Break Up Day Celebrations

On Friday 21 December 2018, Hutchies Toowong celebrated the end of year with our annual Christmas Break Up Party.

After an early finish from work, lunch and drinks were served outside and everyone later moved into the boardroom for the 2018 announcements and award recipients. 

Once it hit 3.30pm, everyone lined up for the buses and headed off to Triffid for the after party!

We hope everyone had a great time and we wish you well going into 2019. 

​Knocking off work early to get into some delicious food, refreshing drinks and crazy cricket in the hallway!

We're known to go above & beyond when it comes to our merch offerings so now Hutchies has its very own edition of Monopoly - the latest thing to be Hutchified!
The game is available to view at Toowong Reception and sets were sent to all offices to display in their Reception areas.

Special thanks to Ben from Vmation for his effort in creating this masterpiece. 

Please send all enquiries relating to Hutchopoly to Company Services: cs@hutchinsonbuilders.com.au

SUGGESTION OF THE YEAR

Ben Clarke and Harleigh Venables were crowned the winners of the 2018 Suggestion of the Year for their awesome idea of converting our email addresses to @hutchies.com.au. They both received a Hutchopoly set for their efforts.

Dave Warner also came up with this idea but unfortunately he was a bit late off the mark. Better luck next time Dave. 

​Harleigh happy to be receiving his Hutchopoly set.

9 April / Quality Alert

Engineered stone ban effective 1 July 2024

ALL engineered stone, regardless of the silica content percentage, is banned.


Alternative products must be considered and implemented on all projects.

In October last year Hutchies noted that the industry was shifting away from engineered stone due to the risks of respirable crystalline silica, which can cause silicosis and other silica related diseases.

On this basis, Hutchies proactively took a position to ban all engineered stone on our projects, regardless of silica content percentages, from 1 July 2024.

In December last year, we then had confirmation that following an Industrial Relations Ministers meeting, State and Commonwealth Leaders had agreed to ban engineered stone products.

Some at Hutchies have noted that the State and Federal communications concerning the ban have included transition periods as well as exemptions for some engineered stone with low (under 1%) silica content.

For clarity, there has been no change to Hutchies' position following these communications – Hutchies will not be using engineered stone that contains any percentage of silica on our projects from 1 July 2024.

Actions

To mitigate the impact of potential delays and variations, the best approach is to inform clients of the pending ban and to propose and seek approval for an alternative product.

Similarly, ensure all future estimates have the stone specification qualified and priced accordingly.

Refer to Hutchies' Stone Product & Suitability for Use List on the Document Library.
