CONSTRUCTION COMPLETE
What an incredible result we all witnessed at 30 Anstey Road, Forrestdale!
We at Harrper Projects are beyond proud to share that we achieved both obtaining building occupancy and conditional licensing approval within just a week of each other – yes, you read that right!
A massive thank you to IQ Construction and especially Harry, Isi and Beth of Everwood Early Education (“legends”), who put in an extraordinary effort to get this Early Education Centre completed and license-ready. Their work was nothing short of a military-level operation, executed to perfection.
Harrper Projects is thrilled to be an integral part of this achievement as development manager on behalf of our client Stone by Stone.
Seriously great work to everyone engaged on this project – I look forward to working with you all again soon!
Now, let’s get this centre filled with eager young minds and ready for 2025!

CONSTRUCTION STARTED – CHAMPIONS LAKES
Sometimes you just need to take a deep breath and review the project design during these cost crazy times.
Harrper Projects was engaged to value manage this 88-licensed early learning centre development in Champion Lakes. A significant redesign of the previously approved DA roof structure was identified that could produce cost savings (see comparison renders below).
Also, several external wall elements were workshopped with our D&C building contractor IQ Construction to achieve time and cost savings without compromising the integrity or aesthetic of the project.
An ECI contract was entered into while an amended Development Application was submitted and subsequently approved.
Footings, slabs, and drainage have been constructed & installed during the design and DA approval period with bricklaying commencing shortly. Project completion is scheduled for June 2025.
Great job team!
Childcare
