A Striking Piece Of Commercial Design

A building to be proud of is a building built by Lowcock Builders.

Nolan’s Interstate Transport experienced this firsthand this year when their cutting-edge commercial/industrial building. The outstanding Nolan’s Interstate Transport Warehouse new Bowen facility was awarded multiple prestigious Master Builders Awards becoming a national finalist.

This journey to significant acclaim began at the Master Builders Mackay & Whitsundays Regional Housing & Construction Awards 2024 where Nolan’s Interstate Transport New Transport Warehouse Bowen was awarded Commercial/Industrial Building up to $5M.

From here, the building advanced to state level where it was the Queensland winner for Commercial/Industrial Building up to $5M, advancing once again to the national awards where it became a finalist.

This striking building, which sits adjacent to Lowcock Builders’ own new office space on the Bruce Highway in Bowen, is a flagship example of what this locally owned construction company can achieve.

The award-winning project features a 13,500m² concrete hardstand area, with dual entry and exit points and two internal floors. The first floor boasts four loading bays, three cold rooms, a large dry storage area, a manager’s office, a general office space, a data storage room, a reception area, a lunchroom, and amenities for male, female, and disabled unisex use.

The second floor includes four temporary accommodation rooms with ensuite bathrooms and a spacious BBQ veranda/deck area.

Andrew Tolputt, General Manager, Nolan’s Interstate Transport gave the following testimonial.

“The workmanship, ease of communication and suggestions put forward when Nolan’s was making variations made this project seamless from start to finish. Lowcock Builders also worked very closely with Refrigerated Technologies who were engaged to construct the cold-rooms and mechanical fit out along with the air conditioning for the building,” he said.

“The result was a cold store transport depot that Nolan’s is very proud of, the detail in the finished work and the look of the depot from the outside is very pleasing when driving by.”
