I established Improjex in March 2010 after completing the Audi Lighthouse project in Zetland and helping out with the Crocodile Exhibit refurbishment at the Sydney Wildlife Centre in Darling Harbour. Up to that point I had managed large projects ranging from $5M to $125M in predominantly commercial developments, with the odd retail and industrial projects. So why did I make the move then, in possibly the worst time in the global economy?
I wanted to give a more personal approach to project management, without the overblown hype and lingo; a service where I could help out Clients that needed a friend in the field.
So after the roller-coaster decline of the construction industry, especially in the last 12 months with a number of building contractors closing down (e.g. St Hillers, Southern Cross, etc), the high Australian dollar and our reliance on foreign investment and uncertainty with government, I've managed to hit the big 3 year anniversary! And besides overhauling the website, what am I doing next and learnt?
I've learnt that I'm going to keep offering personable services, because although it's not as popular with the big players in the industry, I believe that's the difference between really knowing the client needs and project than going through the motions.
