in BroadmeadowsisofficiallynowoneofVictoria’s most sustainable new training facilities, after achieving a 5-Star Green Star rating from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA).

In March, the purpose-built facility received 54 points in building design and construction

– well above the 35 required for a 5-Star rating – and performed strongly across the positive, healthy and people categories.

Opened early last year, the three-storey Health and Community Centre of Excellence caters for more than 1,600 learners across nursing, aged care, pathology, early childhood education and allied health.

Supported by the Victorian Government and designed to meet the growing demand within the healthcare workforce, the centre features high-tech simulation environments, flexible teaching spaces and strong industry partnerships.

The $60 million project was designed by Architectus.

Sponsorship helps propel skydiver to world speed records

QUEENSLAND woman, Natisha Dingle, has broken two world speed skydiving records, with the help of Hutchies’ sponsorship.

Natisha, who has worked on Hutchies’ sites doing rope access, recorded the fastest female average over eight rounds at 490.25 kph and the fastest female vertical speed without a drogue at 504.26 kph.

Last year, she also retained her World's Fastest Female title at the FAI World Cup of Speed Skydiving in Austria, after reaching a top average speed in a single round of 497.31kph and setting a new Oceanian record.

With teammate, Mervyn O’Connell, Natisha followed up with gold in the mixed team category, breaking Oceanian and world records. She is now in training to compete at the world championships in Arizona in October.

“I am defending my title as the female world champion for the fifth year in a row,” she said.

“Thank you to Hutchinson Builders for support over the past year. It is very much appreciated.”

The 37-year-old has been an avid skydiver since receiving a voucher to try out the sport at the age of 15, and ventured into speed skydiving after competing in four-way formation skydiving.

“It feels like freedom to me,” Natisha said.

“You’re not thinking about what’s happening in your life, you’re not thinking about what you’re having for dinner. You’re thinking about the task at hand.”

Speed skydiving is the world’s fastest non-motorised sport in which

skydivers, wearing aerodynamic suits, intentionally orient themselves head-down to achieve maximum vertical speed before deploying their parachute.

Skydiver Natisha shows her record-breaking technique.

Big effort for Clean Up Australia Day 2026

IN what has become a popular tradition, Hutchies’ team members and their families took part in the annual national Clean Up Australia Day activities – held on the first Sunday in March each year. It was a great effort from the crew with a total of 568 kilograms of rubbish removed from Main Beach on Queensland’s North Stradbroke Island.

Team gives Charlie the cat extra life

HUTCHIES’ teamattheYatalayard went above and beyond the line of duty when they reunited a young family with its pet cat which had been missing for three years.

Earlier this year, team members reported hearing a cat in the old training shed at the Yatala yard.

Thinking it probably fell within her job description, HSE advisor, Caitlyn Craddock, went to investigate and discovered a nervous ginger moggie hiding in the shadows.

Cait said the stray puss was clearly unsure but, after a little coaxing with a slice of ham, she managed to get the first pat in.

“Once that happened, he immediately relaxed,” Cait said.

“I took the cat home for the night and affectionately nicknamed him ‘Garfield’, mainly because he had a very healthy appetite.”

The following day, Cait took Garfield to the vet to be scanned for a possible microchip.

“That’s when we discovered his real name was Charlie and, even more amazingly, he had been missing for three years,” she said.

Thanks to the microchip, Charlie’s family was located.

It turned out that Charlie may have used up most of his nine lives as he travelled more than 10 kilometres from the family home –crossing the busy M1 motorway and making his way along some of the area's busiest industrial roads before eventually taking up

residence in the yard’s shed – all of which makes his journey and three-year survival remarkable.

Cait said it was an emotional union between Charlie and his young owner.

“It was a truly special moment, and his family was incredibly grateful that we had taken care of him and made sure he was returned home safely,” Caitlyn said.

“It’s a simple reminder that sometimes small acts of kindness can have a huge impact –and we’re all glad this story had such a happy ending.”

THANK you so much for your support organising the Icon Cancer Foundation and Hutchinson Builders cheque presentation.

It was a lovely morning, and so special to have everyone together to celebrate.

Warren and Jamie, thank you for attending on behalf of Hutchies and being so generous with your time.

It meant a great deal to our Icon riders, and the patients on site loved learning about the fundraising.

Warm regards,

ON behalf of everyone at Wests (Brisbane) Juniors, I would like to sincerely acknowledge and thank the team at Hutchinson Builders for your support and assistance in helping bring this project to completion.

Our clubhouse and facilities have played a significant role in the continued growth of our club – not only in terms of increased playing numbers, but also in strengthening our financial position and our ability to engage with the local community.

Wehavecomealongwayfromour small building on the top field, and the progress we see today would not have been possible without your ongoing support and commitment.

Thanks again.

I JUST wanted to pass on my appreciation and commendation for Ben Mitchell, WHS Advisor on the Sydney Metro SSTOM Parklife project.

I’m a contractor who has just started working onsite in a high-risk position and, being fairly new to the industry, it’s been really good working around and observing someone who is clear, direct, and safety-focused and has my back.

I know you probably get more than a few complaints, so I thought better to share something real and positive.

Ben does a good job balancing firmness with fairness. I have seen him switch quickly between good guidance and stronger correction when needed.

I’ve seen him send people who weren’t wearing the correct PPE to go and do clean-up work and pick up rubbish in the mornings.

He means business, and what he says actually gets followed.

In my view, Ben is the kind of person who deserves a pat on the back for the way he carries himself and represents site safety standards.

He’ssomeoneIcanseecontinuing to grow and move up in his field, so itwouldbegoodtoholdontopeople like him and recognise his work.

Just wanted to pass that on.

Thanks,

Cracker of a night at famous fireworks festival in Taiwan

CHAIRMAN Scott Hutchinson’s fascination with fireworks is legendary, but this year he took it to the extreme, attending the famous YanshuiBeehiveFireworksFestival in Taiwan – regarded as one of the world’s most dangerous festivals. It is held each year as part of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to ward off bad luck and bring prosperity in the coming year.

Millions of rockets are fired into the crowds to “burn away bad luck”, and serious heavy-duty protective gear, including full-face helmets, thick fire-resistant clothing, scarves, and ear protection, is mandatory.

As well as the crowd rocket firings, festival-goers can opt to have their bodies wrapped bonfire-style with strings of firecrackers that are then set alight.

“The entire team is proud to help support the girls’ journeys through senior school and looks forward to seeing what they achieve.”

HANSON Paul was hoping to hook a big one with his brand new Hutchies’fishingrodandatthesametimeimpresshisgirlfriendduring a weekend camping trip.

But things didn’t go as planned when Hanson did some DIY facial piercing and accidentally embedded a triple-barbed hook into his own eyebrow.

Luckily for Hanson, his companion was a nurse who took charge and got him to the emergency room for some much-needed minor surgery to remove the barb.

Mitch and Sarah in Las Vegas

HUTCHIES’ Townsville team member, Mitch ‘Wheels’ McMahon, and his fiancée, Sarah Lyons, flew to Las Vegas in the USA for the NRL season opener to watch the North Queensland Cowboys versus Newcastle Knights game.

Mitch and Sarah watched their team go down 28 to 18 during a match, which was played in front of a record-breaking crowd of almost 46,000 in the futuristic, 10-level domed Allegiant Stadium, nicknamed the ‘Death Star’.

Melbourne makes the cut for school lunches
