BMD Urban successfully deliver another stage in the Brentwood Forest Estate

BMD Urban has delivered Brentwood Forest Estate Stages 29-32, a 102 lot subdivision for client, Avid Property Group. The major residential subdivision, Brentwood Forest Estate is located in Bellbird Park, only 40 minutes from the Brisbane CBD. The $4.9 million project forms part of the $46 million package of work that BMD has completed in the estate since they began working there in 2014. To date, BMD has delivered stages seven, and 18 to 32 of the master planned estate, totalling 533 lots including one major road upgrade.

BMD Urban’s scope of works for stages 29-32 involved 4700² metres of 50 millimetre and 25 millimetre asphalt road surfacing, 3800² metres of concrete sleeper retaining walls, 655 metres of stormwater reticulation including a 1300² metre bio retaining wall, 100 metres of Polyethylene sewer reticulation and 1.1 kilometres of Polyethylene water reticulation.

By investing in a collaborative approach with the client from the early stages of the project, the team identified key challenges and generated risk management strategies to overcome erosion and sediment control in steep terrain, and the presence of existing services including an oil pipeline. They also successfully constructed a large bio filtration basin with limited access.

The project team focused on enhancing the client’s return on investment, reaching project completion ahead of schedule, 21,590 hours lost time injury free. The project team was also awarded the Golden Digger Award, a quarterly award presented to a South East Queensland BMD Urban team in recognition of exceptional safety performance. This internal initiative encourages friendly competition while maintaining our commitment to Zero Harm.
