Reitsma Constructions

What Reitsma Constructions does

Reitsma Constructions is a privately held commercial construction company founded in 1973 and headquartered in Seven Hills, NSW, Australia, with additional offices in Newcastle (Redhead) and Wollongong (Warilla). The company delivers commercial building projects across education, aged care, automotive, retail, industrial, heritage, and church sectors, with typical contract values ranging from $1 million to $20 million. It serves enterprise and government clients primarily in New South Wales through a tender-based go-to-market, targeting organizations such as Sydney Catholic Schools, Central Coast Grammar School, McCarroll's Automotive Group, Alto Group, Baptistcare, and Mosman Council. The company is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified and has received multiple Master Builders Association NSW Excellence in Construction Awards (2014, 2017, 2018).

Reitsma operates a multi-division model. The core commercial construction business handles major projects across vertical sectors, while the Reitsma RFM (Refurbishment, Fitout & Maintenance) sub-brand, launched in September 2017 under Director Matt van Bentum, targets smaller-scale live-environment projects primarily in Sydney. A separate Small Works and Interiors Division was established in 2014. The company has invested in operational infrastructure including a 700m² purpose-built head office (2017), a cadet program for talent development, and long-standing architecture firm partnerships with Neeson Murcutt, Centric, NBRS, SHAC, and Stanton Dahl.

Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts including design and construct arrangements, with pricing negotiated per project based on scope and complexity. The CFO appointment in June 2018 cited a forecast turnover reaching $100 million for that financial year. The company continues to actively bid on and win projects through 2026 across automotive and education sectors, with repeat business from anchor clients indicating sustained pipeline activity. The ownership structure appears family-influenced (suggested by the Reitsma surname), with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company.
