Designed for Living. Built for Belonging.

Every project is an opportunity to create something that adds value long after construction is complete. That's the commitment we make to every client, partner and community we work with.

We believe the best developments come from taking responsibility for the entire journey. By developing, building and managing our projects, we maintain control over the decisions that matter, protect the integrity of the original vision and create places that are thoughtfully designed, carefully delivered and managed to perform well into the future.

It's an approach that has shaped Big Projects since John Barrett founded the business in 1980.

What began as a family business has evolved into an integrated property group with more than four decades of experience across development, construction and property management. While the business has grown, the philosophy hasn't. We still believe the best outcomes come from staying involved, assembling the right people around every project and taking ownership of the result.

Today, that legacy continues through a team committed to creating places that respond to their surroundings, strengthen the communities they're part of and stand the test of time. Because for us, success isn't measured by what we build, but by the value those places continue to create for the people who live, work and connect within them.

Managing Director

"I believe the best developments are created by understanding the communities they're part of. Every Big Projects development is shaped with a long-term perspective—creating places that add value for the people who live, work and connect there for years to come."

Project Director

"The best projects don't happen by accident. They come from asking the right questions early, making thoughtful decisions throughout the journey and never losing sight of the people you're creating them for."
