Atec Managing Director, Grant Oliver, said, “It was a fantastic evening and a great recognition of the effort our teams put into delivering complex projects to a high standard. These awards reflect the collaboration, technical expertise and commitment to quality that sit behind everything we do at Duratec and Atec.”
“To have our teams recognised at this level is something we’re very proud of. It speaks to the capability we’ve built and gives us real momentum as we continue delivering complex façade and remediation projects across the country,” Grant said.
Atec is currently delivering several flagship projects, including the façade package for Curtin University’s Perth campus—a large and complex scope showcasing the business’s end to end capability. The team is also nearing completion of the Northern Territory Art Gallery façade installation, having collaborated closely with Sitzler and other consultants through early contractor involvement and detailed 3D modelling to optimise both constructability and architectural outcomes.
With these teams and projects having won two WA Chapter Awards, they will now go in the running for the Professional Excellence National Awards, held on Saturday 29th August.
