Business Formed 1987
Karratha Building was formed in 1987 by Rex & Jude O’Leary. It was identified that there was a gap in the local market for quality Building Companies servicing the Commercial, Industrial & Residential sectors.
The Company was formed with a strong focus of local employment and that commitment to the local community and their families became the core value on which Karratha Building was forged.
1990
Karratha Building worked hard to cement their name in the marketplace with a strong focus in the building and maintenance markets. Within three years, Rex and Jude had increased their clientele, securing Government, Mining, Infrastructure, Maintenance and Refurbishment contracts, embedding themselves as a contractor of choice in these industries.
1995
By the mid 1990’s Karratha Building held a reputation as a leading and diverse construction company and employed 35 persons.
Across these industries our commitment to delivering high quality works to key clients such as Rio Tinto Iron Ore, Dampier Salt, Woodside, City Group, WA Health Department, Department of Finance and many more solidified our place in the Industry.
