Our Capabilities


Year of Completion: 2013Duration: 34 weeks

Comprising four units split over two levels, this project on Browning Rd, Armadale was built for a company that operates both as a cabinet maker and a manufacturer of stone bench tops. The process of cutting and polishing the stone uses substantial amounts of water, so a complex system of sloping floors, floor drains and a state of the art water filtration system was designed and built so that 90% of the water used is recycled water. Four gantry cranes aid in the movement of the stone between the various CNC machines. To gain the required water flow and pressure for the fire protection system, diesel powered pumps draw water from two storage tanks. The development is connected to two Fujiclean waste water recycling systems and the recycled waste is used to irrigate the surrounding gardens.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Alastair and the team at Alita Constructions for more than 10 years now and over that time they have proven to be a very efficient company that conducts themselves with the utmost professionalism.

I enlisted the help of Alita Constructions to build my last four projects, the latest being a new four unit factory complex in Armadale. This was no simple build for Ed (Building Supervisor) as water tanks, filters and extensive drainage systems were required for recycling to one of the units. Many changes were made during the building process to make this possible and at no stage was I left to feel that my changes were too much trouble, all variations were made with ease and were cost effective. The Staff at Alita always communicated well with me during the building process with regular updates even whilst being overseas making the entire build relatively easy. Alita’s work has always been of the highest quality and I would have no hesitation in recommending Alita Constructions to any potential client wishing to build a quality new home or factory.”

Factory Units


This 1230m2 factory constructed primarily out of precast concrete panels was built for a medium sized cabinet making business in the Forrestdale Business District. The double storey office features a balcony complete with barbeque area, and a small gymnasium is located on the first floor. The companies’ reliance on CNC machinery and compressed air meant upgrades to power and the placement of airlines and power supply throughout the factory. Two roller shutters allow for delivery of materials on the one side of the factory and easy access for the completed cabinets to be picked up by the installers on the other. This project was delivered to the client on time and within budget.

“After building our new offices and factory with Alita Constructions, I would have no hesitation recommending Ali and his team to anyone planning a building project. Our project of 1000m2 factory plus show room and offices, was built on time and within budget and the end product looks great! We appreciated the cooperation from the Alita Constructions’ staff, assisting us wherever they could, making the whole process flow smoothly. We have a wonderful new factory which serves our purpose very well. Thanks Ali and team.”

This unique project involved building the first stage of a church building which is licensed to seat 350 people. The first stage of the build included a large meeting hall, kitchen, crèche facilities and a number of smaller meeting rooms. Future plans hope to see a large naïve added to the building. Throughout the design and construction of this project we worked closely with the building committee from the Free Reformed Church of Darling Downs. A combination of acrylic rendered precast concrete panels, feature brick walls and exposed structural columns give this church a modern look while still complimenting its rural setting.

“We, as the building committee for the Free Reformed Church of Darling Downs, had the pleasure of working alongside Alita Constructions in constructing our new place of worship. The nature of the project, given the vested interest of each church member, was to ensure the project was built on time and within budget. Alita Constructions’ professional approach and unwavering commitment was a key contributor to the success of the project. Their ability to understand our requirements, keen eye for detail, willingness to allow flexibility and on site planning and initiative ensured we received a building of a very high standard that we and the local community are very thankful for.

For these reasons we would not hesitate to recommend Alita Constructions to any potential clientele who wish to engage their services.”

The Free Reformed School Association received funding as part of the Building the Education Revolution Program. This funding was used to build multi-purpose sport halls at three of its schools in Byford, Kelmscott and Rockingham. Alita Constructions was awarded the contract for all three, which were built over a period of 12 months. The three halls comprising toilet facilities, kitchens and storage rooms were built using a combination of precast concrete tilt panels, structural steel wall and roof framing, and were lined internally with insulated wall panels. All three halls are serviced by Fujiclean waste water recycling systems and the recycled water is used to irrigate the surrounding gardens.

“The building has an excellent design and works efficiently, and plus the project was completed on time and within the budget! At the time it was quite complicated as normal school operations had to continue. With the effort and help of the builder, it was possible. We would recommend Alita Constructions to any business needing their services.”

Despite budget and time constraints and a relatively complex build, the Serpentine Jarrahdale Community Resource Centre was completed in less than 6 months. Face brick, metal cladding and precast concrete tilt panels were the materials of choice for this build, with the main feature being a coloured polished concrete precast panel.

“It is clear to me that all the team have been selected because they exhibit similar qualities in regard to customer service, honesty, and reliability.

I would recommend Alita Constructions and their people and contractors to anyone who wants some construction work completed on time and within budget.”

In 2008 Alita Constructions completed this specialised build for Seasons Funeral Parlour.

Much thought and effort was put into the design of the building to ensure it functions well and also sensitively accommodates the needs of the deceased’s family and friends.

The building features an undercover drop off and pick up area, a waiting room, a chapel, viewing rooms, meeting rooms, kitchens and a large triple garage for the hearse which is accessible from inside the building.

In October of 2011 Alita Constructions was awarded the contract to build a 5270m2 warehouse and over 1000m2 of office space for Tyremax. As the contents of the warehouse are rubber tyres, an adequate fire suppression system was critical to the project’s design. Three 300hp turbo diesel powered water pumps were needed to supply water to over 350 sprinklers throughout the warehouse and racking. Three large tanks, each holding 275kl of water were installed in order to provide adequate water in the event of a fire.

The building features a sophisticated façade with double glazed windows, Alucobond cladding and aluminium louvers. The office fit-out includes full height glass partition walls, a fully automated lift, three kitchens and top quality fixtures throughout.

“During the recent construction of the commercial warehouse and large office area at Lot 103/104 Baile Road, Canning Vale, Alita Constructions showed great pride in their work throughout the complete building process. The project was delivered on time and within budget. Cost savings were recommended to us by proposing to change the underground fire tunnel to an above ground fire tunnel in order to save money. Alita Constructions helped us finalise the drawings to reflect this change. I found the team at Alita Constructions to be very honest, reliable and always willing to help in whatever way they could. The construction process was well managed.”
