AUGUST 2025 Green, a significant master-planned precinct in Adelaide’s Norwood suburb. This multi-faceted development includes five six-story apartment buildings, 40 townhouses, a supermarket, and both public and private parks. The project site, once home to an industrial tapware manufacturing plant, was acquired by the government and opened to the market in an expression of interest. Buildtec partnered with local builder Catcorp to secure the project. It Started in late 2018, the project is slated for completion in mid2026. Michael says, “It’s one of those projects that just makes me smile when I drive past it.” The redevelopment is reactivating a significant site near the Adelaide CBD, offering a vibrant mix of residential, retail, and community spaces. Looking ahead, Buildtec has no plans to significantly increase its workforce. Instead, the company aims to maintain its current size while increasing its focus on residential housing to address South Australia’s housing shortage. With over 240 townhouses under contract across four clients, Buildtec is ramping up its residential division, driven by government community housing initiatives. According to Michael, the company will continue to work on some industrial and apartment tower projects but they anticipate that residential townhouses will dominate their portfolio in the coming years. No matter what sector they focus on, however, Michael believes that Buildtec will always be setapart by their unwavering commitment to quality and their equally strong commitment in the South Australian community. When it comes to quality, Michael personally ensures that the company stands by its work and promptly addresses any issues that arise, no matter how rare. “If there happens to be an issue, I’m the first guy to show my face and look the residents in the eye. Of course, we’re going to take care of it.” And when it comes to the community, Buildtec invests in the industry’s future by mentoring young professionals and supporting education pathways. “I love giving the next generation guidance and advising them on the best path to get into the industry.”
