2. Recently Completed Projects

Higgins Coatings offer a wealth of experience and knowledge developed over 67 years of servicing our extensive client base.

Allegro Apartments - Burswood

Having completed painting works at Allegro Apartments in Burswood, the Building

Managers were impressed with the high standard and timely results, so it was no

surprise that we were awarded the contract to complete the repainting of the

second tower Axis, Commencing in September 2016.

Provision of a 10 year material warranty delivers additional peace of mind to the

owners.

Once again, our experience and project methodology that provided access from

the Swing Stage to the Balconies, ensured we were able to complete this work with

minimal disruption to residents and owners.

Westralian Apartments - Terrace Road East Perth

The Council of Owners of Westralian Apartments engaged Higgins Coatings to

complete the External Repaint of the entire building during 2015/2016.

A testimonial form the Building Manager stated:

“From the moment I met the Higgins crew at the tender process, they stood out from

the competitors in the way they presented themselves, the service and product that

was being offered to us. This is why the decision to award the job to Higgins was an

easy one keeping in mind other tenders were cheaper.”

Our multiple resources, professionalism and “whatever it takes” attitude ensured that

we were able to successfully complete the job to the high standard expected by the

owners, whilst providing timely solutions to the difficult access conditions. And now

the property is once again looking its best.

Southbank Apartments

This project in South Perth also saw our team nominated in the Master Painters

Awards for Excellence. Difficulty of access was overcome using a combination of

boom, scaffold and rope access and the project achieved a CSR score of 90. The

team showed good communication with the customer who had the following

comments to share.

"This work has been completed on schedule and with minimum fuss to

owners/residents of the apartments. They have been most helpful in providing

guidance also."

3. Testimonials

Portsea Village Grange

“We employed Higgins to complete a major refurbishment of our property in Portsea; including replacement of

roof, drainage systems, lighting and several door and windows as well as a complete repaint. The attention to

detail and follow up weekly meetings with the Project Manager meant that this proceeded successfully and with

a minimum of inconvenience during the 6-month period that this involved. We can recommend working with

Higgins Coatings for a successful project.” Irene Osborne, General Manager, Portsea Village Resort

14 Fraser Rd, Normanhurst

“The quality of information provided in your submission gave the owners a great deal of confidence that Higgins

could complete the works to a high standard in a safe manner, and on time. With high confidence comes an

equal level of expectation and Higgins delivered on the standard that was promised.” Brett Rayner, Strata

Manager, Bright & Duggan

Pacific Views Resort

“The Body Corporate Committee selected Higgins over their competitors for a number of reasons including

competitive pricing, clear and accurate quotation and most importantly clear and regular communication.

Higgins showed and then proved their ongoing dedication to OHS practices ensuring all access and exclusion

zones were adhered. We consider the work conducted by Higgins Coatings to be of a high standard and would

have no hesitation in contracting them again for future projects.” David McMinn, Building Manager

Water’s Edge on the Broadwater

“The personnel selected by Higgins Coatings to repaint our 2 towered, 57 apartment complex, were professional,

considerate of the residents at all times and were a pleasure to work with during the 12 weeks they were

engaged at our complex. The positive feedback from residents at the completion of the work is a reflection on

the way Higgins Coatings worked with us to ensure a good result for each and every resident. If you are

considering using Higgins Coatings, then I am only too happy to discuss the end results of their work and answer

any questions you may have about our experiences.” Brad Marquart, Building manager, Waters Edge on the

Broadwater

The Sebel Maroochydore

“Nothing ever seemed to be an issue or too much, in fact it was quite the opposite whereby you went over and

above what we had anticipated, a real credit to the team at Higgins. You certainly have completed a wonderful

job, thank you, and I would have no hesitation in recommending your services in the future.” Michael Eibrink

Jansen, Property Manager, The Sebel Maroochydore
