What we do

The Woollam character is distinguished by the collaborative approach of our people to their dealings with colleagues, clients, sub-contractors and the community. Below, is a summary of what we believe are the key traits of the company's character.

Willingness

In committing to a project - regardless of its size, location, or type - we are committing to do whatever it takes to do the job well. On handover, a Woollam Construction project is ready to function as planned.

Relationships

Before we start construction, we begin a conversation with our clients. That conversation is ongoing as we identify opportunities to improve a project's efficiency, anticipate difficulties, and devise solutions.

The management style of Woollam's operational directors values relationships with staff and subcontractors. Our reputation for managing costs and delivering quality projects is based on these relationships.

Stability

Since the1880s, the company has established benchmarks for stability as it evolved through times of great uncertainty -- war and peace, booms times and depressions.

In the 21st century, members of the Woollam family are still associated with the company and, we believe, the company's character still reflects its origins when reputation was 'bankable' and a promise was binding.

Colleagues

The company culture encourages vigorous debate on professional issues. This vibrant interaction
produces ongoing improvements in our planning, construction, and administrative systems.

As diverse as we are, Woollam team members have two things in common:
a passion for quality and a belief that working together will continue to set us apart.  

Capable

The dynamics of our organisation give us the flexibility to allocate people
and resources according to the stage demands of each project. We also
have the financial base and market credibility to manage the cash flow
fluctuations inherent in the life spans of major projects.

Working together with our clients from the concept stages, we
can help ensure that the final design meets their essential
requirements--and delivers real value for money.
