Note
Australia’s construction industry has
established a strong reputation for itself
by virtue of having completed a number
of difficult and large-scale projects,
not only in the country but in overseas
locations as well. John Holland, which
has recently become a part of the
China Communications Constructions
Company, is an extremely successful
and reputed building contractor. In the
current month’s issue we examine its
accomplishments with special reference
to its adoption of sustainable practices.
Tomkins Commercial & Industrial
Builders Pty Ltd is a family owned
and managed construction business
based in Queensland. In the last six
decades it has completed a number of
prestigious projects. Our story looks at
the company’s management philosophy
and the reasons behind its growth and
spectacular achievements.
The market for luxury homes is booming
and Riverstone Custom Homes, a 20
year old company based in Perth, has
established itself as an accomplished
builder catering to the high-end of the
market. We find that it offers a range of
options and its prices provide excellent
value for money. In this issue we have
coveredanothercompanyheadquartered
in Perth, Pritchard Francis, a leading
consultancy specialising in structural and
civil engineering.
With our special focus on the
construction industry this month we
have reports on J & B Projects, Lewence
Construction and T.C. Clarke and Son
and we examine the important role being
played by bodies such as the Australian
Constructors Association and the Green
Building Council. We also bring you details
of an association in the related area of
property, the Real Estate Association of
Australia.
This issue also carries a story on
Mondo Di Carne, a wholesale and retail
meat business catering to customers in
Western Australia and beyond. Finally, we

the cause of energy conservation, the
Energy Efficiency Council, whichhas been
set up by several leading companies in
the energy and electrical related fields.
We hope you find the information about
