What Jako Industries does

Jako Industries is a Western Australian mechanical contracting company founded in 1972 by brothers Vic and Peter Jakovich, headquartered at a purpose-built manufacturing facility at 12 Sabre Crescent, Jandakot. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, installs, commissions, and maintains HVAC systems, mechanical ventilation, dust extraction, laboratory installations, and acoustic enclosures entirely in-house, serving healthcare, education, aged care, commercial, hospitality, retail, industrial, mining, oil and gas, and defence/government clients across Western Australia. Its core offering spans turnkey project delivery (engineering and production, project management, and commissioning) plus a recurring service and maintenance arm with 24/7/365 emergency callout and data centre HVAC management established in 1999.

Operationally, Jako is organized into three integrated service lines: Engineering and Production (in-house computerized sheet metal fabrication and custom HVAC component manufacturing since 1972), Project Management (disciplined tender-based delivery for tenders up to multi-million-dollar scope), and Service and Maintenance (ongoing servicing and emergency breakdown for existing clients). Revenue is generated through fixed-price quotations, tender proposals for project work, and recurring service/maintenance contracts with existing clients. Pricing is quote-based, GST-exclusive, with 30-day payment terms and 30-day quotation validity. The company holds ISO 9001 (1995), ISO 14001 (2021), and ISO 45001 (2021) certifications and maintains Master Builders Association and Chamber of Commerce memberships.

The business is privately held and family-owned with no institutional investors or parent company, employs 51-100 staff, and operates exclusively within Western Australia. Projects are secured via direct enterprise field sales, tender processes, builder and consultant specifications, and long-term preferred contractor relationships (Woolworths, Coles). Notable contract wins include the $21M AUD St John of God Murdoch Redevelopment, $12.5M AUD Aloft Hotel, $8M AUD Rockingham and Kwinana Hospital, $5M AUD Harbour Town Shopping Complex, and the $4M AUD UWA Biological Sciences Library, alongside multi-decade defence and government work including Garden Island, Broome Police, Casuarina Prison, and Woodside Pluto.
