The Batemans Bay Lions International clubhouse was vandalised four times in the ten months to June last year. Outdoor lighting was smashed and a door frame was damaged so badly it caused rain to enter the ceiling, which went undetected until too late. The volunteer club was left demoralised, with an ugly clean-up bill and plenty of work.

Prime Build co-founder Dean Willemsen says ‘we think if we do the right thing by our subbies they’ll do the right thing by us’.
Co-founded six years ago by two carpenters then aged 23 and 22, western Sydney’s Prime Build has become a preferred supplier for the likes of K-mart, Myer and Aldi with practices which are unusual by building industry standards.
“We’re always questioning the established way of doing things,” says general manager Dean Willemsen, who along with construction manager Tim Thompson has created an employer of 40 people expected to turn over $30 million in 2014-15, after becoming Australia’s fourth-fastest growing company with a 195 per cent average annual increase in turnover in the three years to 2013-14.
Written by Robert Hashowsky, the article focuses on awards recently won by Prime Build, core values, and how ‘planned, prepared and precise’ have a meaning that rings true for staff and clients alike.
“We are of course very excited about BRW’s recognition of our achievement. We are a young company and every single team member works extremely hard to deliver the best possible service to all our customers, irrespective of project size. We know there are many challenges ahead and we have confidence that what we’ve put into place in our business philosophy, systems, practices and people will see us continue to mature” – a statement from Prime Build’s Team.
