We are a select group of business people that have a vision for community orientated and progressive developments.

Projects that we undertake utilise all our individual passions, while incorporating current and future needs, design and affordability.

Each project is scrutinised by the whole team to determine financial viability and realistic time frames, ensuring we have a sound understanding of the project’s risks — as well as opportunities.

We then focus on the end result being the best possible outcome for all concerned including investors, end users, our local community, all contractors, regulatory authorities aligned with our purpose.

OUR TEAM

We acknowledge that to be successful we must work with our strengths and also surround ourselves with the strengths of those who specialise in their chosen field. We create teams that are driven by passion to bring a project’s vision to reality.

We select the best in the business to work with and ensure they all have an extensive background in developments and hold the same values and beliefs that we do.

We have been fortunate enough to have worked with and been advised by some of the masters in the industry. We pride ourselves on having a team that has extensive knowledge and experience in business analytics, planning, finance, all aspects of the legal realm, engineering, civil works, development, building, marketing and sales.

CLIENTS SAY

Mountian Views Estate

Larger and very affordable - looking forward to the peace & quiet “We are very excited to be moving to Drouin. The suburb has a country town feel, however is not that far from metropolitan Melbourne. It is still lush with greenery and is surrounded by the mountains and this is something that drew us to Drouin after living close to the city for the last 30 years. Our new block offers us the most luscious view of the beautiful greenery and mountain views Drouin has to offer. In addition to this, the land available is considerably larger and very affordable when compared against the dense builds in Pakenham or Clyde. We are very much looking forward to building our house and living in the quiet and peaceful town of Drouin.” - Don

"Mad Cat Constructions have just completed a 600m2 commercial factory for our business.

We started at conception stage working with Trevor as we weren’t sure exactly what we wanted and needed, and found him a pleasure to deal with and his ideas practical and easy to understand.

We always had the belief Trevor was working for us, putting himself in our position and looking at the most cost effective way to construct the build.

Like any projects, changes need to be made on the run and these were implemented with the minimum of fuss and documented. I would have no hesitation recommending Trevor and Mad Cat Construction to manage and build projects and have already initiated discussion on how they can build for us in the future."

Managing Director
at Gippsland Insulation

"Mad Cat Constructions were the contractors for our purpose-built factory in Hazel Drive Warragul — erected 2016/2017.

We were very happy with the quality and speed of the project with all works completed to specifications.

Any variations were handled thoughtfully and price adjustments were fair and accurate.

More than happy to recommend Trevor and his crew for any commercial project —
