CIVIL construction company Gradian Projects and second-generation builder Monteleone Homes have joined forces in a bid to innovate and address market force pressures and supply chain bottlenecks facing the home building industry.
The partnership, which was announced in late December, will see a new generation of business focus for the 40-year-old Monteleone Homes and is the latest diversification for Gradian Projects and its rapid local expansion in just two years.
Monteleone Homes founding directors and family has a long history of building bespoke and custom designed quality homes in the region and has turned its customer focus toward designing and building homes to accommodate dual families.
However, with COVID-19 restrictions worldwide, resources and supply chain issues are constant bottlenecks for builders and that’s where the partnership with Gradian made perfect sense according to Gradian director Deepak Singh.
“The collaboration between the two of us just made a good brand even better with our resources and slightly different focus on project delivery, which will complement Monteleone Homes perfectly,” Mr Singh said.
Gradian Projects is a Shepparton-owned civil construction company which has been rapidly expanding since launching and acquiring Finley-based precast concreting business, Milcast in 2018. The company launched Gradian Hydrotech, an acquisition of Total Eden in 2020 and Numurkah’s Milne Construction in 2021, defying the hurdles of COVID-19 and expanding to now employ 55 staff members.
As well as complex civil construction projects, Mr Singh said the experience and processes behind Gradian Projects’ leading-edge safety standards will also bring a new and exciting edge to the next partnership with Monteleone Homes.
“This is an extremely exciting time for both companies. Monteleone Homes has such a high and tailored customer focus and we see ourselves as being able to add a significant contribution to their already high standards.
“Our expertise in additional complex project delivery, poly fabrication, steel fabrication but also shortages of trades where we have concreters who are also qualified bricklayers, and plumbers – our collaboration is going to add a new dimension to an already great brand,” Mr Singh added.
