Sime Building and Construction was established in late 1990 with a vision to become a progressive construction company committed to delivering quality outcomes, on time and within budget.
Our genesis was in high volume private sector residential and multiple unit developments. We then branched into government housing and commercial contracts for both government and private clients.
We expanded our operations cautiously, employing highly experienced and committed management to train our growing workforce and to develop best practice through excellent management systems - in turn earning Sime a reputation as a solid contender for commercial projects throughout Western Australia.
Our contracting heritage is absolute and acknowledged by the stakeholders of more than 200 projects in the residential and commercial construction sectors.
