Founded in 2023 by Director Joe Tonkovic, 88 Construction Services was born from a clear vision - to raise the standard of the construction industry and provide comprehensive support to project stakeholders at every stage of a build.
With over 25 years of experience in the ACT construction market, Joe brings a wealth of knowledge across diverse sectors, including commercial building refurbishments, office fitouts, new commercial developments, heritage restorations, and large-scale residential projects. His career spans work with both national commercial builders and local developers, giving him a deep understanding of the industry from multiple perspectives.
Well-respected within the local construction community, Joe has built strong relationships with consultants, contractors, and clients alike—connections that help ensure every project is delivered with quality, efficiency, and trust.

At 88 Construction Services, we are committed to delivering expert construction consulting services that supports quality, compliance and confidence - at every stage of the building process.
Based in the ACT (with the ability to also service clients interstate), we partner with developers, builders, project managers, strata managers and owners to provide tailored, practical solutions. From pre-construction activities right through to post-completion inspections, our services are built to add value for our clients.
Whether you are after an experienced construction manager to assist with design management, program development and trade procurement, or a knowledgeable individual to superintend a project, or need advice and assistance in post-construction services (such as pre-settlement inspections, defect inspections and or strata building assessments, you have come to the right place.
Our flexible rates will provide you with dependable and professional support and guidance.

At 88 Construction Services, we provide expert pre-construction consulting to set your project up for success from day one. Our services include strategic planning, design coordination, feasibility assessments, budgeting and program development. We work closely with developers, builders, and other key project stakeholders to ensure informed decisions, minimise costly delays, and optimise project outcomes.
Whether you’re in the early concept phase or preparing for procurement, our tailored advice and practical insights help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Our Design Management service ensures your project moves seamlessly from concept to construction, with every detail carefully reviewed and coordinated. We will work closely with the design team to align your vision with practical solutions, budgets, and timelines. By anticipating challenges early and streamlining communication, we deliver advice to ensure that the design is innovative, functional, and ready to build—saving you time, reducing costs, and ensuring exceptional results.
At 88 Construction Services, our Program Development service delivers complete oversight and coordination for your entire project lifecycle. From initial planning through design, procurement, and construction programming, we can assist in every phase to ensure your vision is realized on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards. By integrating schedules, resources, and risk management into one cohesive program, we create a streamlined process that minimizes delays, maximizes efficiency, and delivers exceptional results.
Our Procurement Management service manages every step of the procurement process for a project, including the preparation of project specific scopes, obtaining tender pricing and providing recommendations for the best value for money. We leverage our local industry knowledge and supplier network to secure quality resources at competitive prices, while maintaining transparency and accountability. By streamlining procurement, we help keep your project on schedule, control costs, and deliver the best value without compromising quality.
At 88 Construction Services, our Superintendent Service safeguards your interests by ensuring all construction activities comply with contractual agreements. We act as an independent representative to monitor progress, verify that work meets the agreed scope, quality, and timelines, and address issues before they escalate. From managing variations and approving progress claims to ensuring regulatory compliance, we provide transparent oversight that keeps your project on track, within budget, and fully aligned with contractual obligations.
Our Pre-Completion defect and compliance inspection service ensures your project is fully ready for handover. We conduct thorough inspections, finalize outstanding works, and address any defects to meet quality and contractual requirements. This important phase of a project will reduce any disputes to ensure that all parties have full transparency and complete confidence in the finished product.
Our Defect Liability Period Inspections will ensure your project continues to meet quality standards long after completion. During the Defects Liability Period, we conduct detailed inspections to identify and document any defects or maintenance issues, ensuring they are addressed promptly by the responsible parties. Our proactive approach protects your investment, upholds contractual obligations, and guarantees your building performs as intended—giving you peace of mind well beyond handover.
At 88 Construction Services, our Building Defect Inspections provide a thorough assessment of your property to identify construction defects, safety concerns, and areas that fall short of required standards. We deliver detailed reports with clear photographic evidence and practical recommendations, enabling you to address issues promptly and protect your investment. Whether for new builds, refurbishments, or existing properties, our inspections ensure your property meets quality, safety, and compliance requirements—giving you confidence in every square metre.
We offer to undertake Pre-Settlement Inspections to apartment buyers, to provide peace of mind before finalising the purchase of any apartment. This service is invaluable to buyers with limited experience in finding any issues, or for interstate buyers that don't have the time to undertake the inspection themselves. We conduct a meticulous walkthrough to identify defects, incomplete works, or items that don’t meet contractual specifications. Our detailed reports, supported by photographic evidence, ensure any issues are addressed by the builder before settlement. With our expertise on your side, you can move forward with confidence, knowing your new apartment meets the standards you expect.
At 88 Construction Services, we assist strata managers to efficiently manage and repair building defects. Our Defect Repair service covers everything from minor touch-ups to complex rectifications, ensuring works are completed to the highest standard and in full compliance with regulations. We manage the builder, manage timelines, and maintain clear communication to minimise disruption for residents.
