Our commitment
A genuine spirit of collaboration
We work closely with our clients to realise their project objectives. Our cooperative and solution-oriented approach ensures that all stakeholders are considered in decision-making and that the clients’ requirements are met to create exceptional outcomes. This cooperative and solution-oriented approach benefits our clients by reducing costs, delivering quality, developing viable alternatives, and ensuring an enduring asset is delivered.

Bennett is a client-focused organisation. We work with clients that have similar values and cultural alignment to ours. We follow a best-for-project attitude which means that we put project outcomes ahead of all other considerations.
Best-for-Project Outcomes
A best-for-project approach is a key ethos for our project teams and ensures a high level of trust with our clients. This ethos has helped us to win a large amount of repeat business from our clients
Collaborative Contracting
We work with clients to provide value-for-money solutions. We consider innovative ideas in design that can create more efficient ways to construct. Our design teams have an in-depth knowledge of code compliance across all development types.

Check out how we can help you below!
Construction
Bennett has the experience, resources and technical capabilities to deliver the full range of construction projects across a range of sectors, including aged care, health, education, industry, retail and finance. We work on small minor works projects such as shop refits to multi-stage commercial developments.
Early Contractor Involvement (ECI)
The cooperative contracting culture that Bennett follows is the perfect prerequisite for early contractor involvement (ECI). We are experienced in ECI during the design and development stage which removes the adversarial relationship between clients and contractors. It ensures that our objectives align and reduces commercial risk. It allows us to leverage each other’s resources and capabilities to boost strategic performance.
Commissioning
Delivering construction success
Commissioning plans are produced early in projects and coordinated with service trades. Commissioning is a fully-integrated, quality-oriented process. It verifies and documents all facets of the construction inspection and test plan (ITP) process, and operational performance of all the services facilities, systems and equipment.
Design & Innovation
Bennett has a strong in-house design management team and maintains a network of external specialist consultants to provide a comprehensive design and construct service. In this way we can provide a broad range of specialist project design outcomes.
Defect Management
Bennett actively identifies, monitors, and closes-out defects through the whole construction phase of projects to achieve defect-free completion. These processes are undertaken using a digital platform which helps to record and communicate the defects to the project team.
Minor Works
Our dedicated minor works team of Mick Furchtman (Project Manager) and Sharon Allen (Contracts Admin) is in place to construct commercial projects under $1m such as fit-outs, refurbishments and renovations.
Supporting our communities
Proudly part of the Northern Rivers Community
We are part of the Northern Rivers community. That community relies on what we do and we rely on their goodwill in managing our construction projects. It is therefore important for us to provide support to our communities. We encourage our staff to volunteer in community organisations and we provide support for local charities and also sponsor local sporting clubs.
We focus on initiatives that:
enrich the local community
enhance the lives of young people
support the physical and mental health of people in our region
Management systems
A Customer Focused System
Our aspirations for delivering defect free projects without incident are underpinned by our core values, a culture of integrity and a robust integrated Business Management System which is applied to all aspects of the business. Our integrated management system approach provides our clients and community with the assurance that projects will be effectively and consistency delivered to expectations with minimal risk. We employ a risk-based, customer focussed management system which integrates our business functions and compliance requirements into a single auditable framework. Our Management System Manual provides a quality, safety and environmental ‘one-stop-shop’, management manual. It contains all the systems and processes required to satisfy our clients’ requirements; and our policies and procedures for delivering our projects defect and claims-free, on time, and without incidents.
Bennett’s management systems are compliant with and certified to the internationally recognised best practice management systems models: ISO 9001—Quality Systems; ISO 14001—Environmental Systems and ISO 45001—Safety Systems.
