The Maben Edge.
‘We’re driven by the legacy of leaving behind good buildings.’
Damien Marasco Maben Intro
For over a decade, Maben has been challenging larger and more established construction companies for an increasing share of top-end business.
As well as having energy and drive on our side and a true passion for the business, we offer a number of clear points-of-difference other organisations can’t match.
Over the following pages, the directors of our company discuss and explore ‘the Maben edge’.
‘When a construction business is managed with strong values at the core, it translates into quality buildings.’
Ben Pedersen ‘We’ve built a company our clients can depend on, every bit as good as the largest in the market, but more inventive and accessible. We plan to stay agile, light and hungry.’
Ben Pedersen Founder/Director Focus Focus
The primary focus at Maben is on complex commercial high-end construction.
The majority of our work comes from the retail sector that demands a premium product delivered with maximum time efficiencies and economies.
We have also undertaken a number of innovative and challenging office developments and unique residential projects that call for exceptional quality, detail and finish.
Our clients have included companies such as Woolworths, GPT, Challenger, AMP Capital, Coles, Sussan Group, Frasers Property, Stockland and MAB Corporation.
A keen appreciation and understanding of good architecture and design has always informed our work and lead to successful collaborations with some of Australia’s finest architects.
A high level of client satisfaction means Maben continues to grow on repeat business, referral and reputation.
‘We’ve got both the capacity and the tenacity to always deliver a great project and outcome for everyone involved, regardless of project scale - that’s what
we do.’
Ben Pedersen Residential / Mixed Use, South Melbourne 2013 Hotham Street ‘Maben is a company where all eyes are on the delivery of the client’s project. The directors aren’t twice removed.
Our people and our clients see us onsite, involved in every key decision.’
