NSW REGIONAL COURTHOUSES

BGIS has provided integrated facilities management services to the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) since 2008. In April 2020, our Projects team was contracted to help deliver a $9 million fast-tracked NSW Government program of improvements aimed at supporting regional economies hit by drought, bushfire and COVID-19.

The capital works program was one of the largest ever undertaken for DCJ, comprising 62 courthouses – many of which are heritage listed – and including fire compliance, general maintenance and building fabric and function asset replacement. With a significantly reduced timeframe of six weeks for completion, we used data developed earlier by our Project Management Office to establish a high-level scope of required works and implemented a dedicated project program manager and administrator to help build, forecast and deliver on the program, which was intended to create jobs and support small and medium-sized businesses and local trades. The scope of works was successfully completed on time, and BGIS was pleased to engage several local businesses throughout the program.
