Dura commenced operations in Holland in 1855, where the business still continues to play a strong role in the European construction market. Dura’s Australian operations commenced in 1950 and have successfully operated throughout Victoria since.During the 1990’s, through an employee ownership incentive scheme, Dura become a solely Australian owned and operated business, which has since provided sound business results over many years for its Australian owners.
Dura’s core business within the Victorian construction market is in greenfield construction and refurbishment construction works across many industry sectors, including education, civic / municipal, health / aged care and industrial. These works also encompass all associated elements to the construction process, including civil and landscaping works, ovals, playgrounds and other key infrastructure.
What drives us Dura approaches and manages each project with equal commitment and professional care, attention to detail, dedication to quality and strict observance with all stakeholders’ wishes, irrespective of the nature of a project. Through teamwork and partnering, a strong sense of purpose and a commitment to getting it right the first time, Dura continues to be a leader in providing quality professional construction services.
Dura strongly believe that the success of any project is wholly dependent upon the development of a team philosophy amongst all project stakeholders, which provides the catalyst for all stakeholders to be working towards a common goal, and to also enjoy the experience as a project run’s it course.
Dura is strongly driven towards ongoing repeat client work, where our sound project results and constructive attitude towards the construction phase have provided the platform for the development of an extensive client base where repeat work is regularly carried out.

Dura have established a detailed safety management system that meets and exceeds all statutory and regulatory requirements. Modelled from the Master Builders Association of Victoria’s system, our management system is under constant review and is regularly updated as risk mitigation measures are further refined and as regulations change from time to time.
