Willetton Senior High School has been awarded the top prize at the West Australian Architecture Awards.

The Hassle designed building was awarded the George Temple Pool Award for its significant contribution to the advancement of educational architecture in Western Australia.

The Jury representing the Australian institute of Architects said “The project embodies architecture at the service of its community with its ability to enrich the lives of students, teachers and staff who use the buildings”.

Tyrone Group carried out the masonry package as well as the many intricate brick features in the new facility which sits on the existing 1970’s campus.

Tyrone Group is excited to announce the launch of a brand-new product into Western Australia called the ‘Beton Interlocking Block’ which was originally created and is sold extensively across Europe.
The product is a repositionable stacking system whereby the blocks firmly interlock without the use of mortar. The system has limitless construction uses and is ideal for either temporary or permanent building structures and can be used multiple times. The blocks can be manufactured in a wide variety of colours and finishes and can also be made with recycled concrete if required. Beton Blocks are now available for either sale or rent and we also offer supply and Install packages.

We have moved premises to 9 Mumford Place, Balcatta, WA 6021. Exciting times ahead!

Tyrone Group is excited to officially launch a one year Traineeship, Certificate II in Building & Construction with our three new recruits - Jordan, Tony & Tyrell.

Each trainee will spend time working with all of our divisions (Bricklaying, Formwork, Concrete & Rendering) over the next 12 months which will help them decide which Trade Apprenticeship to choose thereafter.

We are delighted to be able to provide these young enthusiastic guys the chance to really understand each trade before making any big decisions which will impact their future careers.

Our team of Supervisors in conjunction with Steve Thomas from Train & Retain will mentor and support each individual, ultimately assisting the Australian economy with ensuring we have the skills base we need to help the construction industry grow in the future.

Good luck lads!
