The Queenslander
We remember rambling houses whimsically perched high above the ground and graced with wide, welcoming verandas. French doors and windows are flung open to catch the lazy, summer breeze. The peaked, iron roof is shaded by a mango tree and surrounded by the fragrance of Frangipani.
Concrete
In a world where the ground can spontaneously and violently shake, the wind can gust at hundreds of kilometres an hour, and waves can crash over the land with the power to destroy everything in their path, concrete can make the construction – and endurance – of record breaking skyscrapers, bridges, towers and statues possible.
Johnstaff Projects
Phil had “had enough of corporate life” after working for major national companies; David Wagstaff had his own practice; the pair jumped into their own business together. That may suggest they had a readymade portfolio of clients to work for, but Phil says this was not the case. Instead, the business had to be built up slowly and painstakingly.
Thiess
Located near Wonthaggi, on the Bass Coast south-east of Melbourne, the A$3.5 billion mega project is the product of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) between the Victorian Government and AquaSure. The Thiess Degrémont Joint Venture (TDJV) was contracted to design, construct and commission the project.
Victoria’s Department of Planning and Community Development
First, says Minister Guy, it is important to note the change in emphasis in the way the Victorian government considers planning in the state. “The key point is that the government now sees the planning portfolio more as an economic one rather than simply a social portfolio,” he explains. This swing has prompted initiatives such as planning zone reform, a new urban renewal authority and an investigation into how to manage population growth in the coming decades.
Precise Builders
It’s also a story about some younger-generation guys who believe in bringing a greater degree of commercial awareness, modern business practices and above all, customer handling and customer satisfaction to their building activities.
Beech Constructions
The company has been a successful family-run operation in Queensland with a stellar reputation for delivery quality projects since 1958, when it began offering its construction services as well as Beech wood-fired pizza ovens. The company decided to sell its successful wood-fired division eight months ago and it still operates under the name Beech Ovens through new owners.
Varcon Constructions
Michael is the head of Varcon Constructions, a prominent builder of residential and commercial property based in Melbourne’s western suburbs. “We can’t complain,” he says. “We could always be doing better, but I believe we are well established and we always have work ahead of us to keep it all churning over.”
Stellar Constructions
For Victoria based construction management company Stellar Constructions, style is just one of the many areas in which the company has always excelled.
Momentum Built
Since 2009, the company has continually expanded, and has grown from two employees and an annual turnover of around three million dollars to ten employees today, with an annual income of almost seven million dollars.
