Trust
A “Dobbin” horse is a common name for a workhorse or a farm horse, from the middle-English 16th Century terminology. It was a term of endearment used for a family of work horses known for being quiet, strong, patient, and loyal. The logo includes a pure blue colouring, signifying a calm demeanour, loyalty, and trustworthiness, and in conjunction with the block, bold lettering in the company name, portrays strength and authority. These features of the Dobbins Construction brand and logo will convey, simply, our Core Values to our clients, in conjunction with the conduct of our employees.
Our approach
Step 1:
Collaborate
We’ll collaborate with you and everyone involved in your project to create a solid plan that will cover all basis, anticipate and avoid problems and set clear expectations.
Step 2:
Distinguish
We’ll add value and resources to your project to ensure that the costs are right and the project is set up for success. You’ll see how we distinguish ourselves from others (and how we distinguish the projects we work on) in practicality in this stage.
Step 3:
Deliver
We can deliver your construction project and see it through to fruition. With over 15 years of experience delivering better-quality, tailored construction projects, you know you can count on us for the whole process, or as much as you need help with.
What sets us apart
What sets Dobbins Construction apart from the rest?
Agile and flexible
We have the experience, skills and ability to be flexible and cater to your individual needs for each respective project. We ensure that we don’t take on too many projects at a time so that we can provide a more personalised (and higher-quality) service for each of our clients.
Relationship-focused
We have built great working relationships over more than 15 years, with suppliers and subcontractors across the supply chain. We consult with architects, clients and developers during the project design and pre-construction stages, and use these relationships to help improve project outcomes wherever and whenever we can throughout the process.
The highest level is our standard level
With a background in higher-level projects, we offer Tier 2 level processes, systems and experience, as a standard service, for smaller projects. This is something unique to us, and leads you to better project outcomes that are not typically offered by smaller builders.
Better planning and clearer expectations
Using Dobbins Construction through early engagement and collaboration can avoid common building project issues experienced later in the project if no addressed early. We can add value through addressing buildability and undertaking value engineering during the concept, feasibility, and detailed design stage of the building project, which leads to improved project outcomes at the delivery stage.
Collaboration at its best
We believe in taking a collaborative approach, sharing the unique learnings, experience and insights from all players within a project, and applying learnings for better outcomes for all. Working together with you, your stakeholders, and all parts of the supply chain, we are able to bring together a wealth of knowledge, experience and insight for your project. We’re experts at identifying problems before you know about them, and providing solutions to fix those problems. Our unique planning, project management and project delivery approach allows us to address any buildability issues and time or cost constraints before they become problems.
A better build experience
We make sure that every one of our projects gets the attention and support that you would expect and deserve. We take a client-based approach and ensure that we have the capacity to put in the focus and effort required before we take on a job. We limit the number of jobs that we take on at any one time, to ensure quality. When you work with Dobbins Construction, you also get direct lines of communication to our Director, for a better, more personable experience.
Our service area
We service clients in government and infrastructure, construction, residential building and commercial building projects, across Southern Queensland. This includes all suburbs of Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich and Gold Coast areas.
