Through the high-quality projects we’ve delivered Australia-wide we have become known for our effective approach to delivering projects – never compromising on safety, relentless attention to detail and quality, industry-leading customer service, and staying ‘invisible’ in operational environments.

Our team is proud to have the capabilities, experience and relationships to deliver complicated, ambitious, important builds, especially those requiring well-planned and sensitive approaches to working in live environments and compliance with security requirements. Not only are we experienced on a national level, but through our capital city and key regional branches, we share a wealth of knowledge, resources and specialists across Australia.

Our innovative and bespoke modular solutions provide the benefits of off-site construction, including faster schedules, improved safety, minimal on-site disruption, and more sustainable construction. When working in occupied live environments, such as hospitals, schools and sports facilities, our reputation for delivering fast-paced, high-quality, technically challenging construction projects becomes invaluable.

With multiple manufacturing facilities across Australia, we offer nationwide transportation and installation services, supported by our local construction services teams who provide project management services locally.

Our team delivers high-quality and cost-effective outcomes for clients requiring facade upgrade and compliance-driven replacement projects. We have extensive experience in high-risk works, as well as upgrades to occupied buildings, and understand the importance of minimising disruption to tenants and operations. We work collaboratively with consultants and subcontracts as required and strive to keep our clients informed of the latest developments within government and industry. Our innovative processes and programs not only provide clients with a visual representation of the progress of works, but are essential for the mandatory tracking and recording of panel replacement.

Sectors

We built our business on Australia-wide office fitouts and refurbishments, and it’s still a large part of what we do today. With much of our lives spent at work, we know how important it is to create environments that inspire and improve the experience of every employee.

The way we work is constantly evolving, and so too is the workplace itself. Having a trusted partner with vast experience in the sector gives our clients the peace of mind that their spaces are looked after throughout their lease. From building company headquarters and agile offices, to minor alterations, or base building upgrades, our many repeat clients are a testament to our reputation of delivering exceptional working spaces.

We have significant experience in delivering complex Defence work and understand the unique and strict requirements that come with sensitive and confidential aspects of these projects. From active security clearances and tailored protocols to Defence specific management plans and programs, we are well equipped to deliver a wide range of projects.

Our experience includes the successful delivery of office fitouts, base building upgrades, building services installation, commissioning, and beyond.

From new builds in high-security clearance contexts, to understanding the need for transparency and confidentiality, and meeting supplier social targets, we have delivered significant works for State and Federal government agencies and services. We have expertise in value engineering and providing budget certainty, which is crucial on publicly funded projects. We’re proud to be contributing to projects with long-term government vision that support communities and the delivery of services that make the lives of Australians better.

We work with leading universities and schools around the country to deliver inspiring spaces that offer world-class education and attract the best students and staff. With considerable experience across a wide range of specialised spaces including laboratories, libraries, auditoriums and sports facilities, we know how important it is to minimise disruption and prioritise safety while working around teaching schedules and academic calendars.

Whether it is a 24-hour operational facility, sterile lab, specialist equipment, or a new extension, our expert teams recognise the unique demands of healthcare projects. Our main focus is always on the safety of patients and medical staff.

Working within sensitive clinical environments also means implementing strict methodologies that address technically complex services requirements, dust mitigation strategies and stringent quality and sustainability standards. Our modular capabilities allow us to build offsite where possible and install quietly at a time carefully selected to minimise disturbance to patients and staff.
