TROY KING: BUILDERS CHOICE

Up Close + Personal with Troy King of BE Projects

So, how did you get started in the construction industry?

With a passion for tech drawing and maths I started my career in civil engineering, having graduated from Curtin University of Technology. During my time as a civil engineer, some of the projects I worked on included the Jandakot Airport redevelopment and the Glenariff Estate project.

I later moved into construction working as a foreman and consultant and to project management. I really enjoyed seeing projects come to life and transforming concepts into reality for clients. Prior to starting my own business, some of the jobs I handled included project management and site supervision on the Perth Convention Centre Auditorium, Harbour Town and the first roll out of the Department of Building and Works BER packages.

In 2010 you founded your company BE Projects with colleague Dennis Beard. What made you decide to start your own business?

I have a passion for construction and seeing the design develop into reality. I had so many ideas I wanted to implement to add a difference to both the product I delivered as well as to contributing to building industry develop a professional pathway for young people and trades.

Dennis, who is an established builder in Perth, was on board with the idea and over the last five years we have made steady growth to incorporate strong values and I believe we have a great recipe for success in the industry.
