Who We Are

The Same Family Business, Grown

35 years of looking after Victorian buildings, and the same people still answer the phone.

Building Services in Victoria Since 1991

TCM started in 1991 as a Victorian family business doing mechanical services. Three and a half decades later we're considerably larger, covering fire, mechanical and electrical, in-house design and delivery, and more than 600 organisations across over 5,000 locations.

What hasn't changed is how the place runs. We're still family-owned, now under a bigger banner with the extra capability that brings. Our management team came up through the business rather than in from outside. Most of them started in the field, and several have been here longer than some of our clients' buildings have been standing.

That continuity is why clients stay. You're not passed between account managers, and the person who knows your site is still here next year.

What We Hire For

We hire on values first and train the rest. These aren't aspirational. They're the actual filter.

Safety First

Everyone goes home. Our people, your occupants, the contractors working alongside us. Nothing gets traded against it.

Invested in Delivering Our Best

Your problem is our problem. We don't hand things back half-solved or explain why it's somebody else's scope.

We Honour the Truth

We'll tell it as it is. If the news is bad, or the answer costs money, you'll hear it early rather than conveniently late.

Engage Your Brain

Every problem has a solution. We'd rather think it through than quote around it.

A Bloody Good Attitude

The most reliable, sincere and courteous people you'll have on your site. It sounds soft. It's the thing clients mention most.

Pride in Who We Are

Work we'd put our name on, because we do.

Over 40 directly employed specialists across fire, mechanical and electrical, with more than two million hours of combined industry experience. We don't subcontract. Every person on your site works for us, which is why our safety and quality records stay consistent.

Qualified, Certified and Accountable

We're active members of the Fire Protection Association Australia (Gold Member), AIRAH, AMCA and the Victorian Building Authority, with staff sitting on industry committees. That means we see regulatory change coming rather than reacting to it.

Our Guarantee

When you work with TCM you can rely on quality work, clear communication and complete accountability. If something isn't right, we fix it.

Work With Us

We hire for attitude and values, then build the technical skill. If that sounds like how you'd want to work, we'd like to hear from you, including from apprentices and people early in their trade.

Most of our leadership started in the field here. That path is still open.
