Our Approach

Commitment to HSEQ

Our commitment to safety, the environment and quality is a shared responsibility by everyone in the business. This culture is reinforced with our subcontractors and suppliers. We adopt robust audit and reporting regimes to verify the effectiveness of our systems and identify and mitigate potential risks.

Engaging stakeholders

We regularly deliver projects in operational environments and are adept at proactively engaging with clients and stakeholders to build strong, positive relationships and minimise the impacts of construction. Our success is demonstrated by the number of clients who engage our services for subsequent projects.

Ethical Procurement

We commit to meeting the requirements of Australia's Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) and actively identify and assess modern slavery risks in our supply chain. In procuring supplies and services, we strive to use WA suppliers as a first choice before considering national and international options

Key Relationships

Key to our success is the relationships we build with our subcontractors and suppliers. We are known in the industry for paying our subcontractors on time or early. Not only is this good business practice, it supports the long-term sustainability of the building industry.
