We are People Who Build.
About us
At ADCO, we’ve been ‘people who build’ since our very first project back in 1972. In the 50 years since, we’ve grown to become one of Australia’s largest private builders. We remain 100% Australian-owned and are hugely proud of our heritage which has been steered by the values of family, trust and honesty. Each year, our national presence and commitment to excellence sees us entrusted to deliver many of Australia’s most iconic community projects. This includes state-of-the-art hospitals, schools, sporting facilities and major retail centres. Yet for all our growth and success, it isn’t the projects that define the ADCO Way. Rather, it’s the people and partnerships we build along the way that continue to make us the ‘builder of choice’ for our clients, our consultants, our contractors and our people. It’s also why we retain high levels of repeat business among major private and institutional corporates, as well as federal, state and local government agencies. Today, our award-winning capabilities extend across the complete non-residential construction sector including education, commercial, health, retail, aviation, leisure, aquatic, community, defence, rail and transport. Our projects are delivered via early contractor involvement, design and construct, managing contractor, and traditional construction methods of procurement. As we move into our second half-century, our foundations have never been stronger – nor our focus clearer. We’re excited to build the next generation of success for our clients, our people and, of course, the Australian communities we serve.

The Kolorer College Precinct project for the Victorian School Building Authority is entering its final stage and the progress on site is a credit to every member of the team. From design to delivery, everyone has played a key role in getting us to this point. The finish line is in sight, and the focus now is on maintaining momentum, staying sharp on safety and detail, and delivering a high-quality outcome that meets the expectations of both our client and the wider community. This school will serve thousands of students in the years ahead, a legacy we are proud to be building. In addition to delivering this vital asset for VSBA, our Victorian team has launched the School to Work Program on site. Collaborating with FUTURE CONNECT and Master Builders Association of Victoria, this initiative helps secondary students explore career pathways in building and construction. A huge thank you to Master Builders Victoria for their generous donation of PPE including 60 pairs of steel-capped boots, 40 high-vis vests, 40 hard hats, eye protection, gloves, and earplugs, all hand-delivered by MBV Director of Advisory Sam Smith. The first School to Work Program event included a site tour and careers presentation for 30 Year 11 students. We are currently hosting 3 x Structured Workplace Learning Students for one day per week, throughout the month of October. With the final stretch ahead, the team remains focused, united, and committed to delivering a result that reflects the pride we take in building for the future. #ADCO #PeopleWhoBuild #MasterBuildersVictoria #FutureConnect #Education #VICProjects #BuilderOfChoice
