What Savcon Group Pty Ltd does

Savcon Group Pty Ltd is an Australian privately held specialist construction services company founded in 1999 by Mario Savva, headquartered in Turrella, New South Wales. The company delivers two core service lines: (1) mass timber construction, encompassing the design support, supply, and installation of CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber), GLT (Glulam), and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) structures for large-scale building projects; and (2) commercial carpentry, covering internal fit-outs, external cladding, heritage restoration, structural carpentry, and bespoke timber features for premium commercial and public buildings.

The company operates a project-based B2B subcontracting model, engaged by tier-one Australian main contractors (including Lendlease, Built, CPB Contractors, John Holland, Multiplex, Taylor, FDC, Icon, ADCO, Hutchinson, Richard Crookes, Roberts Pizzarotti, Hansen Yuncken, and Shape) for mass timber and carpentry scopes. Its end customers span education (University of Newcastle, University of Tasmania, Macquarie University, NTU Singapore), healthcare (Northern Beaches Hospital, Royal Prince Alfred, Westmead, New Royal Adelaide), public/municipal infrastructure (Gunyama Aquatic Centre, Stromlo Leisure Centre, West Gate Tunnel Project), commercial and hospitality (Crown Casino, Westfield Bondi, CBA Redfern, Atlassian Central, Ovolo Hotels, Taronga Zoo). Savcon uses cmBuilder for virtual construction planning, integrates LOD 400 3D modeling, and relies on a multi-supplier procurement network spanning Australian timber producers (XLam, Australian Sustainable Hardwoods, Big River) and European suppliers (Stora Enso, HESS, KLH, Rubner, Rothoblaas). The company has delivered 100+ projects and holds records including Australia's longest free-spanning mass timber beams (Gunyama, 36m) and was lead contractor on what was the world's largest timber structure at the time of construction (NTU Singapore Gaia, 15,000m3+).
