Export the "W. <Project>" wordmark from Adobe Illustrator as a transparent PNG, trim the alpha padding, and save it to assets/logo/logo.png (or point PROJECT.logo at it). It then appears in the header of every page, the passcode gate and the closing. This is the one asset you must provide.
Drop the site plan / hero render at assets/hero/hero.jpg (or set PROJECT.hero). ~1600px wide. It renders above and this note disappears.

Case Studies.
1. Photos: drop image sets into assets/ named cs1-1.jpg, cs1-2.jpg … (one prefix per study).
2. Markup: copy the .proj block from the comment below for each study: set the title, point the <img> sources at your files, and write the narrative in .proj-copy.
Missing photos self-hide, so a half-built carousel still looks clean. Delete this note when your studies are in.
W.Mermaid - Local Completed Work of Same Value Case Study
A stunning north-facing waterfront home on the Gold Coast, completed two months ahead of program with a subcontractor base we assembled from scratch in another state.
W.Hedges - Gold Coast Shaun Lockyer Architect Live Project Case Study
Another Shaun Lockyer Architects project in the region, under construction on Mermaid Beach today: a striking three-level home with a double-storey basement and a similar off-form concrete finish to 543 The Panorama. We are familiar with SLA's details and finishes, and we are building them right now.
W.Alpine - Off Grid Regional Project Case Study
Set amongst the wild beauty of the Victorian Alps: a remote, steeply sloping site at the end of a 25 km track, in the highest-rated bushfire zone. The land led every decision: a structure settled gently into the fall of the country among the native trees, detailed and built to the standard the bushfire rating demands. The majority of contractors were local trades we worked with for the first time; where the regional market could not service a need, we brought specialists in from Melbourne.

One Promise. True Alignment.
Our interests and our client's interests are aligned across every dimension of the project.
Together We Reclaim Time.
Every build is programmed to the day against a live schedule our clients can see. Our fee is fixed. We have no incentive to extend and every reason to deliver early.
Together We Protect Cost.
Every cost is competitively tendered, benchmarked against market, and filtered through a trained financial model fine-tuned on a decade of commercial data. Our fee is fixed against a defined scope. Every dollar saved on trades protects the client's cost and our margin.
Together We Perfect Quality.
Defect-free at handover. No leaks. No unfinished work. Every stage inspected and documented against a quality system defined by national exposure and supported by the most cutting edge construction technology stack available. Our reputation is our pipeline.
Together We Elevate the Experience.
Live site cameras streaming to your device, a private daily feed of progress and milestones, one dedicated app for all communication, documents, data, and your W. team. A build with no blind spots is a build with fewer queries to answer. Transparency serves both sides.
W. Portfolio.
Beyond the case studies: more of the homes we've delivered, and the live projects under construction today.
The portfolio is a reusable set of W. projects, curated per EOI. Photos come from the W. media library / w.build/in-practice (see the wbuild-asset-sourcing skill); drop selects into assets/ named pf-<slug>-1.jpg, pf-<slug>-2.jpg ….

The Technology Stack.
W.App
Everything on a W. project runs through W.App: workflows and approvals, documents, live site cameras, the 3D model, project intelligence and every conversation with your W. team, in your pocket, every day.
Starlink-connected site cameras give our clients full 24/7 transparency, with no blind spots, beside a private social feed exclusive to the client and the project management team. Every W. site runs the same stack:
