“Over the past year, we have commenced sourcing geotechnical reports for new dwelling sites from GroundTruth to assist in the design of suitable house plans adapted to suit the particular characteristics of the site. We have found that GroundTruth provide an efficient and timely service, and the reports they provide are both reliable and comprehensive. We look forward to working with GroundTruth on future projects and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending their services.” – John Green, Director, Hotondo Homes Inverell
“Our business is part of a national franchise team that has a hard earned reputation for building high quality homes which carry a lifetime* structural warranty. It’s important for us to use the services of companies, like GroundTruth, that we trust to provide accurate data to our engineer, which in turn allows us to confidently warrant our homes to the end consumer. For several years we have employed the services of GroundTruth along the Coffs Coastline, and in the North West, to provide geotechnical testing and quality data. One thing that stands out for us is that they give advice that makes sense.” - Shane Hearps, Estimating Manager, Integrity New Homes
Safety
We All Go Home
GroundTruth is committed to maintaining the safest possible work environment for our clients, our staff, contractors and the general public.
Our safety system is designed specifically to accommodate its high-risk work activities. We operate under rigid safety procedures and guidelines. Safety is the first concern when planning any project and underlies all decisions made in field.
GroundTruth has a strong record of delivering difficult projects within budget. It achieves its results by planning projects carefully and ensuring its deployment is thorough.
Environment
We Are Locals Too
GroundTruth’s focus is having minimal disturbance to the environment and our sites. Our equipment and standard practices are adapted to have a small green footprint.
Our team is experienced in working with environmental compliances and mitigating any potential risks. Additionally we have alliances with local and interstate providers who complement our practices.
Culture
Regional, Rural, Remote
Whether you are a single home owner in regional Australia, a remote business in the outback, or a Tier 1 company in the city, we value all of our clients. GroundTruth has a great work ethic of starting early and finishing when the job is done. We concentrate on quality workmanship rather than volume numbers.
Working in rural Australia we have found that a lot of companies provide one part of the job and then it’s on to finding another contractor, which can cost a lot of money and take a lot of time; our services show that we don’t just stop at the first stage.
GroundTruth has worked on a number of high profile projects across QLD and NSW and understand the need to ‘fly under the radar’. We offer our clients a unique confidentiality agreement if a project is high risk at either public relations, environmental or industry level.
