OUR APPROACH
Clarke Constructions welcomes the opportunity to service a variety of arrangements to suit your particular project; including tendering, lump-sum, cost-plus and negotiated budgets. In addition we aim to be involved in the early stage of projects during the design and documentation period to provide building advice services. It is our belief that quality begins with a good briefing and that clear communication is paramount in order to comprehend client needs.
COORDINATION OF PROJECTS
Well managed project coordination is of paramount importance to produce efficient build processes and ensure smooth transition from construction to handover. Each Clarke project is provided with accurate construction program systems, onsite coordination and client involvement to ensure this objective is achieved. We encourage client involvement during the building process to create a dynamic construction system which can be adjusted as required during the project to meet all necessary requirements.

That is why each Client has a single point of contact without our company that they can rely on to interpret their requirements and ensure first class results.

OUR STORY
1983
The Clarke Constructions story began in 1983, when Bruce Clarke, the managing director began his apprenticeship with Jon Stephens.
1989
After completing his apprenticeship and doing the mandatory backpacking year in Europe, Bruce arrived back in Brisbane to set up a building company. During his apprenticeship, Bruce had developed a love for old Queensland homes and soon became skilled at bringing them back to their original glory, under the banner, “Bruce Clarke Restorations”. This was a time in Brisbane when real estate, particularly in the city fringe areas, was booming. Old Queenslanders and colonials were being bought and renovated in growing numbers in suburbs like Paddington, New Farm, Rosalie, Bardon and Spring Hill.
1990
Bruce soon became a sought-after renovator and put on more staff to keep up with the demand. By the late 90’s, the team were broadening their skills base and branching out into other areas of construction including commercial, hospitality and high-end architectural residences.
2000
In the Year 2000 the company was re-branded as “Clarke Constructions” and with an enviable team of sub-contractors and full time staff, it was well established as one of Queensland’s most reputable and skilled constructions companies.
2000 - now
From 2000 onwards the company has accumulated a portfolio of work which includes pubs, warehouses, a yacht club and even a Buddhist temple.
Clarke Constructions is enormously proud of its long track-record. We are still excited by the process of building. We believe we have the best team of people working for us and are looking forward to maintaining our strong presence in the industry for many years to come.
What People Are Saying
At Clarke Constructions we know that you are only as good as your last project. We are therefore very proud that our business has grown substantially over the last thirty years as a direct result of referrals from satisfied clients and partners.
“It's hard to find honesty and integrity in the building industry. I have had the pleasure of working with Bruce and his efficient team on multiple projects and every time, without fail, they deliver what they promise. I cannot recommend a company more for any and all residential and commercial projects.”
~ Travis Pringle, TJ Concreting
“Thank you very much for the wonderful renovation that your team has done on our home. They have been a pleasure to have in our house, and well reflect your professionalism, communication skills and attention to detail. We would not have had such a wonderful result had it not been for the combined experience that the team at Clarke Construction has to offer. Thank you once again.”
~ Yeronga residence client
“In the eight years we have been associated with Clarke Constructions, they have worked on five major projects for us, including the recent construction of a 3300sq m industrial building in Brisbane. They always provide an excellent and responsive service that represents value for money. Their standard of workmanship is very high, and more importantly, they always stand by their work, providing a reliable ‘after-sale’ service.”
~ Donna Pekol, Pekol Investments
“The Clarke team is not simply one man running the company, it consists of dependable staff at every level of their administration team as well as their own ‘hands-on’ site employees. Every project has its own share of challenges and Clarke Constructions sets about to collectively resolve those issues from the get-go and continue to do so right through until the completed project is handed over.”
~ Dan Williams, Ecco Developments

Their prompt attention, communication with us, and the making of good progress to completion has been most reassuring and appreciated.”
