“For many years we have worked in regional areas on a number of council and cultural buildings, as well as with multiple schools and aged care providers in Brisbane and Sydney.”
“And in keeping with our espoused values, we also strive to take an active role in the local community – from supporting worthwhile fundraising initiatives like Movember and CEO Sleepout, to taking on the role of founding sponsor of Wesley Mission Queensland’s Art from the Margins program.”
Current projects include the Satellite Hospital Program for Queensland Health, the Glenn Innes Hospital redevelopment for Health Infrastructure NSW, significant developments at North Sydney Public School and Pendle Hill High School, as well as numerous other public, Catholic and independent school projects across both NSW & Queensland.
“Some of them have older campuses which need rejuvenating, others are in their infancy and looking to put together masterplans which will allow them to be developed in stages as the school grows,” Scott explains.
“The majority of our education sector clients are long-term ones – we’ve been working them with over a number of years, which allows us to expand their facilities over time in keeping with changing educational needs and the evolving demographics of the communities they serve.”
Fulton Trotter employs between 37 people in Brisbane and another 14 in Sydney, with a total of 29 Archicad licenses for the business. As a longtime proponent of Archicad and advocate of BIM, the firm was also an early adopter of Central Innovation’s Doors+Windows Ci Tool – a seamless Archicad plug-in that gives you access to a greater variety of door and window styles with a wide range of panels, opening methods, trims and sills.
“I’ve been working at Fulton Trotter for 12 years, and the firm has been using Archicad for at almost 20 years,” Scott affirms. “Over that time we’ve invested quite heavily in BIM documentation methodology which has greatly improved our system efficiencies. We’ve been using Ci Tools Doors+Windows for as long as I’ve been here – it’s a seamless solution that provides an extra level of flexibility and customisation to our doors and windows, over and above the standard configurations offered in Archicad.”
Developed in-house by architects for architects at Central Innovation, Ci Tools Doors+Windows includes the functionality to automatically produce fully dimensioned graphical schedules using a range of filters and criteria, the ability to add notes and automatically calculated areas, and the powerful Ci Presets system which facilitates sharing across multiple projects.
