Nick is heavily involved throughout the project lifecycle from the tender phase, through planning, programming, delivery and completion of the project with constant contact and feedback.

NA Group have initiated and implemented high levels of safety within the culture of the company and staff. Their work in road construction and maintenance focuses on the safety of employees and road users during the construction phase of all projects completed with Downer Infrastructure. This focus on safety has led to NA Group receiving safety awards, most recently receiving the Downer contractor safety award in late 2011.

NA Group has put in place procedures that ensure all aspects of road and civil works are delivered with minimum confusion and fuss. These include appropriate environmental, drug and alcohol, equal opportunity, and relevant work health and safety policies that align with Downer Infrastructure’s policies.

VBA JV Sydney commenced service delivery on 31 March 2014. In addition, VBA JV has constructed over $75 million in road improvement works on behalf on Roads and Maritime to date.

Since the inception of the contract, NA Group has been a key service provider for VBA JV. Their areas of expertise have included road construction and civil works but they are more than willing to assist wherever possible. When required for Incident Response, they are dependable, competent and professional. They are proactive with supplying solutions, and exemplify the teamwork value of VBA JV with valuable contributions to our WHS&E systems.

NA Group’s solid commitment to safety, efficiency, quality and environment has been evident in the incident free completion of many key projects. They have an excellent safety system, giving confidence in their ability to not only complete works on time and to specification, but most importantly, to ensure that everyone goes home safely. This requirement is non-negotiable by VBA JV and NA Group has not disappointed.

Their professional, can-do attitude has been a vital element in maintaining the high standards demanded by VBA JV and our client, NSW Roads and Maritime Services. NA Group Director Nick Argyropoulos leads from the front with a personal oversight of and involvement in all work undertaken for the joint venture. This accountability is reflected in the culture and work ethic of all NA Group staff.

I regard NA Group more as a partner than a subcontractor in their attitude and approach to innovation. I unreservedly recommend them to any business seeking the highest standards in roads and civil works contractors.
