Northwest Health are a multi-national REIT that delivers a range of health facilities in Australia and the world. This project includes the design and construction of a new greenfield 8-storey multi-tenant medical facility with direct link access to the existing Gold Coast Private Hospital comprising circa 12,000m2 lease area.

Johnstaff has been engaged for full Project Management and Superintendent Services from Feasibility to operational commencement. The first phase was design development from schematic stage through to authority lodgement and approval. Phase 2 was contractor engagement with initial intention of undertaking and ECI Process. This developed into a two-builder tender and subsequently early works package engaged under a letter of intent. Johnstaff were involved in significant contract negotiations and contract set up. Following engagement of the builder Johnstaff supported design development, managed the contractor through the construction phase, and ultimately into the operational phase. Johnstaff has also been heavily involved in tenant design discussions.

Contractual negotiations were influenced by the timing of development approval, which had not yet been secured prior to contract signing. Johnstaff played a key role in progressing the development approval through close collaboration and detailed negotiations with the client, contractor and consultants. Through strong record keeping, organisation and coordination, the team enabled contract execution to move forward while the approval process continued.

Additionally, there was a need to strengthen contract administration processes throughout delivery. Johnstaff provided rigorous oversight of site works and contractor obligations, ensuring clear communication and transparency so the client remained well informed at all stages.
