History and Growth
BMT is managed by three directors namely Brendan Farrugia, Tom Plenty and Bradley Beer, providing an Australia wide service. BMT has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Newcastle, Adelaide, Perth, Gold Coast, Cairns and Canberra.
BMT commenced business in 1997 with offices in Sydney and Newcastle. The demand from investors in Victoria and Queensland lead to the opening of offices in each capital city. In recent years the amount of return clients investing in property throughout Australia has lead to further offices opening in Adelaide, Canberra and Perth. In recent times, explosive growth in the Queensland property market has seen BMT open two additional offices – in Cairns and Southport.
Staff numbers have grown accordingly, with over 90 full time staff now employed throughout Australia. BMT believe the repeat business from property investors, real estate agents, accountants and the like is testament to the product and service delivered. After more than 11 years in the industry, BMT have exceeded all expectations of growth, customer service and reporting standards.
We believe our dramatic growth is the best demonstration of our commitment to our clients and alliances, as we have grown based on repeat business and a solid referral base. No mergers, acquisitions or franchising of the business have helped ensure that the commitment to our clients and referrals has remained our primary focus.
In 2008, BMT & ASSOC divided into 2 entities – BMT & ASSOC and BMT Tax Depreciation. This was done so that BMT could better service our clients’ needs on both sides of the business.
Our Competitive Edge
As quantity surveyors in a competitive market place, it is imperative that BMT stay ahead of competitors through constant innovation and a focus on continually improving our systems and people. It is this, along with our customer service excellence and national service coverage, which places BMT as one of the fastest growing and most successful Quantity Surveyors in the Australian marketplace today.
Our mission is to exceed the expectations of our clients through our desire to be uncompromising in quality. Achieving our vision depends upon skilled, professional employees who understand our clients and their changing property needs.
This is met with continuing education, the latest applications in IT resources and marketing tools, with our aspiration to be at the top of our field.
