WHO ARE WE

Sunbuild’s 50 major Master Builder Association, Territory Construction Association and Excellence in Building and Construction Awards are a testament to the business’ unrelenting commitment to providing only the highest quality results. Among the company’s many honours is The President’s Award for Shared User Facility (SUF) Larraheyah, the flagship project, Evolution on Gardner: Darwin’s finest address and the George Brown Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre.

During three busy decades Sunbuild has constructed over 320 projects, from $1 million to $88 million in value. Earning its reputation for excellence in commercial, residential, high-rise and industrial warehouse constructions, Sunbuild continues to go from strength to strength.

With Sunbuild, clients know they’re guaranteed end-to-end coverage of all facets of construction, from vision to delivery. We have the ability to review client design drawings and then re-design them to a complete, more practical solution which gives the client a coordinated building as well as saving them money. An example is the Paspaley Pearl office building. We made the project commercially viable by saving $12M on an $88M project.

Sunbuild is proud to continue its impressive partnerships across all sectors including key private, corporate, education and Government clients. A consistent record of repeat business reinforces our reputation as the Northern Territory’s premier builder.

Our commitment to remaining at the cutting edge of global construction techniques drives our team to innovate, attracting high-profile contracts and ensuring the best in productivity.

Our motto—‘Build with Pride’—influences every aspect of our operations and is the reason Sunbuild tops the list of Darwin construction companies.
