History of success

Foundations that excite us about where we’re going next.

When brothers Peter and Ian Carter founded Prestige Building Services in Canberra in 1989, they based their business on giving clients quality and certainty.

Fast forward a decade, and their reputation for doing just that saw them deliver a large proportion of the Sydney Olympic Village. It led to the opening of a Sydney office in 2000, followed by expansion into Brisbane and even more landmark builds.

Today, we are one of Australia’s most insightful, reputable and collaborative construction companies and our team culture and client loyalty are the greatest measures of our success.

We’re here for life.

Sydney Olympic Village

Newington, NSW

Here for life is a commitment to manifest our partners’ vision and add value over the entire life of a project. It also recognises that we produce places that shape people’s lives. We never lose sight of that.

We raise the bar
