Five Group

The Industry Benchmark for Professional Construction Services

About Us

Five Group, with its head office based in Perth, WA, is the parent entity for a group of subsidiary engineering, surveying, and architectural drafting companies throughout Australia and South East Asia.

Our initial vision was to expand our first company, Structerre Consulting, geographically to provide engineering services nationally. Beginning in 1980, the company expanded its reach nationally through a number of strategic acquisitions. As we continued to grow, a Board of Directors were nominated and the Five Group subsequently evolved.

Further expansion of the Five Group led to establishing a presence throughout Australia and diversifying our industry exposure by adding surveying and architectural drafting to the mix.

Fast forward to 2023 and our vision now is to not just be a provider of professional services, but to be an industry benchmark, with elite national brands providing exceptional service and experiences.

With that vision in mind, Five Group continue to seek opportunities that fundamentally and culturally fit within the business models that exist within all companies of the Five Group.

Meet Our Board

Gervase Purich

Managing Director

Gervase has over 40 years of experience in the field of Engineering, Construction and Management.

Having established Structerre Consulting in 1980, his background and passion is a fusion of engineering and farming; the latter being a result of some 40 years of extensive hands-on experience, diversifying his personal working farm of beef cattle, to the production of olive oil, honey and citrus. This has given him a good degree of common sense and a down to earth approach, which clients have always placed a high value on.

In 2006, Gervase was recognised for his outstanding commitment and contribution to the building and construction industry, receiving the Robert Law Award.
