ABOUT HIGHRISE

About Highrise

Highrise Building Services, established in 1990 in Victoria, originally specialized as a scaffold company.  As the demand for enhanced public safety measures over footpaths evolved, Highrise developed its own sophisticated gantry system utilizing structural steel components.  This groundbreaking design allowed for increased spans and robust load-bearing capabilities, resulting in the establishment of Highrise Gantries.

Over the course of the past 20+ years, Highrise has diligently refined its gantry system to its present state of excellence.  This exceptional solution has garnered wide acclaim from prominent commercial builders in Victoria and Queensland, including esteemed names such as Brookfield Multiplex, Bovis Lendlease, L.U Simon, Grocon, Equiset, Hamilton Marino, Walton, Kane, and the Hacer Group.  Their unwavering trust in our services has propelled the widespread adoption of our gantry system throughout the bustling metropolis of Melbourne and Brisbane.

In a noteworthy development 15+ years ago, a prominent builder in Brisbane urgently sought a gantry system capable of accommodating scaffolding and on-site facilities.  Highrise promptly answered the call, successfully delivering and erecting expansive gantries for their major project situated in the Brisbane CBD.  Demonstrating utmost satisfaction with the results, the builder promptly engaged Highrise for another gantry installation on a subsequent significant undertaking, mere months later.

With each successful project, the remarkable capabilities of our gantry system attracted considerable attention, prompting a surge in inquiries from discerning industry professionals.  Recognizing the tremendous potential in the thriving Brisbane market, Highrise astutely decided to establish a dedicated storage facility in the city approximately 14 years ago.  Since then, we have been continuously engaged in erecting and dismantling gantries for esteemed builders in and around Brisbane and the Gold Coast.  Our esteemed Queensland clientele boasts notable names such as Grocon, Laing O’Rourke, Hutchinson Builders, Glenzeil, Thiess, and Matrix, among others.  The widespread utilization of our system within the construction industry exemplifies its unrivaled reputation and unwavering trust placed in our capabilities.  For further insights into our esteemed company credentials, we invite interested parties to explore our comprehensive website.
