The Horton Apartments in Maroochydore offer a mix of residential and tourist accommodation and exist only minutes away from a diverse selection of retail and fine-dining options. Given the location of this building, having a well-maintained appearance goes a long way to entice holiday goers. To maintain the look of this structure, the presiding strata company, Whittles, engaged Higgins to perform a significant external repaint of 140 apartments.
Higgins was selected over competitors due to our nuanced project plan that we presented to the strata committee prior to commencing. This included a range of preventative measures to stop any contaminants reaching the nearby waterway.
The project spanned for four months, with an operations team that fluctuated in size, with anywhere between 8-12 of our tradespersons on-site at any time. A key challenge throughout this project was the need to mitigate risk and minimise disruption to a high volume of pedestrians. However, our consistent and concise communication enabled us to overcome this challenge.
We applied a colour change to ensure that the building's appearance would not degrade back to its previous state. The finish has brought compliments from residents, who have noted that the building has a new lease of life
