Arriving on the scene with a fresh approach to building car parks, PARKD takes the lead in prefab innovation
Robert Martin’s experience spans more than 20 years and he brings a “proven entrepreneurial and commercial skillset”.
PARKD Ltd (ASX:PKD) has strengthened its board through the appointment of Robert Martin, who has more than 20 years of experience in the mining services, supply chain and capital market sectors.
The new non-executive director’s appointment is effective on March 1, 2019.
With PARKD’s rich and growing pipeline of customer inquiries, the company says the appointment will assist its efforts to prioritise and convert these opportunities with a key focus on contract negotiation and assisting with geographic expansion.
A PERTH Mazda dealership has become the second dealer to contract Parkd Ltd to build a pre-cast, demountable structure to expand its showroom and car parking footprint.
Bayswater Mazda, owned by Singapore-based Eurokars Group, has given the go-ahead for Parkd to design and build a $2 million three-level car park and two-level showroom.
PARKD Ltd (ASX:PKD) has secured another transportable car park win in Western Australia, signing a contract to build a car park for the Bayswater Mazda caryard near Perth Airport.
The Australian-listed company said the three-storey car park contract was worth $2 million, with the structure to include about 190 bays.
Peter McUtchen is the CEO of a relatively new business called Parkd. It’s a construction business with a difference: it builds modular car parks. They have invented a new way of creating concrete spans and that’s the IP of the business. Alan Kohler spoke to Peter to find out more.
The business completed its project last month at a car dealership in Subiaco – a process which saw it build a multi-level parking facility in four weeks.
But McUtchen says while there’s plenty of enthusiasm for the idea, harnessing that and translating it to actual projects is where the real work begins.
INNOVATIVE car-park construction company Parkd Ltd has finished its pre-fabricated two-level parking area and dealership service area in Perth in six weeks.
The company, chaired by former Automotive Holdings Group Ltd managing director Bronte Howson, built the car park project – its first – with two levels and 49 bays, for City Subaru in Perth.
Parkd has this month followed that with a bid for a $9 million contract to build a multi-storey, 389-bay car park located in inner-city Perth.
Perth company Parkd has struck a deal with property developer Vector Management to evaluate construction of a $9 million car park. The proposed multi-storey, 389-bay car park would be the second for which listed on the ASX last year. Vector is planning to establish a syndicate of investors to fund the project, at an unnamed inner-city location. Parkd will be paid a fee to provide the initial design, consulting and feasibly work to validate the project & commercial viability. Managing director Peter McUtchen said “Parkd would utilise its innovative construction process to minimise material expense and construction time by pre-fabricating the car park & lighter concrete components off-site.”
