Tony Sukkar AM

As Managing Director and Co-Founder of Buildcorp, Tony’s career has spanned over four decades of leadership in construction, rugby and the community.

Tony began his career with roles at Civil and Civic and Girvan Corporation before founding Buildcorp in 1990. 34 years later Buildcorp has delivered circa $7.5bn in projects, many award winning, across Australia’s east coast and now employs more than 500 staff.

Tony’s collaborative leadership style is about building people and teams as much as projects. These cohesive teams are at the forefront of providing commercial construction solutions across new build, refurbishment, fit-out and remedial projects, as well as bespoke joinery through their joinery arm Euroline.

Between 2012 to 2018, Tony served as a Board Member of the Kambala School Council whilst also chairing its Property Committee. From 2010 – 2018, Tony was a member of the University of Sydney Buildings and Estates Committee, providing strategic counsel to the University’s campus improvement program. In 2019, Tony was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the University of Sydney in recognition of this contribution.

His passion for community and rugby has also led Buildcorp to be one of the longest running grassroots sports sponsors in Australia, with over 30 years as the Major Sponsor of the Sydney University Football Club.

Together with his wife Josephine Sukkar AM, Tony formed the Buildcorp Foundation in 2014 (to which he is a Director) to harness the collective giving power of their network to support causes close to the hearts of Buildcorp’s people.

In 2017 Tony was recognised for his services to construction, the community and sports with a Medal of the Order Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
