Our History

2010

In 2010, Advanced Property Construction was passed from grandfather to grandson, marking the start of a new chapter. With deep respect for the family’s legacy, Peter and his brother-in-law, Adrian took on the responsibility of modernising the business while staying true to its heritage.

2010-2015

From 2010 to 2015, we focused on building with a more hands on approach. During these years, we were not just on the tools but also working behind the scenes to strengthen industry connections and organically grow the business. It was a time of hard work and steady progress, laying the foundation for everything that was to come.

2015-2019

Between 2015 and 2019, we started to really find our niche in custom homes, renovations, and extensions. This transition allowed us to cater to clients who were looking for bespoke designs and quality craftsmanship. It was during this time that we really began to make our mark, building great relationships with our architects and trades.

2019

2019 was a milestone year for APC Build. Peter Lo Bartolo was named the MBAV Young Master Builder of the Year, a reflection of his leadership and vision. That same year, APC Build won the Master Builders Australia National Award for Best Renovation/Addition in the $750K–$1M category. These achievements bolstered our commitment to excellence in every project we undertook.

2019-2022

The arrival of COVID-19 brought challenges for the entire construction industry, but we stood firm. Between 2019 and 2022, APC Build supported small businesses and trades, continuing to deliver high-quality builds, despite the obstacles. These years tested our resilience, but we adapted and emerged stronger.

2022-2024

From 2022 to 2024, we entered a new phase of growth and recognition. APC Build earned multiple MBAV and HIA awards, further solidifying our reputation in the architectural build space. Our dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and client satisfaction was acknowledged across the industry, driving us forward with even more momentum.

2024

The launch of APC Studio & re-fresh of APC Build see us excitedly enter our next chapter. Let’s go!
