Working closely with our clients and partners, our projects support local communities and businesses, and play a role in urban and rural development.

From design to construction, we are delivering environmentally responsible and resource-efficient infrastructure that will enhance people’s lives for generations to come.

Preserving and protecting the environment

We understand that effective environmental management is an ethical and commercial imperative.

Whether delivering city-shaping projects or supporting the growth of regional areas, we are committed to sustaining the environments where we operate.

Our environmental plans are developed at the planning phase of each project and enacted throughout the project lifecycle to help preserve and protect the environment.

Our environmental commitments include:

Taking accountability for our environmental performance and conducting audits and reviews towards continuous improvement.
Leading by example and engaging with industry, clients and regulators to innovate, share, learn and inspire.
Embedding environmental procedures in our company’s management system, meaning anyone within our organisation can easily access and utilise a comprehensive set of procedures, tools, in-field guides and toolbox presentations.

Green Star and NABERS

Our experience and expertise in delivering environmentally sustainable designs and our adoption of green building practices have also become part of the way we operate.

Broad Construction has significant experience in the delivery of NABERS and green star rated projects, demonstrated through the awards and certifications of more than 20 projects, across commercial, accommodation and retail.
