WHO WE ARE
We have been operating here since 1990 and have established a broad network of fruitful working relationships with local authorities, consulting engineers, surveyors, builders, tradesmen and suppliers- in fact, the full team necessary to execute any kind of building project.
We hold all appropriate licences and insurances and are prequalified to Level 3 with the Queensland State Government. This means that we can, and do, undertake projects worth a few thousand dollars up to projects worth millions of dollars.
