WHO WE ARE
On 1 June 1965, BRD Industries was formed – a product of a joint partnership between Dino Belia and Reg Burubu. Since then, BRD has gone on to achieve an excellent reputation as a trusted provider and specialist concrete structure contractor within the Victorian construction industry while cementing strong client relationships along the way.
50 years on, BRD is now armed with extensive experience, having completed over 2,000 major commercial projects. Our illustrious portfolio focuses mainly in the Melbourne Metropolitan area but we don’t just go further in providing the best solutions and customer service. We go the distance too – that means taking on projects in country Victoria when required.
