One builder. Four eras. Same hands.
Every era answered the market of its day, and each one added a capability the next one kept. Nothing was left behind, which is why a business known for live-environment delivery can still finish a building to award standard.
The family's building roots go back to Peter's grandfather. Peter Mason learned the craft of complex delivery at Kane Constructions before starting out on his own.
Ducon Constructions delivered high-end, architecturally designed work with Melbourne's leading architects, homes, clubs and campuses. HIA Small Project of the Year, 2009.
The business followed the market into occupied public assets, health, education, rail, emergency services, government and Defence. 1,000+ projects. AIB Excellence Award 2015. Triple ISO. Federal Safety Accreditation.
Both strands together: the finish of the award era and the discipline of the live-environment era, seven sectors, and the four questions as the way in.
