20 Years of PBC

20 Years of Building Legacies.

For two decades, Premier Building & Construction has stood proudly at the heart of our region, shaping skylines, supporting communities, and building places where people work, connect, and thrive.

What began as a small local builder in 2006 has grown into an award-winning company trusted to deliver projects across Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales, from education and health to commercial, industrial, and community spaces. But our story has never been just about the buildings. It’s about the people, our team, our clients, our partners, and the communities who’ve shared this journey with us.

As we approach our official 20-year anniversary on 31 March 2026, we’re celebrating the moments that built us.
Below we’ll showcase one project for each year we have been operating, a look back at the milestones that defined who we are today and the values that continue to drive us: safety, teamwork, commitment, client dedication, and flexibility.

Read along as we revisit two decades of growth, innovation, and legacy, one project at a time. Here’s to 20 years of building legacies, and to the many more still to come!

2006 | From Humble Beginnings

Project: Corowa Arcade Toilet Block
Size: 50m²
Value: $27,000 + GST
Scope: De-fit and refurbishment of existing arcade public toilets

Every legacy starts somewhere, and for Premier Building & Construction, it began here in 2006.

Our very first project was small in scale but big in significance: a refurbishment of the public toilets in the Corowa Arcade. It was a modest beginning that set the foundations for everything that followed, quality workmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to every project, no matter the size.

From this 50m² job to the complex, multimillion-dollar builds of today, 2006 reminds us that every great journey starts with a single step… and a few tiles.

2007 | A New Purpose on Townsend Street

Project: Townsend Street Commercial Office
Size: 450m²
Value: $403,000 + GST
Scope: Refurbishment of an old auto body repair shop into a modern commercial office suite

In 2007, what once roared with the sound of engines became a space designed for people, ideas, and progress. The Townsend Street project saw an ageing auto repair shed transformed into a fresh, functional commercial office, a clear reflection of our early passion for adaptive reuse and craftsmanship that stands the test of time.

Each project since has carried that same spirit, finding potential in every foundation, and purpose in every build.

2008 | Building Strength in Industry: Smorgon Steel

Project: Smorgon Steel
Area: 1,260m² warehouse (new) + 250m² office refurbishment
Value: $1.006M + GST

In 2008, Premier Building & Construction took a bold step forward into large-scale industrial works with the Smorgon Steel project.
This milestone job saw the extensive demolition and redevelopment of an operational site, including new warehouse construction fitted with overhead gantry cranes, upgraded mains services, and a complete office refurbishment.

It marked a significant leap in capability and confidence for the PBC team, laying the foundations for the complex industrial projects that would follow in years to come.
