Linden Denholm

Regional Manager

Career

Linden started his career as a Building Cadet with the SHAPE Victoria team, while completing a Master of Construction Management and Bachelor of Environments. Following his cadetship, Linden held various roles within the Melbourne branch, including Estimating Coordinator, Project Coordinator, Project Engineer and Project Manager. During his career, Linden has developed an open and honest approach to all aspects of construction, with a focus on understanding a client’s key drivers and how to best exceed them. His experience delivering multi-million-dollar projects, commitment to sustainability and passion for building a constructive workplace makes him the ideal candidate to head up SHAPE Newcastle and shape the city he loves.

Life

A Novocastrian, Linden grew up five minutes from the beach and loved every minute of it – despite the fact he still can’t surf. While living in Melbourne, he fell in love with AFL and is now a die-hard Geelong fan.

Capabilities

We’ve been a leading Australian fitout and refurbishment provider for more than 30 years. Whether it is delivering a high-end office fitout or a boutique hotel we have the experience and specific know-how to manage our clients’ unique expectations. Through the high-quality projects we’ve delivered Australia-wide we have become known for our effective approach to delivering projects – never compromising on safety, relentless attention to detail and quality, industry-leading customer service, and staying ‘invisible’ in operational environments.

Our team is proud to have the capabilities, experience and relationships to deliver complicated, ambitious, important builds, especially those requiring well-planned and sensitive approaches to working in live environments and compliance with security requirements. Not only are we experienced on a national level, but through our 9 metropolitan and regional branches, we share a wealth of knowledge, resources and specialists across Australia.

Our team delivers high-quality and cost-effective outcomes for clients requiring facade upgrade and compliance-driven replacement projects. We have extensive experience in high-risk works, as well as upgrades to occupied buildings, and understand the importance of minimising disruption to tenants and operations. We work collaboratively with consultants and subcontracts as required and strive to keep our clients informed of the latest developments within government and industry. Our innovative processes and programs not only provide clients with a visual representation of the progress of works, but are essential for the mandatory tracking and recording of panel replacement.

Our innovative and bespoke modular solutions provide the benefits of off-site construction, including faster schedules, improved safety, minimal on-site disruption, and more sustainable construction. When working in occupied live environments, such as hospitals, schools and sports facilities, our reputation for delivering fast-paced, high-quality, technically challenging construction projects becomes invaluable.

With multiple manufacturing facilities across Australia, we offer nationwide transportation and installation services, supported by our local construction services teams who provide project management services locally.

We have significant experience in delivering complex Defence work and understand the unique and strict requirements that come with sensitive and confidential aspects of these projects. To ensure seamless delivery, all personnel are security cleared prior to project start and our National Defence Manager directly oversees all builds. We have completed $10m worth of works within the local Defence sector for clients including Williamtown RAAF, Boeing, and repeat client, the Department of Defence. Our local team is currently invested in the Special Aviation Precinct on the Williamtown RAAF base.

We are a specialist in education fitout and refurbishment, as well as agile new build education facilities, and have delivered works for clients including repeat client the University of Newcastle. With considerable experience across a wide range of specialised spaces, we know how important it is to minimise disruption and prioritise safety while working around teaching schedules and academic calendars. Our team has a passion for education and fostering industry partnerships with educational cohorts, including direct involvement in University workshops, presentations, and industry events. We also partner with local educational institutions through our intern and cadet initiatives to promote job opportunities for emerging talent.

We’ve been a leading Australian fitout and refurbishment provider for more than 30 years. With much of our lives spent at work, we know how important it is to create environments that inspire and improve the experience of every employee. We can accommodate commercial projects of any size due to our agile approach to builds and understand the fundamental drivers and relationships between landlords, asset managers, and tenants. Locally, our team is invested in the future of Newcastle to ensure the city is a hub of high-end, advanced technology services, and engineering. We are currently assisting with the revitalisation of the city’s niche east end commercial and mall spaces and building on the re-centralisation of the CBD to Newcastle’s west end.

Whether it is a 24-hour operational facility, sterile lab, specialist equipment, or a new extension, our expert teams recognise the unique demands of healthcare projects. Our main focus is always on the safety of patients and medical staff. Working within sensitive clinical environments also means implementing strict methodologies that address technically complex services requirements, dust mitigation strategies and stringent quality and sustainability standards. Our modular capabilities allow us to build offsite where possible and install quietly at a time carefully selected to minimise disturbance to patients and staff.
