COMPANY PROFILE
about us

Built QA Core Values
- Relationship management
- Strong leadership to provide trust
- First class quality construction and service
Sustainable and Local
Sustainability is important to us. We employ passive design principles in all our designs along with using prefabrication that uses standardised building material dimensions, and therefore minimising waste. In addition, the centralised off-site location of a prefabricated build results in a lowering of carbon emissions (by up to 60%) associated with transporting materials and labour.
Most importantly, we aim to use local as much as possible – from the people on the ground to the building material. This keeps our communities sustainable.
