Commitment
Working With Our Clients
We are committed to sharing our expertise to ensure designs not only look great on paper, they are practical and cost effective to build. All stakeholders are benefitted from our proactive approach to working with consultants, engineers, project managers and site personnel to plan and design successful projects.
Safety
Safety First, no matter what! Safety is our first and highest priority and is never negotiable. At AFD Contracting we lead the way in being proactive to adopt and set industry best practices and standards. We treat safety practically and ensure it is ingrained in our culture. To us safety is about more than paperwork and compliance, it is ensuring risks are controlled as far as practicable so we are not exposed to harm.
Our Safety Management System has been developed based on AS4801 and the strict requirements of our clients. We have taken best practices and other learnings from mining environments and applied them to all areas of our operations. Our Safety Management System has received approval from Rio Tinto, Programmed Facility Management, Western Power and numerous large building companies.

Quality
At AFD Contracting we set the highest standards for quality. Quality is never compromised, we never take short cuts and we pride ourselves on our reputation for the highest quality of product and workmanship. Only work which is completed to 100% quality is considered good enough.
Rather than being the cheapest we provide the best value for money for our clients by ensuring all work is done right the first time, and will stand the test of time. We use our own quality management plans as well as our clients’ to ensure we exceed quality compliance requirements.
