Farnell Constructions Pty Ltd | 9 to be recognised among peers, and recognised in the community. And for our clients, those awards underpin and reinforce every positive comment they might hear.” At the 2013 MBA Bankwest awards, the company received their most prestigious accolade yet – for Best New Builder. According to Felicity, a lot of the credit for that award goes to their team, which includes their roster of talented subcontractors. Farnell Constructions is a family business, and they like to make sure that family atmosphere extends to tradespeople and suppliers as well. Wherever possible, they also adopt a ‘Local First’ mentality, and hire Bunbury-based individuals and businesses. “We have very good personal relationships with everybody we work with,” Felicity says. “Peter andDamian have somuch history in the town, so those relationships have been built over many years and many situations. A building company is only as good as their subcontractors, and our subcontractors are some of the best in the industry.” SMALL AND STRONG At any given time, Farnell Constructions is working on one or two projects. Moving forward, they aim to grow a little – but while still remaining a small-to-medium sized business, and while still offering the clients the personalised attention that sets their brand apart. “We don’t want to become a mega company,” Felicity says. “Being small is our strength. We’re able to maintain personal relationships – with the clients, the designers and consultants, and the subcontractors.” “People really love it when the person who owns the company is actually building the building,” she concludes. “For Farnell Constructions, that’s always going to be the case.”
