Overview
As the sole contractor for 'Project One' by Coles, Higgins delivered a national modernisation program that enhanced 150 supermarkets.
'Project One' extended coast to coast, covering many regional and remote locations. From our offices in Victoria and Queensland, we managed an array of building scopes tailored to the different supermarket sites. These ranged from smaller upgrade works to major refurbishments, including new internal fitouts.
This roll out was a key moment in Higgins' history. In just three years, we expanded our retail portfolio by 500% and grew our network of subcontractors and suppliers extensively. We gained expertise that shaped the foundations of our approach to retail construction and remains part of our current practices.
Our execution of this contract highlights Higgins' capacity to:
- Quickly mobilise delivery teams from our offices to any location nationwide to meet short lead times
- Manage a high volume of projects concurrently, navigating varying requirements, scopes, budgets, site conditions, and stakeholder expectations
- Safely, efficiently and cost-effectively coordinate major upgrades and refurbishment works within operational supermarkets, allowing stores to remain trading
- Adapt swiftly to changing business operations, while prioritising customer safety and access
- Promote knowledge sharing between projects and team members, continuously refining processes and lessons learned to improve delivery procedures
