Safety
It’s simple, safety first. Nothing happens unless we are 100% satisfied that all OH&S policies and procedures are understood and adhered to. Our staff and contractors are all D&A tested and undergo some of the most exhaustive medicals before projects begin. On each project we have multiple inducted personnel who take care during the building process to deliver a clean and pristine workplace environment.
Family
At the heart of it all is family. We celebrate successes, share our failures and motivate each other daily. We care about each other and look out for each other. It is this strong bond that keeps the team motivated and the main reason why we are constantly able to exceed expectations.
Communication
Talk to us anytime about any aspect of your project. We love the simplicity of direct straightforward communication. Open and regular communication leaves little room for conjecture or misunderstanding. We run a nation-wide server, where all documents are cloud-based, secure and accessible to clients.

Measurable objectives and targets are set regularly and achieved. Our highly engineered scheduling process ensures that no detail is forgotten. We’re big on investing resources into organising structures at the front end, so that roadblocks don’t happen during project implementation. This results in projects being delivered in a timely manner, such as our Newman Racebourse project (including installation, refurbishment and relocation) that was turned around in 6 short weeks.
Performance
