OUR BEGINNINGS

TOTAL’s first Self Storage building project was a collaboration with Kennards Self Storage at Erina, NSW in 1994. The success of this partnership led to the continuous build by TOTAL of over 100 Kennards Self Storage projects throughout New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia.

TOTAL’S IMPACT ON SELF STORAGE IN AUSTRALIA

As an early pioneer in Self Storage constructions, we were part of the collaboration to help challenge and change the thinking of building codes and council control plans which allowed the designs and feasibilities to be more aligned with Self Storage requirements.

These include parking, structural loading, fire services and many other elements that suit the uniqueness of Self Storage builds. These changes, subsequently eased approval processes and propelled the Self Storage building industry in Australia.

SELF STORAGE TODAY

With over 200 Self Storage projects completed, totalling over half a billion dollars in contract value, we continually sharpen our Self Storage intelligence, experience and capability.

With or without plans, TOTAL delivers construction feasibility studies and concepts. Our clients value this intelligence to inform investment decisions at the initial planning stage of a project.

Testimonials

The recent facility fit out works Total Construction carried out for European Catering was conducted with utmost professionalism. From the first initial contact, working with Total Construction’s, Food and Beverage Division has been a pleasure. Total’s approach to being along for the journey with their clients was both true and beneficial. Numerous meetings were conducted regularly and professionally to ensure that every party was on the same page and up to date on details. Throughout the process Total supplied our organisation and myself with comprehensive designs, advice, quotes, scope of works, and the rest works conducted was to the highest standard. In closing, European Catering is delighted to have the opportunity to work with Total Construction and hope we have the pleasure to work together again at some stage in the future.

TOTAL Construction successfully completed the design completion and construction of stage 1 of Central Park’s Central Thermal Plant (CTP) and Tri-generation facility. Being the first of its kind in Australia for a mixed precinct, this project was highly complex and had many challenging aspects from commencement to completion. TOTAL Construction ‘stepped up to the plate’ and produced a high quality, reliable plant, which now serves over 1,400 apartments and 13,500m2 of retail space. TOTAL’s attitude, commitment and willingness to provide a quality outcome for all stakeholders is one of the reasons why we awarded the second and final stage of the CTP to TOTAL Construction. We look forward to a long and rewarding relationship.

I choose to work with Total for their standout knowledge of the Self Storage Industry, they have the background and the experience, and I have dealt with them for a number of years in other businesses and as an owner for several builds and projects that are currently in the pipeline. Total are great in the way they collaborate. They are open and talk about solutions. A deal is a deal with them, they get through problems faster and we get through builds quicker. With our North Lakes Coomera and Pimpama projects Total exceeded our expectations, great quality projects, delivered on time and to budget. I have recommended Total in the past and will continue to do so.
