PRT Construction is an Adelaide based construction company that specialises in commercial and residential aged care developments.

The company brings the experience, capability and resources required for a range of building works. Nigel Benson has earned a reputation for expertise in construction, skills in project management and trusted relationships with clients and contractors.
As PRT Construction, we intend to set a benchmark in aged care refurbishment in the South Australian market.

Existing associations have seen PRT Construction more recently venture into the Western Australian market at the request of an existing client to refurbish five retirement living sites.

Backed by more than 20 years’ experience in aged care developments, PRT Construction has a strong understanding of the sector’s particular needs, such as complying with legislative requirements, meeting health and safety obligations, and ensuring minimal disruption for residents.

Our management experience spans projects on low- and high-care facilities through to smaller projects including refurbishments of independent living units.

PRT have been actively involved in the Inspection, Detection and Repair of roof trusses and cut roofs since the fatal roof collapse at the Riverside Golf Club in 2003.

Since the collapse PRT Construction have been working closely with Adelaide’s leading Engineers including forensic Engineer Mr John Goldfinch (FMG Engineers) and Mr Peter Graham (Conceptio Pty Ltd)

THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCE

Since the collapse hundreds of trusses have been inspected and repaired by PRT Construction ( formally PRT Fabrication & Consulting ) establishing us as the most qualified repairers in Australia.

In 2003 PRT was commissioned to carry out random inspection of 140 units out of a total of 1300 owned by our client. The audit survey encompassed four states, 13 different sites, trusses from various fabricators and suppliers in all types of climates and built over a period of 15 years using both Hardwood and Softwood. As a result repairs were made in all states of Australia.

Roofs of all shapes and size varying from the smallest roof 50m2 to the largest 7500m2 continue to be repaired. As a result PRT continue to be the leader in roof structure repair and or replacement and the preferred contractor’s choice of leading engineers.
