McConnell Dowell 2020 Annual Review

19 Annual Review 2020 Tell us a bit about your background? I recently joined Built Environs after spending 25 years with the Icon/Cockram business. I have been fortunate to work on projects in China, Puerto Rico and across Australia and New Zealand. I was heavily involved in the formation of a JV business with Leighs Construction in NZ and we completed a very successful large health project together in Christchurch and successfully led the Victorian Icon business through a merger as it experienced significant growth, with 20+ projects and turnover exceeding $700M. What does creative construction mean to you in within Built Environs? Creative construction to me means being attracted to working on challenging & complex projects that others would prefer to bypass. It means having a point of difference from our competitors, having the expertise & innovation in our teams that our clients actively seek out to deliver them successful projects. What is the outlook / future plans for Built Environs? We will be entering the Victorian market shortly which will be an exciting venture. We will be refreshing our approach in South Australia with new leadership in place. This business has exceptional delivery capability and we will be ensuring that we have the pipeline of projects to grow our turnover and cement our place in the Adelaide market. The more I learn about the upcoming opportunities in New Zealand the more excited I get about the future ability to grow this business. ‘I amexcited to lead the Built Environs team in Australia and NewZealand. I look forward to workingwith the diverse and talented team to grow the project portfolio in new and existingmarkets’ Michael Clemenger Managing Director Built Environs
