From humble, rural beginnings, Lahey Constructions has grown to become one of Australia’s most prominent and long-standing construction firms. For over 66 years, our passion for quality and service has enabled us to thrive in an increasingly competitive and ever-evolving industry.

Lahey Constructions is one of Australia’s most long-standing and successful construction firms.

We have built a wide and diverse portfolio, ranging from hospitals and correctional facilities, to luxury apartments and resort complexes. We are well known and highly regarded for our flexible approach, and our unfailing commitment to excellence and integrity.

We are also proud to provide a healthy, safe working environment for our people and communities, and lasting relationships with our clients, suppliers and consultants.

While our focus is firmly on the future – on utilising the most innovative methods and processes – our commitment to hard work, transparency and personal service has remained unchanged for over six decades.

Today, we remain family-owned and operated, and we have offices around Australia – in Sydney, Canberra, Darwin, Brisbane and the Mid-North Coast of NSW, where we first began back in 1950.

Transparency

In construction, certainty is essential. It’s why – from the very beginning – Lahey has worked openly and collaboratively. We expose and address any inherent project risks from the outset, and we work tirelessly to help turn risks into opportunities wherever possible.

Innovation

To stay ahead in an ever-evolving industry, an innovative approach is vital. For the past 65 years, we have flourished by continually honing our skills through listening, adapting and adopting new and successful ways of building and delivering projects.

Quality

Since inception, we have been continually committed to providing the highest quality design, construction and management. Our historic foundation as specialist master hand crafters means a commitment to refinement and precision is in our DNA.

Service

 At Lahey, we have a long-standing belief in the importance of customer service. We are committed to providing face-to-face contact, open and transparent collaboration, and regular interaction. This enables us to ensure that our clients are informed and happy at every step of a project.

Flexibility

We have brought together a unique industry team with the capacity to successfully guide the entire project lifecycle, from early-stage in-house design through to construction, compliance, services consulting and post-contract management. Few construction companies offer such a complete and flexible service solution.

Accountability

In every area of our business, we are committed to exceeding our clients’ expectations. We also hold ourselves fully accountable when it comes to fulfilling our obligations to our clients, suppliers, people, the environment and the wider community.

Experience where it counts

Our seasoned industry professionals are dedicated to listening to your requirements, delivering on our promises, and ensuring your experience of working with Lahey is both enjoyable and highly productive.

We see ourselves as part of your team, and are fully committed to giving you cost effective solutions, unmatched quality, and exceptional service. We strive to provide a quality of service underpinned by the behaviors that make us distinctive in the eyes of our clients.
