Top 7 Construction Companies in Adelaide

First on our list is Hansen Yuncken, which has been serving not just the people of Adelaide but the entire Australian population for 104 years.

Hansen Yuncken was first established in Melbourne in 1918. It later opened offices in parts of Australia, including Adelaide in 1939.

Much of its work currently specialises in sustainable architecture and private-public partnerships. Their projects extend from residential to commercial buildings and private to public properties.

What fascinated us about Hansen Yuncken is its innovation. 

The HYway technology of the company—which, by the way, won an Intranet Innovation award—provides a bird’s eye view of the project to both the contractor and clients, making the communication process more efficient.

In addition, the Building Information Modelling (BIM) system implemented by the company ensures a more efficient working process. It’s an innovation that is not yet readily available to other construction companies.

Another thing that we appreciate about Hansen Yuncken is its focus on sustainable construction. They built the first six-star green building in the world, the Council House.

Its long history and renowned reputation also give its clients different levels of trust.

The company, however, mostly takes on high-end and large-scale projects. Its most notable projects in Adelaide are the Royal Adelaide Hospital and SA Waters.

Because of this, we believe it’s not the best choice for small-scale projects. Hence, if you are looking for a construction company to build your dream home, you might have to look at the other entries in this list.

Next on the list is Hutchinson Builders, the oldest construction company in this list with 110 years.

Hutchinson Builders, more commonly known as Hutchies, is Australia’s largest privately owned construction company. That’s how they initially piqued our interest.

Hutchies’ portfolio includes projects in different industries like civil and infrastructure, commercial, education, health, hospitality and tourism, industrial, and many more.

They have built malls, commercial spaces, universities, hotels, tourist attractions, and railway stations.

We like that kind of diversity. Such a diverse portfolio proves Hutchies’ ability to handle almost any project imaginable in whatever industry.

If you are particular about environmental preservation, you may want to check out Hutchinson. They have built one in every 12 Green Star-rated buildings in Australia, the most out of every construction company in the country.

Another thing we like is that they own the types of equipment they’ll use for the projects, making them available on demand. Such ownership also allows them to offer clients lower prices.

However, like Hansen Yuncken, Hutchies mostly take on large infrastructure projects. Even their residential portfolio mainly includes high-end residential buildings.

As such, it may not be the most suitable company for those looking to build a simple family house or a small retail store in their town.

Urban Oz specialises in property maintenance, renovations, repairs, and simple additions and alterations.

The company has built a strong reputation in Adelaide for the past 30 years. It has also proven its expertise by providing high-quality work to its clients.

What we like about the company is its 24/7 emergency service that allows anyone in Adelaide to get their construction worries fixed any time of the day.

In addition to this, they also provide free consultations and quotations. These are helpful for those who are only looking for estimates for their next project.

While it does a fantastic job at repairs and restorations, the company doesn’t build houses from the ground up. So, this might not be the best choice if you’re looking to build a home.

Another thing that we noticed is that the company lacks quality-related certifications, unlike the other entries in this list.

Nevertheless, we think Urban Oz is the best choice for those looking to renovate their homes or upgrade their commercial space.

Hickinbotham was first founded by Alan Hickinbotham and his father in 1954. Since then, the construction company has built over 40,000 homes across Australia.

For the past 68 years, the company has built its reputation and expertise in home building by providing high-quality homes to clients. Today, it is one of the most trusted home builders in South Australia.

Our favourite thing about this company is its extensive range of house designs. You can also customise your own home if you dislike their plans.

In addition, the company has a bigger buying power than other home builders in South Australia. This means that when they purchase materials, they place bigger orders and receive better deals.

This buying power helps them produce more homes than other builders and keeps their prices low.

That said, we think Hickinbotham can use some improvement when it comes to its efficiency. Some former clients have expressed their disappointment in them missing their estimated turnover time and starting construction later than the agreed date.

In addition, some communication hiccups may arise, which is not uncommon. However, it will still be better if such communication problems can be avoided to prevent delays.

It is also not meant for large-scale infrastructures like railway stations or hospitals.

Overall, we believe Hickinbotham is the best choice for those looking to build their dream home.

Our experience with Dornford Building Group has been nothing short of extraordinary. This construction company has managed to marry the often-elusive trifecta of efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness, resulting in a service that is truly remarkable.

From the moment we engaged Dornford, it was evident that their efficiency is unrivaled. Every aspect of our project was meticulously planned and executed, leaving us with no room for concerns. It’s as if they have a secret formula for turning complex construction tasks into a ballet of precision.

The quality of work delivered by Dornford is nothing less than exquisite. Their attention to detail is commendable, and it’s clear that they take immense pride in their craft. It’s as though every nail is driven with the precision of a surgeon and every brick laid with the care of an artist.

One might think that such exceptional service would come at a premium, but Dornford pleasantly defies this expectation. Their cost-effective solutions left us pleasantly surprised, proving that quality need not always be synonymous with extravagance. They have a knack for making your dreams a reality without breaking the bank.

The team at Dornford Building Group is a rare breed of professionals who not only meet expectations but exceed them. Their courteous and competent staff ensured that every interaction was a pleasure. It’s as if they have a sixth sense for customer satisfaction.

However, they don’t offer promos yet. We suggest checking their website for other affordable deals.

Our experience with ITAC Design and Construction was nothing short of impressive. From the moment we engaged their services, it was clear that we were dealing with a company that not only builds structures but also builds trust and confidence.

In terms of efficiency, ITAC exceeded our expectations. Our project was completed well ahead of schedule, and their commitment to deadlines is truly commendable. They turned our visions into reality with the swiftness of a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat.

Quality is the cornerstone of ITAC’s work. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in every nook and cranny of our project were truly remarkable. Our new space is a testament to their dedication to delivering nothing less than perfection.

When it comes to cost, ITAC is a breath of fresh air in a construction industry often marred by overblown budgets. Their transparent and reasonable pricing left us pleasantly surprised. In a world of hidden costs and unexpected expenses, ITAC is a beacon of financial honesty.

The synergy between ITAC’s design and construction teams is simply awe-inspiring. It’s as if they can read each other’s minds, resulting in a seamless and harmonious collaboration that benefits the client. They’re like the dynamic duo of the construction world, and we were the lucky ones to witness their prowess.

Communication is a forte of ITAC. Our queries and concerns were met with prompt and clear responses. It’s evident that they value our input and are committed to keeping us in the loop every step of the way. It’s like having a construction concierge service at our beck and call.

However, they don’t offer promos yet. We suggest checking their website for other affordable deals.

Genworth Group specialises in building custom-made luxury homes for their clients.

With 35 years of experience, the managing director and founder of Genworth Group, Chris Diamantis, established the company because of his passion for designing and building luxury homes.

We like the company and its team’s dedication to thoroughly filling the clients’ desired homes. The team consultations provide the clients’ insight and help them design a better home.

We also appreciate that the company offers free consultations. This helps possible clients to assess if the company is the perfect match for them.

Although the company offers custom-made homes, its portfolio shows that it excels more in designing classic luxury homes than in modern architecture.

Nonetheless, you can still consult with the team and see if they can deliver your dream house, even if it employs modern architecture.

As a home builder, the construction company is unsuitable for large-scale projects like hotels or other tourist attractions.
