Leading Tasmanian construction company Fairbrother has begun work to transform the Boags Brewery in Launceston into one of the city’s most significant landmark buildings. When complete, the Boags complex will be unique and is already being hailed as the most significant building project in Launceston for many years.

On Wednesday March 31 the project team of Pitt & Sherry, Jack Birrell Architects and Fairbrother unveiled computer-generated impressions of what the building will look like once complete. The impressions show a stunning architectural impression of what Fairbrother is endeavouring to bring to life.

Fairbrother Managing Director Craig Edmunds said the new bottle line hall is required to be completed internally by Wednesday 7 July in readiness for the arrival of the new bottling line equipment. The remainder of the facade and warehouse is due for completion at the end of September this year.

“It is a complex development but when complete locals and visitors alike will see the magnificent heritage of the area maintained and consistency brought to the entire brewery site and in line with surrounding buildings and streetscape” Mr Edmunds said.

The new bottling line will double Boags’ bottling capacity which is imperative to meet growing national demand for its premium brands.

This project is the latest in a program of Tasmanian works of major significance that have been won by Fairbrother.

These include:

	Risdon Prison in partnership with John Holland Pty Ltd - $58 million. The Risdon project is the largest State Government building contract let in the past 15 years.
	The Manor Aged Care Facility Additions at Kings Meadows for OneCare Ltd - $3 million.
	Tasmania Fire Service New Administration Building at Youngtown - $1 million.
	Devonport Shopping Centre Redevelopment - $7 million.
	15 Hunter Street Development in Hobart - $13 million.
	Freemasons Nursing Home Redevelopment - $7million.

Pitt and Sherry Project Superintendent Andrew Turner said Fairbrother was chosen for the Boags project because of its strong track record in meeting tight deadlines and producing quality work.
