Brolga Inspired

I was very impressed with Brolga Developments. They are a professional company that meets deadlines and budgets. Their project manager Greg was fantastic - So much so that I recommended Brolga Developments to my family members who are now using Greg and Brolga on their own projects. Thank you Brolga Developments, it was a pleasure doing business with you.

We contracted Brolga to build our two-storey house in Kensington. Deciding on a builder for your dream home can be quite bewildering, but our architect recommended Dene, and after meeting him and reviewing his extremely detailed quote we felt the choice was obvious. Dealing with Dene, and the other members of staff at Brolga has been very pleasant and nothing ever seems to be too much trouble. All our concerns and queries have been dealt with promptly and professionally. Dene has a wealth of experience gained through very many years in the building industry. At this stage, roughly halfway through the build, we are on schedule for completion in the Spring as we were advised at the outset. As the contract we signed was for a fixed price, the only factor which will increase our final build cost will be any variations we decide upon. We have been very impressed by the quality of the work on site, and have noticed that Peter, the site foreman, is prepared to go the extra mile to achieve the best possible results (even though we would probably be none the wiser if he hadn't!). Basically, we feel our new house is in safe hands with Brolga and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Brolga was appointed via competitive tender as the head contractor for an 8 unit apartment development in Broome at a construction cost of $2.16M + GST. The developer is Nyamba Buru Yawuru Ltd (a not-for-profit indigenous organsiation) and I am the Property Project Manager. The apartments were designed by local architecture firm Engawa Architects as a double storey complex with high quality contemporary finishes in Broome style architecture. We involved two builders in a preliminary pricing process based on concept plans, and proceeded to a formal tendering process upon procurement of a planning permit and completion of design development documentation. Brolga were proactive in the tendering process, offering targeted cost savings, buildability efficiencies and recognised the importance of the quality finishes specified. The works were awarded under an AS4000 Construction Contract and Brolga was prompt and consultative in resolving outstanding design issues leading up to the procurement and construction phase. Brolga employed a cohesive team on site and maintained a clean, tidy site throughout construction. Contract Administration processes were effective & sophisticated and at all times professional, and any issues on site were addressed with a phone call and a site meeting, resulting in excellent communication and resolutions between client and builder. Variations were resolved with transparency and discussion and negotiations at all phases were easy. The quality of the finished product is excellent and the pre completion inspections revealed very few defects. There have been very few issues post handover and the apartments have been successfully tenanted. In all we were very happy with Brolga's performance and would not hesitate to recommend them, or use them on future projects.
