Top five projects Hickory are building in Melbourne in 2021
Established in 1991, Hickory has steadily evolved from a family-owned company to a nationwide group of construction specialists.
One of Australia’s leading construction groups, Hickory has forged a reputation as an innovative and dynamic company with a commitment to environmental sustainability.
Unlike many other construction companies, Hickory prides themselves on their role as project builders.
The company is self-performing of over 60 per cent of the work on their construction projects, including structure, carpentry and façade, enabling them greater control over the project’s cost and schedule.
