Burke & Wills Hotel

Kehoe Myers was involved in the civil and structural work for the building.

The hotel comprises 82 guest rooms, 2 restaurants, a bar and 5 modern function rooms of varying sizes. 

Our work included: 

• Analysing the building to ensure previous modifications did not impact the structural nature of the work being completed. 
• 
  Design of the new roofs required as the internal ceilings were being raised in the function rooms. 
• 
  Our team also needed to ensure the weight of the new glass panel façade would not cause issues into the future.
• 
  Accommodating unexpected changes to the design when issues arose on site. This included changing the footing design of the Gaming Room due to the geotechnical instability. 

The Burke and Wills Hotel is the premium hotel and function venue in Toowoomba, and we are proud to have worked on a building of significant historical value, which will bring such an economic benefit to Toowoomba.
