Established in 1987, DCOH is a proudly Territory owned and operated business.
We love the Northern Territory. Whether we are managing hotels or constructing multi-level high rises, our purpose remains the same – to ‘Build Better’ across Developments, Construction, Operations and Hospitality (DCOH).
For almost 40 years, multi-award winning DCOH has been building the NT, growing from a small local roofing business into one of the most dynamic, multi-faceted construction and property focussed organisations in the region. We are always innovating, always adapting, and always striving for excellence in everything we do.
Exceeding expectations is important to us, and the quality of our work starts with our people. Our team are chosen for their professional ability, their pursuit of excellence, their dedication to our region and their capacity to build strong and enduring relationships. Every employee of DCOH is valued. We believe that when we look after our people, our people will look after you, our clients.
