Elite Bricklaying Services Pty Ltd

Excerpt from the Australian National Construction Review 2013: Elite Bricklaying Services is owned and run by director Mark Walker, whose hard work and professionalism since the company’s inception four years ago has established Elite a reputation as being amongst the best and biggest companies of its type in and around the ACT – known for its quality workmanship, efficiency and client satisfaction. As the bricklaying trade faces an aging workforce, Elite Bricklaying Services has emerged to ensure experience and expertise continues once the old hands retire. Elite Bricklaying Services employs qualified and experienced bricklayers from all age groups, and Mr Walker personally oversees each job to ensure workmanship is completed on time and to the highest standards. The company’s construction experience spans from commercial to residential building works including office blocks, aged care facilities, residential houses, unit developments, and renovations. Elite’s workforce of thirteen, nine brickies and four labourers has been hard at work on the Canberra Avenue Offices Project – an office development consisting of 9,500m2 NLA of PCA Grade “A” quality office space and car parking. The team have relished the task. The 5-storey Canberra Avenue Offices Project features modular office floors which are nearly column-free and the development provides flexibility for additional redevelopment of the ‘Burns Building’ to allow a large campus style facility with a central courtyard. Mr Walker says there is no mucking about when Elite Bricklaying Services starts a job, and foreman from large construction companies around the region have been surprised at the efficiency of the team. “We can offer a full service, supplying all labour and materials for the building works and we even have our own Manitou to help get the job done,” says Mr Walker. “The best way to provide cost-effective services to customers is to complete the job quickly and properly the first time. Elite Bricklaying Services supports and rewards employees for efficient and quality work. This raises the bar for the rest of the team, and those who want to work hard stay, so they can also benefit from what hard work brings,” Mr Walker says. The business is currently also working on the Denham Construction Retirement Village at Manuka in the ACT.
