I had coffee with local businessmen owner and certifier, Greg Dempster, this last week and he told me he has a blog. Not your ordinary blog mind you. An informative web site all of its own with helpful articles from a building certifier’s perspective. It’s called The Oil Stone – and it’s provided to ‘help sharpen your knowledge’.
Greg owns and manages Development Certification. This Queensland certification company has over 15 years experience and has completed thousands of projects. With offices in Townsville, Bowen, Mackay and Brisbane, we’re proud to recommend Greg and his team for your next project. Check out the Development Certification website.
If a picture tells a thousand words, our construction photos tell even more. Watch some great Brisbane renovation projects being built and learn what goes into a building to make it strong.
Our photo of the week this week is Julian Kajewski on site in Banyo, Brisbane where a house extension is well underway by Ascot builder James Maguire Construction. Designed by clever building designer Roger Cook of Roger Cook Design, the double storey extension is ready for cladding and roof sheeting.
Matthew Cornell of Cornell Engineers Brisbane did the timber frame inspection this week – aided by Julian who is studying construction management in Brisbane.

The photo generated a flurry of likes and comments on Cornell Engineers FaceBook page. It reinforces Cornell Engineers’ philosophy that engineering isn’t about buildings – it’s about people working with people.
Matthew Cornell said,”Like our FaceBook page! We’re always updating the page with photos of our jobs under construction. It’s a great way to take the mystery out of the building process. Structural engineers needn’t be the only one that get to appreciate the beauty of the structure under the skin of houses.”
For many years Cornell Engineers was a proud supporter of CQ Rescue. RACQ CQ Rescue is a community helicopter rescue service with an operating base in Mackay.
Anyone who travels the highway north,south or west of Mackay knows the value CQ Rescue provides – a superfast trip to hospital with an intensive care paramedic the whole way should you need it.
It’s a great rescue service staffed by caring professionals. As a Community Helicopter Provider (CHP), RACQ CQ Rescue relies heavily upon the community to provide funding for operational purposes. These funds are sourced through sponsorships, business donations, workplace giving programs, annual appeals, bequests, and fundraising events.
Cornell Engineers urges you to join in support of this awesome service.
