Project Overview
The Queen’s Wharf Brisbane Integrated Resort Development stands as a $3.6 billion landmark reshaping the city’s skyline. Grace Workplace Solutions played a pivotal role in delivering the largest Furniture, Fittings & Equipment (FF&E) project in the company’s history. Over a span of two years, our team managed the end-to-end process of securing, tracking, delivering, and installing approximately 20,000 individual items, amounting to over 13,000m³ of FF&E.
Our contributions included the provision and installation of luxury furnishings for accommodation rooms, gaming tables, poker machines, and various amenities across staff and common areas. The project demanded meticulous coordination and execution to ensure every item was seamlessly integrated into the development’s grand vision.
