Building Expertise,
Driven by Experience
Founded in 1999 by former council building surveyors Brad Burton and Michael Madeira, Group Four was created to modernise the building permit and inspection process. Frustrated by long delays and poor service, they set out to provide a faster, more reliable, more efficient solution for the domestic buildings market.
What began as a small operation in a garage has since grown into a trusted business with offices in Melbourne and Perth and a team of over 50 professionals. Our continued success is a direct result of the trust builders and homeowners place in us for reliable and timely service and our expertise in the design and construction of domestic buildings built up over 25 years in the residential construction industry.
