“We started with smaller jobs and have built our way up,” he says. “Within about two years, we had about $35 million worth of work on the go and then we peaked at $70 million turnover in 2017 with a shopping center and three other jobs going on at the same time. “After then it slowed down. The market got extremely competitive, and we plateaued out. Then probably a year before covid, the market was getting silly. It was not really viable, so we scaled the business back down to our core guys and had a turnover of about $25-to-30 million a year for this period.” They rode out the economic downturn and the effects of the pandemic. Now, Shaun reports, the company is seeing an increased demand in the retail space. “Now we’re back in the growth mode,” he says. “We have secured a great project at Kardinya Park Shopping Centre and have numerous opportunities currently in for pricing or under negotiation. We’re starting to grow the business back up to where it was in 2017.” Since 2014, Focus have successively delivered over $300 million of diverse and challenging projects for clients and communities, majority of which have been in the retail sector.
