Our Team

Our systems, processes, training and staff that make the difference. Our shared purpose, vision and values are the foundation of what make the business successful and why building owners, facility managers, builders, developers and body corporates engage them. It’s easy to see in the way we care for clients, their assets and their daily issues, the reasons those clients stick around.

Success is measured on the ease of your contract management by delivering projects on time, providing timely reports and invoices and providing follow up information or quotes. Communication is so important, and the team communicates with all stakeholders on a continuous basis. It’s also nice to know that when push comes to shove, we answer to their clients and not corporate shareholders.

We are a team of dedicated individuals who’ve come together under the shared vision of providing services that benefit you, the community and each other. We have a diverse range of facilities management solutions. We have truly created a one-stop shop for commercial and high-rise building maintenance and rectification works initially in 1999 and continues here at Vertimax.
