It's completed more than $400 million worth of building projects but hasn't been able to withstand the post-pandemic financial pressures.
The Central Coast-based firm called in Jonathon Keenan, Andrew Cummins and Peter Krejci from BRI Ferrier as administrators on Monday morning, who are now looking at whether to restructure or sell the business.
Work on all 10 of the company's projects has been temporarily suspended, but the 40 staff employed by Stevens Construction have not been stood down, a spokesperson told 9news.com.au."The administrators will work closely with the Stevens Construction team as we investigate what has occurred and seek to identify options that may be available to clients, employees, subcontractors and suppliers of the company," Keenan said.
Stevens is the latest in a long list of construction businesses that have fallen into administration or collapsed entirely since the pandemic, with supply chain disruptions, skilled worker shortages and high material costs all contributing factors. "The construction industry has faced significant challenges since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic," the company said in a statement on its website.According to its website, it has a project portfolio worth more than $400 million, primarily commercial and retail buildings but also several residential apartment blocks.
