SCOPE’S YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

Scope Building NT is celebrating 20 years of construction excellence in the Northern Territory this October.

After two decades operating in Central Australia, the milestone coincides with five years since the establishment of its Darwin base.

The company has grown at a steady, sustainable pace from a small business with a handful of staff to a respected and innovative design, construct and project management company.

Executive Director Matthew Bell, who moved to Alice Springs as a 23-year-old carpenter in 1997, says: “We’ve evolved into a commercial construction company in a measured way.” “We haven’t taken on any job that we knew we couldn’t do very well.”

He puts much of the success down to good staff, including Scope’s Darwin manager Stuart Rokahr and Alice Springs manager Jeremy Loudon.

“The success of our company relies on great staff. They create a harmonious work atmosphere, do quality work and bring other good people into the business.”

Scope’s reputation also rests on honesty. “We build good relationships with clients by being truthful and keeping them well informed throughout every stage.”

Scope’s capability as a design, construct and project management company means clients can go through the whole process – from concept to final inspection – with the same skilled people. The firm has a strong reputation for finishing work on time and within budget. Scope has 40 permanent staff and has built strong partnerships with its Territory sub-contractors.

“We’ve got a proven list of subbies who we’ve worked with closely over many years to achieve a common goal, which is always to produce quality work for our clients.”

The company, which has delivered a wide range of projects up to $25 million in value, has a growing reputation for taking on complex and logistically challenging work. For instance, Scope Building was awarded the $13.1 million contract to refurbish the Alice Springs Local Court, which was completed while remaining operational.

In Darwin, it has completed the $3.1 million hydrotherapy pool at the new Palmerston Regional Hospital, carried out refurbishment work at the Darwin Local Court and upgraded the science laboratory at Sanderson Middle School, plus other NT Government, Charles Darwin University and residential projects.

In Alice Springs, Scope Building built the new palliative care unit at Alice Springs Hospital and the Trade Skills Training Centre at Charles Darwin University’s Alice Springs campus among various other NT Government, Defence and residential projects.

Remote Top End projects include the $5.5 million construction of the health clinic and police station at Robinson River, more than 1000 kilometres by road from Darwin.

Scope’s latest project is to refurbish the water slides at the Leanyer Recreation Park in Darwin. “Every family in Darwin has been to the water park,” says Matt. “It’s a privilege to be working at such an iconic place. “We enjoy challenging work. We’ll work anywhere. We’re Territorians so we understand the weather and the logistics of working remotely.”
