CDK Commercial Construction Pty Ltd (CDK) commenced business in July 2003. CDK is the evolution of a 30 year working relationship of its executive directors, Gerry Cudmore, Peter Day and Julian de Kretser whose careers came together in the 1970's at Prentice Builders and continued into the 1990's with the formation of cdk Tectonics Pty Ltd a company that listed on the ASX in 1997.

cdk Tectonics Limited withdrew from the Melbourne construction scene in 2003 resulting in the birth of the new entity under the direction of old and experienced heads

CDK concentrates in the selected tender market and values amongst its clients many educational and medical institutions both in the public and private sectors. The company aim s to build long term relationships with its clients based on professional competence, trust, the highest ethical standards and teamwork. The directors believe that the key to a successful project outcome is the adoption of a non confrontational attitude from the outset, a concept which at times seems to have been forgotten in our highly litigious and union dominated industry. We aim to blend into the project team comprising client, consultants and users with the main focus being the delivery of a professionally constructed building to the highest standard within the contract time and budget.

Safety Record - We are committed to the provision of a safe working environment in compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The company has a policy of ensuring all staff members and employees are trained in the practice of Occupational Health and Safety to the levels demanded of the building and construction industry and are kept up to date with the ever changing and evolving codes of practice and regulations as these are developed. Any changes to our O.H. & S. Policy are considered at company board level monthly with remedies and continual improvement as the company's primary objective. We have not had any days lost due to site injuries since June 2003.

Quality Assurance - We offer Quality Assurance Management Practices on our projects, and have done so in the past on projects such as the Frankston Hospital Rehabilitation project, Box Hill Hospital and Royal Melbourne Hospital Redevelopments. Our systems ensure that the client receives the highest standard of finish.

Employee Relations - We enjoy an excellent relationship with our employees and encourage them to enhance their skills through ongoing training. Strict adherence to Industry Regulations, Codes of Practice and Statutory requirements minimises the grounds for industrial disputation, and the company maintains an open and cordial dialogue with the relevant union organisers.
