Lowcock Builders Celebrate Success New Building, Same Success

Harnessing four generations and over 100 years of expertise in the building industry, Lowcock Builders have embarked on a new and exciting era with an expansion into a brand-new premise. Pioneering the commercial building space in the Whitsundays and beyond, Lowcock Builders bring their own trademark standard into their new central office space. A striking vision that can easily be spotted from the Bruce Highway in the industrial heart of Bowen, the clean lines and exemplary finish of the building speaks to the style and finesse in which the company complete each project.

Established in 1918, Lowcock Builders are one of North Queensland’s most reputable and trusted commercial builders. With a demonstrated record of local and regional projects across the commercial and industrial sector.

As soon as you walk into the new headquarters, you're immediately struck by the design. The reception area is both stylish and inviting, while the nearby corporate boardroom offers a professional setting. Further inside, you'll find a spacious staffroom/cafeteria, complete with modern appliances.

The first floor features several office spaces and a modern, purpose-built training room. This dedicated training space encompasses Lowcock Builders’ grand vision for upskilling the local construction industry.

Outside the large commercial office space is an open-plan workshop with an extensive storage area, multiple parking zones, washdown facilities, plenty of room for plant and equipment storage, and easy access for large deliveries.

Expanding into this new, highly modern office space illustrates the forward motion of Lowcock Builders and their ability to correctly identify future growth. Previously located on Livingston Street, the company had previously been operating from multiple sites before deciding to centralise operations. Plans for the new building commenced in January 2023 when they purchased the land and construction started in March 2024.

Lowcock Builders is owned and operated by its Director Jack Lowcock and his Compliance Manager wife Jennifer Lowcock with Business Manager Ashlee Denyer and Operations Manager Matt Hildebrandt. Employing a total of 16 local staff with room to expand their team, Lowcock Builders oversee all stages of operations from planning stage to practical completion.

In addition to their main staff, Lowcock Builders work with specialist, highly skilled contractors who they consider to be the top of the various professions.
