Light Brigade Hotel – Hospitality Restoration Case Study

Type: Remedial and renovation

Address: Oxford St &, Jersey Rd, Woollahra NSW 2025

Located in the heart of Paddington, the Light Brigade Hotel is a well-loved Sydney landmark. Projex Pro was engaged to carry out a full hospitality restoration — combining precision workmanship with a deep respect for the building’s original character. This project showcases our ability to deliver high-quality remedial work in a live venue with minimal disruption.

Scope of work

Projex Pro was engaged to resolve severe water ingress and structural issues while undertaking a large-scale rooftop renovationat The Light Brigade Hotel—an iconic, multi-level hospitality venue. The project presented a range of complex challenges, including extensive water damage, sagging ceilings, compromised waterproofing, and water ingress into the commercial kitchen. These issues required a comprehensive, coordinated response combining remedial expertise with high-end renovation works.
