The management team behind grounded
In 2013, Paul recognised an opportunity for remote construction within the ever-growing mining and resources sector in Western Australia. After coming up with the idea while having a beer with friends, Paul set out to build a team of experienced personnel and tradesman to turn his dream into a reality. Since then, Paul has had the opportunity to work and develop long-standing relationships with many up-and-coming mining companies along with some of the major players in the industry.

We hired Grounded to plan and construct our Paris Grove Accommodation Village in Australind, WA. Market conditions for lithium created multiple challenges, which could have derailed the project.
