Georgiou preferred contractor for hospital redevelopment

Osborne Park-based construction company Georgiou Group has been named the preferred contractor for the first stage of the $300 million redevelopment of St John of God Health Care’s Subiaco Hospital.

Georgiou has been tasked with the refurbishment of the kitchen and Sterilising Services Department, along with the installation of a lift in the hospital’s central courtyard.

Work on the project has already commenced, with 100 jobs set to be created during the peak construction period.

Construction on the project is expected to be completed by May 2023.

The contract adds to Georgiou’s expanding health portfolio, with the company having recently delivered projects at Hollywood Hospital South Block, consulting centre projects for Ramsay Health Care and upgrades at Fremantle Hospital.

Georgiou Building general manager Steve Okill said the company was thrilled to be named the preferred contractor on the project, which he said provided the opportunity for the company to strengthen its position in the health sector in WA.

The news follows the delivery of a strong year for the group, which posted a $28 million lift in its earnings last financial year, taking the amount of work in hand to $1.3 billion.
