Construction has been Buildcorp’s core business since 1990, however the evolution of our family owned business has differentiated us beyond just what we do.
Our difference comes from who we are and what we stand for. How we treat our people, partners and community matters to each of us.
The collective, collaborative attitude of our people is Buildcorp’s real difference and our reward is three decades of success: passionate staff, loyal customers, industry leading systems, award winning projects, supportive suppliers and a reputation to be proud of.

Passion
We value PASSION.
Everything we do is possible because of our burning desire to find a better way, be different, make it happen and put the team first, and prove that we’re with you – it is our passion.
You can’t teach someone passion, and so we’ve spent a great deal of time finding people that are the right fit for the Buildcorp culture. Today we’re a workforce of over 570 people across the east coast of Australia and we’re pretty proud to say that our teams and their leaders are some of the most passionate people around, who are dedicated not only to their work but also to making a difference in our communities.
Social responsibility
We value SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Buildcorp has never shied away from its responsibility to be more than just a business, whether it’s through our charitable events, workplace giving schemes or donating our time and hard work to causes we’re passionate about.
In 2012 we asked ourselves “how can we do the same fundraising activities but have a greater community impact? How can we create a situation where 1 + 1 could equal 3?” The answer came in the establishment of a charitable entity, culminating in the creation of the Buildcorp Foundation.
The Buildcorp Foundation is a vehicle through which we harness the collective giving power of our staff, business partners, friends and families, through their time, talent, dollars or influence to make an impact in the community. The mission of the Buildcorp Foundation is to maximise the impact of our collective giving to causes and organisations close to the hearts of our people at Buildcorp.
More officially speaking, the Buildcorp Foundation is a Public Ancillary Fund governed by an independent board of directors, with full DGR status. Since 2012, we have grown to become one of the top five mental health funders in the country thanks to the incredible generosity of the Buildcorp community, raising over $6 million.
Fair Play
We value FAIR PLAY.
As a business powered by the values of rugby, fair play is one of the most important values we stand by. A fair play approach with a ‘one team’ mentality means we can be the best possible long term partners for our clients, our people and our community.
Preparedness
We value PREPAREDNESS.
Buildcorp is with you regardless of the stage of the project. Prepared to get in and pull our weight as part of the team, adding value and finding solutions regardless of the challenge.
From concept to completion and beyond, we will work in partnership with you to add value, provide options, innovate, deliver and support.
We’ve developed an approach to Early Contractor Involvement that is proven to mitigate risks and control costs, and for us, this approach has generated successful outcomes and happy clients across many projects.
Teamwork
We value TEAMWORK.
Great construction projects are the result of great teams and great teams don’t just happen by chance. Taking the lessons learnt from team sports and grassroots rugby, Buildcorp builds high performance teams and prides itself on being a teammate you can count on.
Buildcorp approaches each project with the aim of establishing or cementing a long term partnership and this forms the basis of our majoirty long term and repeat client base.
Creative thinking
We value CREATIVE THINKING.
Creative thinking is not necessarily the first thing you think of when you consider the stereotypical builder and we’ve been able to prove our difference by generating creative solutions to complex construction challenges. In fact, the harder the challenge, the more attractive the job is to the team.
Continual learning
We value CONTINUAL LEARNING.
Developing a plan, using technology to collect meaningful data, embracing the ‘why’ and doing something with the lesson is our continual learning approach to safety, quality, sustainability and risk management.
Our management systems are designed to define, measure, analyse and optimise the best possible outcomes. An industry leader in applying BIM technology to our projects, we also use data to achieve unprecedented safety results and revolutionary quality management systems.
A specialist team
Buildcorp’s leadership approach consists of a robust combination of homegrown business leaders, investment in project management expertise, and a foundation of family values.

Our systems
Safety system
Our aim is everyone on every site goes home safe, every day
To achieve this mission, our industry leading safety system utilises data, insights and proactive initiatives to protect our teams and ‘The Buildcorp Way’. Proudly, our safety system has received a number of awards recognising its effectiveness, innovation and risk management.
Smart system
Smart systems designed for quality & efficiency
Buildcorp’s commitment to the right processes informed by continual learning has driven the development of our industry leading systems over the last three decades.
A culture of quality
Underpinning ‘The Buildcorp Way’ for quality management is a simple mission: ‘We do the right thing today, to handover defect-free tomorrow.’
When it comes to producing quality outcomes, we make every day count. Our globally recognised quality system sets out a clear process of stakeholder collaboration, supported by tools, to help our project teams define, manage and deliver to the highest quality. It is our daily commitment to ‘do the right thing’ by following this system to make it easier to handover defect-free and provide our clients with a positive experience.
Defining Quality
Quality Management Framework (QMF)
The Buildcorp QMF is a comprehensive framework that brings together all project stakeholders to define project goals and a plan for achieving them. They will also collectively identify potential quality risks and assign proven processes to control them. The framework is continuously improved by documenting and assessing data and feedback from clients and stakeholders.
Delivering Quality
Procore System
Procore is Buildcorp’s system designed to help our teams put quality into action. Procore makes it easy to practically apply process quality inspections, allowing our teams and stakeholders to capture and manage rework, observations and defects. A single quality control system for all stakeholders enables transparent and rapid collaboration, connecting the critical roles that each person plays in delivering better quality.
Improving Quality
Data trends
To make sure no mistake is made twice, from day one, each project’s quality performance data is used to benchmark and identify trending issues. The data insights highlight measurable, repeatable elements to help our projects to progress more effectively.
Quality Outcomes
Client Satisfaction
Quality management at Buildcorp doesn’t exist in isolation. The data and insights we capture along the way is fed back into our overarching system with lessons learnt reports created to help our teams continually improve and make informed decisions on procurement, programming and rework/defect management. This process has improved client and team satisfaction and provided a wealth of shared knowledge that help our teams deliver defect-free more consistently.
