Why Varner

Varner is an established provider of commercial concrete contracting works to the resources and public sectors in Western Australia.

Challenging conditions are where we do our best work. We’re proud of our hard earned reputation for delivering projects on-time, on-budget and always to specification.

Our origins in engineering has bred a culture that places integrity to specification and design at the heart of our methodology. 

Concrete is a finish – durability is a design.

Quality Assurance is a point of commercial advantage. We’ve invested in robust Quality Control mechanisms, backed by a dedicated QA team headed by experienced leaders that pride themselves on adherence to detail and specification.

Our focus from project award is ensuring that engineering and design specification are achievable, and that project planning is structured to ensure that full compliance with documentation and sequencing are always aligned. 

Our difference

Commercial and industrial concrete works are challenging by nature. Attracting, retaining and developing talent in the industry is difficult. Conditions are subject to myriad variables. Quality is often sacrificed for expediency.

Varner takes the pain away.

We are a lean, highly skilled and experienced team who prioritises placing downward pressure on risk - through works planning, resourcing and integration.

We resolve design and specification conflicts before we ever step foot on-site. We understand that the majority of project risk is non-technical. Our quality assurance is driven by our approach to understanding the project brief.

We say what we'll do.

Then do what we say.

"At Varner we pride ourselves at delivering for our clients. We talk up when we need to. We have our heads down the rest of the time. Our difference? We've invested in quality assurance.

We get the job done. The job will last."

the Varner family

Partners

As we’ve grown over time, our business has evolved to meet the growing needs of WA’s infrastructure development.

Varner+ was created to help us help our clients get the most out of our services – helping us to provide plant and equipment solutions through secure supply chains. 

Construction contractors get caught out when they have supply chains that let them down, or when they can’t prioritise investing in their security.

Our strategic partnerships with SRS Plant Hire and eco plant and hire mean that we’ve always got access to all the plant and machinery that modern construction sites need.

These partnerships make us a powerful operator when we are on-site, but are also available more broadly to our clients. We can provide large-scale conventional plant and equipment hire through SRS, with the versatility to provide hybrid and eco-friendly options to help clients meet their ESG commitments. We’re one family, that can delivery multiple services through one port of call. We call it Varner+, and what it means for our clients is simple. 

More options. Less risk. Less mess.
