Another Built Ink milestone ✅

We’re proud to announce the handover of 3 Pegg Court, Kewdale — a new industrial facility designed to meet the needs of WA’s growing logistics and industrial sector.

From concept to completion, this project showcases the strength of our design-and-construct model:

Efficient delivery
Reliable outcomes
Long-term value for our client
A big thank you to our talented team and trusted subcontractors who helped bring this project to life. Together, we continue to shape WA’s industrial landscape with fairness, reliability, and purpose.

At Built Ink, we know the pressures the WA construction market is under right now.

📌 The RLB Escalation Report highlights that project durations across WA have stretched by around 25% due to labour shortages, supply chain disruptions, and productivity challenges.

📌 In Perth’s industrial sector, vacancy rates in prime locations remain under 1%, with demand driving more pre-lease and design & construct projects (Commercial Property Marketing, June 2025).

📌 Nationally, costs for warehouses and distribution facilities are rising at over 2.5× the rate of CPI (CBRE Construction Cost Trends 2023–24).

These conditions make reliable, skilled subcontractors more important than ever.

Built Ink relies on a trusted network of qualified contractors — the people who help us deliver certainty, efficiency, and quality across every project.

We value the teams who partner with us. Together, we’re keeping WA’s industrial projects moving forward.

Built Ink. Fair foundations. Strong partnerships. Lasting assets.

There’s a crucial difference between a safety task you finish and a safety standard you live.

What's the one thing that defines your company's safety culture?

20/08/2025

What's the single most valuable ROI on a commercial build? It’s not just in the final asset.

It’s hearing your client say, "Working with Built Ink was a seamless experience. Their attention to safety and process meant our team never had to worry."

This feedback from the team isn't just a nice review; it's the direct result of our integrated Design-Build-Manage model.

In an industry where 82% of contractors report losing money due to subcontractor failures, "peace of mind" isn't a luxury, it's a core risk management strategy.

Our model provides a single point of accountability from feasibility and design right through to final handover. This eliminates the communication gaps and blame-shifting that create delays and budget blowouts, turning a complex, high-stakes process into a transparent and controlled journey for our clients.

We don't just build warehouses and workshops. We build confidence.

For developers and investors, what's the one thing that gives you the most peace of mind when partnering with a builder?

Executing a successful property development is more than securing a location. It’s about mitigating risk at every stage.

Identifying a promising property or development site is a critical first step. However, beneath the surface lies a complex network of logistical, financial, and regulatory considerations.

Comprehensive due diligence, intricate regulatory compliance, financial viability assessments, and stakeholder management are not discrete tasks. They are integral components of a successful project lifecycle. Without a systematic approach and an integrated team of experts, from financial analysts to compliance officers and construction managers, a project is exposed to unforeseen liabilities, potential cost overruns, and significant delays.

Our unwavering commitment is to operational excellence. We believe that a transparent, structured process transforms a potentially high-risk venture into a strategically managed asset, ensuring security and value for all stakeholders involved.

A secure project begins with our core principles. Explore our vision and the six key values that guide our approach to property development here: https://builtink.com/our-vision/

Safety is not a cost centre. It's a competitive advantage.

For any major development, project success hinges on predictability and risk management. While many companies have safety rules, we build a safety culture.

True operational excellence isn't achieved through top-down mandates alone. It's forged through a collective commitment where every person on-site is an active partner in upholding our standards. This collaborative approach is what truly sets us apart and ensures our culture is upheld, day in and day out.

A team that shares responsibility for safety works with greater trust, focus, and efficiency. Our mandated protocol is a vital tool, but it's our team's shared ownership that brings it to life.

For our clients, this collaborative culture translates directly to smoother projects, reduced risk, and a higher quality asset built by a focused, world-class team. This carousel explores 5 key components of our standard and how our collective approach makes them successful.

As an industry leader, how do you weigh a potential partner's safety culture during the selection process? I'm interested in your perspective in the comments.

What’s the most important tool for site safety? You’re looking at it.

And no, it’s not the power tools! 😉

It's the downtime. The 'circuit breaker' - whether it's a quick chat in the office, a wellbeing workshop, or a team gathering for some food and connection right here and beyond.

In our industry, the most critical load-bearing element is the human mind. A mentally fatigued team isn't just unproductive; it's a safety risk. Here at Built Ink, we know that building in time to decompress, learn, and connect is one of the most practical investments we can make in our risk management strategy.

A team that’s mentally sharp spots hazards, communicates clearly, and builds better. Prioritizing wellbeing isn't soft — it's smart business, no matter where the site.

What are you doing this week to check in with your crew?

At Built Ink Pty Ltd, we’re passionate about creating purpose-built industrial spaces that help businesses thrive. One of our recent projects with Rigging Rentals and their new division, MegaTest, is a perfect example of how the right facility can drive growth and efficiency.

With their previous space limiting productivity, Rigging Rentals needed a larger, high-functioning facility to support their expanding rigging and lifting equipment hire business, as well as the launch of Megatest, a game-changer in specialist load testing.

Since moving into their new Built Ink-designed premises, the results speak for themselves:
✅ Increased productivity
✅ Seamless client engagement
✅ A thriving Megatest division
✅ A renewed sense of professionalism and pride

Despite some challenges along the way, our teams worked collaboratively to deliver a facility that fuels their growth today and into the future.
