In the years from 2011 to 2016, the Toowong office undertook a name change to Brisbane West in order to facilitate further growth. This involved moving to a stand alone 500m2+ office and purchasing the Property Management businesses of three succesful companies, along with acquiring ownership of a Project Marketing business initially in partnership and in 2016 assuming full ownership.

During that ownership many of their employees have been awarded State, National and International awards.
