sustainable workspace solutions.

People › Planet › Performance› EDUCATION
Kingston has extensive knowledge and experience in
delivering primary, secondary and tertiary education
projects for both the public and private sectors. Our
projects range from child-care centres to schools to
university buildings.
What sets us apart is our commitment to creating education facilities that are
perfectly tailored to their purpose. At the heart of this is our collaborative
approach. Our team engages with the client, Education Department and School
Principals to ensure the needs of all stakeholders are met.
Our intimate understanding of this sector means we can safely and successfully
deliver projects in operational environments. This often involves structuring our
construction programs around the educational calendar, to maximise activity
during holiday periods when students are absent.
“It was clearly evident
that the team at Kingston
conducts themselves with
integrity…
and are focused on achieving
a high quality product upon
completion. The educational
community of Edgeworth Heights

by the project performance of

People › Planet › Performance› HEALTH & AGED CARE Construction of health & aged care projects is invariably complex, with unique expertise required to ensure functional and operational needs are met. With increased emphasis on sustainability as well as typical requirements like durability, patient experience, access, staff and patient flows, infection control and management of clinical waste, the planning phase alone can present unique challenges. When construction begins, Kingston collaborates with hospital staff to devise work plans to ensure that a high standard of patient care can continue without interruption. Our specialist expertise gives us the capability to create the very best healthcare facilities for patients, staff and visitors alike. At Kingston we work with our clients with sensitivity and flexibility. A number of our project managers have extensive experience in both health care and aged care, as you will see from their impressive staff profile. When construction begins, Kingston collaborates with hospital staff… to design workflow to ensure that a high standard of patient care can continue without interruption. 14 Kingston › Capabilities Statement

People › Planet › Performance› INDUSTRIAL Delivering industrial and infrastructure projects across the region is a cornerstone of our business. At Kingston we understand that industrial projects should revolve around the processes associated with the client’s production requirements and outputs rather than being merely about constructing a building. We therefore focus on developing an intimate understanding of our client’s (and other stakeholders) needs and incorporate these into the design and construction of the complex plant, processes and working environments required to maximise our client’s productivity and outputs. Kingston is experienced in the delivery of Waste Transfer Stations, Processing Plants, Mining Infrastructure, Coal Terminals, Defence and Highway Infrastructure projects. “I would like to thank the entire Kingston team for presenting the Awaba Compost Facility Project in such a professional manner… allowing us to engage with our stakeholders and present the project throughout the construction process. The Kingston team maintain the site in an excellent condition, making the project very presentable. The high level of quality work which Kingston has undertaken is clearly visible. Kingston is doing a great job.” Gunther Neumann REMONDIS 16 Kingston › Capabilities Statement

With attention to detail being an essential requirement of the restoration process, Kingston’s experienced project teams spend the time and effort required to ensure our works seamlessly integrate with the fabric of the building. We engage experienced specialists to ensure that restoration works are sympathetic to, and enhance the value of heritage buildings. Careful selection of compatible materials and skilled craftsmen is imperative to successfully restoring these magnificent buildings.
