Subject: Baulderstone Hornibrook becomes Baulderstone
Construction giant Baulderstone Hornibrook has adopted its more common industry label
and renamed itself Baulderstone as part of a national rebranding campaign to refresh the
companys decade-old look and feel.
The move comes as the company experiences marked growth across both its building and
civil engineering portfolios.
Managing Director, Rick Turchini says: Baulderstone was born in 1985 of the union between
two trusted names in Australian construction, MR Hornibrook and AW Baulderstone. We
respect this rich heritage, and remain dedicated to Creating what matters as our unique
vision for our company.
Over the course of its 80 year history, the company has been responsible for creating some
of the countrys most recognisable infrastructure landmarks including the world heritage-
listed Sydney Opera House, Brisbanes Story Bridge, Melbournes Telstra Dome and
Western Link, Sydneys Anzac Bridge, Perths Graham Farmer Freeway and Adelaides
recently completed Sir Keith Murdoch Building, the home of the Adelaide Advertiser and
birthplace of News Corporation, to name but a few.
As rationale for the change, Mr Turchini adds: We believe it is important that we
demonstrate our willingness to live up to our heritage and our proud track-record of
achievement in construction and continue to innovate, evolve and grow. Our new brand
reflects our straightforward approach to solving problems and delivering sustainable
solutions for our clients, and the community.
Baulderstone is currently undertaking major civil engineering projects across the country and
in Vietnam, including the Port Botany expansion in Sydney and North South Bypass Tunnel
in Brisbane, as well as building projects that include the new Crown Casino hotel complex in
Melbourne and City Central Towers 1 and 2 in Adelaide.
Baulderstone is one of Australias largest building and civil engineering companies, with
operations in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, the Australian Capital Territory,
