Industrial Quest


De Luca was engaged by Sword Holdings and Industrial Quest to complete a 13 lot subdivision of a 24Ha industrial parcel at Narangba in parallel with the construction of a Bunnings Trade Centre within the estate.

The vastness of the site provided the first challenge, requiring coordination of the preliminary subdivision works so that the first building could be built, whilst the remainder of the subdivision works were being completed.

Staging of the works was critical to ensure that the new construction works were not inhibited by the surrounding subdivision works. Sensitivity surrounding environmental conditions also had to be managed along the green belt area and local fauna including the protection of an Acid Frog colony.

Significant external road works were also completed as part of the project including the construction of a new roundabout, slip lane and surrounding footpaths.

At De Luca, we are committed to going the extra mile to deliver for our partners, clients and end users, we have significant property and construction expertise ranging from site acquisition, leasing, and pre commitment through to space planning, design, project management, construction and delivery.

When SGI Australia were in need of a new Queensland Facility on the Southside of Brisbane, a site that was acquired and subdivided by De Luca into a titled estate seemed to be the perfect fit. We were able to provide SGI Australia with a turn-key facility and a seamless transition from their previous premises.

The facility holds an auditorium which seats over 300 people. The dual purpose auditorium and Prayer room includes a state of the art acoustics solution which is able to dilute traffic and external noise from the adjacent 4-lane motorway and allow the room to be used as a silent prayer room. The internal acoustic system also prevents sound from transmitting in either direction from communal corridors and gathering areas to and from the auditorium and prayer room and other acoustically isolated meeting rooms.

The Da Vinci Business Park is a 52 week design and construct project consisting of 12 office/warehouse buildings positioned in Brisbane Airport. The Main Office, a 3 storey commercial office building, has achieved a 4 star Green Star rating from the Green Building Council of Australia for its sustainable and environmentally sound design.

Features include Green Star energy saving features and a building management control system. Quality air conditioning systems were installed to ensure consistent humidity and temperature settings during operation, allowing greater control over environmental settings and ultimately reducing energy consumption. In comparison, cheaper air-conditioning systems use more energy to achieve the same results.

The building also features strong, high performance, double glazed windows with well designed sealed facades to provide good insulation. While an investment, the windows provide a higher UV rating than traditional windows to keep the building naturally cool – placing less strain on air-conditioning systems to condition air environments. As an additional bonus, the glazed windows reduce outside noise, an important feature for a business park adjacent to the busy Brisbane Airport.

Water efficient tapware and fixtures were used throughout the kitchens and bathrooms, while the rainwater tank is used to flush toilets and irrigate gardens throughout the Da Vinci Business Park complex. In addition, the roof lets in natural light via transparent lighting strips, along with grilles and ducts installed throughout the warehouses for ventilation.

The project was delivered on time and to budget as per the clients expectations, achieving a 4 star Green Rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.

Bunnings Group Ltd


De Luca has worked with Bunnings Group Limited over a number of years, building nineteen of their stores across Queensland and Northern NSW. The stores vary in size and value ranging from $2M to $25M, including Queensland’s largest store at North Lakes.

A number of Bunnings projects involve substantial peripheral works as they are generally located in large, undeveloped commercial areas.

Working in conjunction with Bunnings Group Limited, our teams undertake a thorough analysis before and after the completion of stores to highlight design inefficiencies, ultimately reducing the programme time frames to allow Bunnings to trade sooner. The expedited delivery of Bunnings Group stores is pivotal, and as such we have refined the build to just 20 weeks.

Bunnings have very strict requirements for the racking systems within their stores. Our teams address and incorporate these requirements into the design and construction of each store to ensure efficient use of warehousing space.
