Go Bus Transport Redevelopment

Year of Completion: 2025

Construction Cost: $3,000,000 approx.

​

Brief description:

Flanders Marlow Limited provided project management and quantity surveying services for the staged redevelopment of the former Placemakers building into a modern transport depot for Go Bus Transport.

​

The first stage comprised the enabling works, followed by the redevelopment of the existing building into a fully operational bus workshop. Our role encompassed oversight of the enabling works, procurement and contract management, construction delivery, and final account resolution.

​

With a project budget of approximately $3 million, the works were delivered in phases to maintain the functionality of Go Bus operations throughout construction. Key challenges included managing a live site with operational buses, coordinating complex traffic management on a multi-lane arterial road, and addressing unforeseen inground and structural complexities.

​​​

Through regular stakeholder communication, flexible programming, and close collaboration with the territorial authority, the project team ensured health and safety, compliance, and continuity of operations were maintained throughout.

​​

Working closely with McAuliffe Stevens Architects and the consultant team, Flanders Marlow successfully guided the project from detailed design through to completion, transforming the existing commercial structure into a purpose-built, operational facility meeting all current compliance and performance requirements.
