FOR LIFEThe launch of the Probuild Construction Group in 1989 by directors Michael Simmonds, Nicholas and Philip Buck was founded on a single overriding principle – whatever we build, we build for life.
From that challenging starting point flowed a group philosophy, business strategy, corporate culture, management approach and execution of construction projects to the highest standards. Our growth since those early days is a strong indicator that we have met and in most cases exceeded the exacting requirements of our client base in the demanding construction industry.
An ethos based on the highest ethical standards permeates our entire, purpose-driven business. With well trained and experienced team members being the most valuable asset of our enterprise, the directors believe that utilising the most advanced technological and management systems to achieve corporate and client goals provides a significant advantage in a highly competitive marketplace.
INVESTMENTINpeopleWe believe in investing in the ongoing development of our people as our most valuable asset. Our investment in training and advancement is ongoing.
At the same time we are committed to strong leadership with the experience and qualifications to provide all-embracing mentorship to team members as an integral element of Probuild’s supportive environment.
