Testimonials

My experience with NT Build Staff was fantastic. There work was outstanding especially when they had to deal with difficult people on my behalf. I have been a member of NT Build from the beginning.  Their staff through the years have always been helpful, respectful and polite. Nothing was too hard for them to do, very much appreciated.

The team at NT Build have been really helpful in making sure my time in the NT construction industry has counted towards my long service entitlements. Without their help, I would never have been rewarded for many years of hard work in the Top End in the building industry! I would recommend anyone who’s worked in construction in the NT to reach out and see if you qualify for long service leave.
