BOUTIQUE BY NATURE
SYSTEMATIC IN APPROACH
As a boutique business, our service driven and family-oriented culture ensure our clients are treated with the individual and tailored attention they deserve. They are never simply ‘a number,’ and always get the dedicated attention of our ‘A’ team.
We manage our projects utilising systems and procedures one would expect from a larger tier firm, though we are nimble enough to ensure these do not cripple the process or create any unnecessary red tape.
INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (IMS)
Our internationally accredited Management Systems ensure our projects achieve the highest quality standards and that we maintain best practice in Quality Management, Environment Management and Workplace, Health & Safety Management.

We offer the reputation and track record of quality, service and attention to detail that every development deserves. Our Quality Management Systems & Procedures certification/accreditation to ISO9001 guide us in delivering our services consistently and diligently.
Australex understands the intricate level detail that sets a standout development apart from an average one.
Unwavering dedication and commitment to quality delivery has earned Australex a reputation for uncompromising quality construction. Our specialty quality control systems ensure clients and purchasers are left highly satisfied, not only with the end result, but with the ‘journey’ getting there.
SAFETY
ISO45001:2018
We believe safety is a basic right and are certified to international OH&S Management Standard ISO45001
Australex complies with the Work Health & Safety Legislations & Codes of Practice and has an exemplary safety track record. Safety is our most fundamental human right, and we pledge to uphold this commitment, providing a safe workplace for all.
We are certified to international OH&S Management Standard ISO45001, working to proven procedures and processes to protect the wellbeing of everyone who interacts across our worksites, as well as protecting our community and environment.
ENVIRONMENT
ISO14001:2015
Our Environmental Management Systems, Processes and commitment is evidenced in our certification/accreditation to ISO14001.
We are acutely aware of the impact the construction of buildings (and their subsequent operation) have on the environment, in terms of consumption of the world’s natural resources, and the creation of substantial volumes of pollution and waste. We therefore understand the importance of our actions on the sustainability of the environment and the communities we service, not only with regards to their impact today, but on that of future generations. We are committed to building on our sustainable design and construction processes and capabilities, and to implementing innovative design concepts to improve resource efficiency and waste reduction in our work. We will continue to implement initiatives that have a positive impact and seek to influence those around us to be equally conscientious and committed.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
SOFTWARE
Australex has adopted the PROCORE platform for standardising and managing document control and information management across every project. In addition to streamlining project management systems, it ensures easy access to project records years after a project’s completion.
Procore is the world’s most widely used construction project management software, connecting all parties to a project, on the one platform. Australex has invested in Procore, to manage project processes, documentation and reporting - connecting office to mobile staff, site teams and stakeholders in a simple, robust system that is easily accessible on the go. Procore enables us to work more efficiently, communicate better, and build faster from a ‘single centralised source of truth’
BUILDING INFORMATION
MODELLING (BIM)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the holistic process of creating and managing information for a built asset. The BIM process supports creation and management of information across the lifecycle of a project by combining all multi-disciplinary design and construction documentation into a common dataset. Since that data can be accessed in multiple representations, from 2D to 3D to tables, the information is far more accessible and connected than the disparate data sources associated with traditional CAD approaches.
Australex employs BIM as its preferred process and methodology for project design co-ordination, enabling teams to interface with technology to deliver better project outcomes. We conduct regular BIM workshops from the earliest stages to co-ordinate and increase the efficiency of the design process and to avoid and correct potential discrepancies and issues.
ADVANTAGES OF BIM
BIM coordination offers a great variety of benefits for the client’s construction project as a whole, improving coordination between all parties and stages of the project, helping with compatibility issues, excessive waste issues, and many others. There are several different benefits that 3D BIM coordination provides, including maximised utilisation of the building space, easier identification of design errors that would cost a lot of money to fix in the final project stage, and clash detection, greatly reducing the number of changes that would’ve happened in the construction process if the clashes were not detected sooner.
Thanks to BIM, multiple parties can work on a unified model that reflects changes from each and every one of them. This results in easier collaboration between engineers, architects, subcontractors, etc – improving the accuracy of the design as a whole and resolving issues before they’ve become much bigger down the track.

RISK MANAGEMENT &
COST CONTROL
We employ proven best practise project management disciplines to run our projects, applying a comprehensive and systematic way of identifying, analysing and responding to risks to achieve the project objectives. We have Risk Management Certified professionals in our team, ensuring you get the best people overseeing your best interests. By identifying high and low risks up front, we can apply the appropriate mitigations at all stages of the project lifecycle, avoiding unnecessary delays, costs and wastage.
The benefits of the risk management process include improvement of construction project management processes and the effective use of available resources. Australex manages project risks in collaboration with the design and consultant team, the client and key project stakeholders to mitigate risk exposure, manage the program and control costs.
OUTCOMES DELIVERED DIFFERENTLY
Our unique approach combines a highly tailorable level of service, underpinned by impeccably structured management systems and procedures. Our clients enjoy the best of both worlds – the flexibility, personalisation and responsiveness of an agile, boutique firm, combined with the depth and procedural expertise and structure of a larger firm.
