WHO WE ARE

WHAT WE DO

EMCO Building is a progressive building company focused on providing quality service. Over the past 30 years, EMCO Building has grown to be a major building contractor in the WA commercial and multi residential sector.

We offer the full spectrum of building services from fit-out and refurbishment through to large scale new build structures and their associated infrastructure packages. With our highly experienced staff we can handle projects of all sizes, from just a few hundred thousand dollars to in excess of $70 Million.

As we have grown we have remained focused on our core objective – to provide a high quality building service at all times. With this in mind we focus on those areas where we know we can provide added value through our construction expertise.

WE CAN PROVIDE SOLUTIONS FOR:• Major fit-out, refurbishment, alterations and new build projects including schools,

colleges, defence facilities, government buildings, commercial, retail, medical, industrial and multi residential. Our high level of expertise means we are particularly suited to complex projects

• Design and construct projects

• The complete building service for all commercial and industrial buildings including warehouses production facilities, retail stores, leisure facilities, offices, hotels and carparks

• Large residential developments such as apartment buildings

• Structural elements associated with major civil engineering contracts including attenuation walls, pumping stations and workshop facilities

• Modular Building Solutions

OUR HIGH STANDARD OF SERVICE IS ACHIEVED THROUGH:• Developing a deep understanding of the project and what matters to our Client

• Ensuring that the construction process is carried out in the most cost effective and timely manner

Put simply, EMCO Building offers the building knowledge and expertise you expect from a major contracting company, combined with that all-important personal contact.

As well as building quality projects for our Clients we like to indulge our passion for building through our own in house developments either exclusively as the developer or in partnership with other developers. These developments allow us to push the boundaries of ‘conventional’ thinking and produce a product that is as much driven by the desire to construct buildings of ‘note’ as the desire for the return on investment.


WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE IN ALL AREAS OF THE COMMERCIAL SECTOR

APPROACH TO UNDERTAKING THE CONSTRUCTION TASK

OUR APPROACHEMCO Building commences each project with a systematic review of the project to identify:

• Risks and actions to remove or minimise risk

• Opportunities for innovation

• Ways to expedite the program

• Critical buildability and quality requirements

POST CONSTRUCTIONWe pride ourselves in following through to ensure our clients are completely satisfied with our work, always taking the nature of their operations into account.

We have a highly skilled maintenance department, ensuring we can react to any issues raised through the defects liability period quickly and effectively. Our maintenance team members are deployed in the months prior to practical completion so they become accustomed and intimately aware of the project and are therefore able to fix issues on the spot rather than waiting while individual trades are coordinated. This ensures the timely completion of defects works and the project overall, reducing potential stress and time delays.

Our teams’ attention to detail is paramount and all have a very strong commitment to and sense of pride in their work. At building handover, EMCO Building co-ordinates our trades to provide training to our client’s staff on any systems or operations they need to know. Completion manuals including as constructed drawings and all suppliers contact details are also supplied.

During the defects liability period, EMCO Building provides a single point of contact for any issues to ensure these are resolved quickly and effectively.
