Melbourne

Established in Glen Iris in 2001, our Melbourne branch serves as BowdenCorp’s head office. In 2019, with the business continuing to grow, we shifted our operations to a new office in Richmond, which incorporates our administration, HR, estimating, and accounts teams. Our Melbourne team currently comprises 60 members who handle all commercial construction projects in Metropolitan Melbourne and Eastern Victoria.

As soon as you walk through our doors, you will be greeted with personal touches, representative of our team’s passion for Surfing and Surf Life Saving. Here at BowdenCorp, we are not just about delivering projects but also staying connected to the communities in which our projects play a significant role in shaping, and ultimately enhancing.
