Grocon PCL helps deliver A$1 billion Cancer Centre on time and budget with Aconex
The A$1 billion Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre is a purpose-built centre-of-excellence for cancer research, treatment, education and care located in the prestigious Melbourne Biomedical Precinct. Delivered under a public-private partnership, the Victorian Government contracted the Plenary Health consortium – comprising Plenary Group, the Grocon PCL builder joint venture and Honeywell – to design, build, finance and maintain the project for 25 years.
“Aconex supported the stringent documentation requirements for this complex project.”
