Exchange is Curtin University’s first dedicated industry-connected innovation precinct, bringing together education, industry, and community through student accommodation, retail, hospitality, and commercial spaces.

What Probuild told us they wanted.


A single-source, value-driven FF&E partner capable of delivering more than 15,000 items across multiple building types, including two student halls with 750 beds, 40 apartments, and 60 hotel rooms. The project required coordinated programming, large-volume procurement, storage, and seamless installation.

 

How we acted on what we heard.

Castledex was appointed by Probuild to deliver a $2M+ turn-key FF&E solution. We managed every step from extensive sample reviews and logistics planning to just-in-time delivery, installation, and commissioning, while navigating complex supply chains during the pandemic.

We invested in over 1,200m² of additional local storage and engaged multiple teams to ensure timely delivery across the 57,400m² project.

Items supplied included:

  • Beds and mattresses, dining tables and chairs, lounges, and task seating
  • Room accessories such as lamps, caddies, safes, and whiteboards
  • Outdoor furniture, shelving, rugs, and loose joinery including TV units and credenzas

Inspired results

Castledex successfully delivered:

  • More than 15,000 FF&E items across accommodation, hotel, and serviced apartment zones
  • A full-spectrum turn-key service from procurement to commissioning
  • On-time, on-budget execution despite global logistics challenges

Curtin Exchange is a benchmark for student-focused, mixed-use precincts. Castledex’s integrated approach helped bring this urban design award-winning vision to life.
