More from the track..
The beginning of the year has long gone - or has the year just started ??
Many Contractors are finding plenty of on going work in New South Wales,Victoria, Queensland & South Australia. Meanwhile it is still very much another story in some of the other States & Territories. Hard times for sure. Good times here and tough times there. Does this sound familiar to some of our more senior folk - I bet it does. Patterns repeat, dont they ?
SitePlant continues to experience good
growth in 2017. Organic growth. The business is now reaching out to many more clients
Australia-wide, including a growing network across the Tasman in New Zealand.
It may be of interest to mention that marketing with Social
Media has proven to be very effective in assisting SitePlant to achieve a higher Page Ranking. Special thanks to Stu at dataNdesigns !
More business owners are now asking SitePlant to
sell their used Plant & Equipment. Plenty more Buyers are finding that they can purchase good used Plant & Equipment at heavily discounted rates. The network grows & grows.
I am always more than happy to chat with any existing clients or potential new customers. Always grateful & always ready to say hello !

Sticking to the track !
One thing is for sure there can never be enough time to write regular Blogs....A bit further down the track and the business keeps on providing me with both an income & enjoyable interesting days that can be very busy and then sometimes a little slow - but I have learnt to take advantage of those quieter periods as they don't seem to hang around for too long !
I still use the title of Formwork Broker or Formwork Brokerage, but the reality is that due to demand and subsequent growth I am now also selling many other types of Plant & Equipment including Concreting Machinery, Scaffolding, Hoists, Cranes and more.
Learning is the key & I am so grateful that I have had and still have the opportunity to do so.
Without my clientele I would have nothing - thank you all for your continued support & custom !!

A bit further down the track
16.10.15I find myself feeling very grateful for having found quite a few satisfied customers over the past 6 - 8 months !
It would have to be a good goal to plan on having all these client's come back to say hello again.
We have been very busy at SitePlant this year as a result of the steady increase in the number of enquiries coming from Buyers & Sellers Australia-wide. Activity has been strong in Melbourne and Sydney with a more recent large spike in activity being seen in Brisbane.
The new look SitePlant website has been revamped and recently published. Obvious cosmetic type changes have been made though importantly some added features should make the site more user friendly. These include being able to show more photos of the equipment for sale !
Now again a chance to say thank you to all our customers. Without you the journey would not continue

Welcome to the SitePlant Blog
4/02/15
In February 2014 I had one thing in mind. I wanted to start out in business as a Formwork Broker.
In February 2015 I do have a lot more things in mind!
It has been a very interesting and challenging jam packed year with plenty of things to learn about the SitePlant business. Today I am still very focussed on business development.
I am very grateful for all the encouragement and support received from many of my valued Client's and my special family. My devoted wife kept me on track during those first few months when times were much tougher.
2015 started very quickly at SitePlant. A hectic week spent in Perth at the beginning of January was followed by a very busy day in Sydney. I seem to remember lots of days then spent in my Office here in Brisbane trying to work out where Xmas disappeared to!
Recent enquiries and sales include Acrowform Slab Formwork, V-Shore and Pafili Frames, Acrow Props, a Boxer Formwork Hoist, a Climbing System, a Bridge Parapet Traveller plus Timber & Plywood.
Finding good used equipment is not easy but some great deals continue to be found all around the Country. The on going results are achieved by utilising and working with SitePlant’s expanding network of Contractors.
Goals for 2015? Growth, yes! Satisfied customers, yes! New ideas and improvements, yes!
I am looking forward to working with existing clients’ and hopefully many other potential customers who will give me the opportunity to deliver the results that matter.

As I served under Mark Stainer for a period (almost) three years through which I enriched both of my technical and professional-practical knowledge of formwork design. And I did observe, the reliable and stable management model in all times. So the ethical responsibility guided me here to say, sincerely ‘’ Thank you Mark Stainer for polishing my Australian formwork design experience‘’.

Having known Mark in the building industry for the past 8 years, I knew his wealth of knowledge and experience would bring him success in his new venture as a broker of construction plant and equipment. I entrusted Mark to assist me in selling a large amount of formwork equipment, of various brands, I had accumulated over the past 10 years as the director of West Coast Formwork. Mark was very professional to deal with from the outset and was realistic in his assessment of the resale value of my equipment. A catalogue was sent to many prospective buyers across Australia within 24 hours of engagement. The interest Mark generated from purchasers came in thick and fast and before too long an offer was made on a large portion of my equipment. The offer was happily accepted and I had the pleasure of meeting the purchaser who seemed as satisfied with the deal as I was. I found Mark a pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend him to any prospective clients. I wish him all the best for the future.

We have purchased significant amounts of material through SitePlant recently and received outstanding professional service throughout the process by the friendly and dedicated staff at SitePlant. Would you highly recommend.

What an absolute pleasure it was to work with Mark Stainer in increasing our business to accommodate our new system. His specialist knowledge of the industry, along with constant consultation, gave me the complete confidence to go ahead with what was quite a substantial purchase. We have now had several done deals with Siteplant Support Services and Mark has been there every single step of the way. I would never have considered using a Broker in the past, but Mark has restored my confidence. You could not meet a more genuine bloke.
