The Perkins Group of Companies are delighted to announce we were presented with the National Business Leadership Award for a Large Commercial Construction Company – Annual Turnover over $50M, at the Master Builders Association of Australia Business Leadership awards in Melbourne on 22nd August.

These awards recognize excellence in best practice, improvement initiatives, innovation, industry leadership and corporate social responsibilities within a business. The awards validate and celebrate the businesses which are leading the way in best practice and whom have genuinely instilled this objective into their long-term business strategy. The awards also aim to inspire businesses in the building and construction industry, large and small, to make excellence in best practice the foundation and mission of their brand.

Today, is R U OK Day and we’d like to encourage everyone to get involved and ask R U OK?

R U OK’s vision is a world where we’re all connected and are protected from suicide. Their mission is to inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully contact with people around them and support anyone struggling with life.

Today, Mates in Construction are Flying the Flag for suicide prevention, in support of R U OK Day.

Perkins Builders are involved. We’re flying the flag for MIC. We’re asking our coworkers and those around us R U OK?

We challenge you, not only today, but whenever you notice something out of the ordinary to ask R U OK?

Perkins Builders are delighted to announce our success at the Master Builders-Bankwest Excellence in Construction Awards held over the weekend.

On Saturday 29th June the Australian Institute of Building Awards were held in Perth; Perkins Builders are delighted to report Richard, one of our Project Managers was recipient of an AIB Award, for Commercial Construction $1 Million to $25 Million for his work on the Bannister Downs Dairy Creamery (BDD).

The BDD is a unique, state of the art complex that integrates agriculture, industry and tourism into an all-in-one milk production facility allowing high quality produce and a clear, transparent process from grass to gate, establishing a unique point of difference compared with other dairies in Australia. The overall design of BDD is an integrated complex of buildings, services and vehicular zones container within an overall site footprint.

Congratulations again Richard, and to the whole and the Perkins team for their work on this project!

Recently, some vile and racist comments were made about a young, indigenous West Coast Eagles

player on social media.

These abhorrent comments have been responded to by the West Coast Eagles with an amazing demonstration of unity, a message not only to stand against racism but to teach it’s importance; all supported by the wider AFL community.

As the company constructing West Coast’s new Training and Administration Centre at Lathlain Park and as a company with a firm belief of fairness and equality for everyone at the core of our business, we choose to show our support, we choose to make a stand.

Perkins Builders and our dedicated sub-contractor team are proud to stand with the West Coast Eagles.

We stand against racism. #whenwillitend
