Humble Beginnings Founded Today's Success.

Di Prinzio Cossettini was begun in 1963 as Concrete Contractors by two friends with the same passion for hard work and driven by determination to make a successful business from their skills and abilities with concrete.

The late Vincenzio Di Prinzio and Luciano Cossettini were very determined to bring forward the art of concreting and concrete structures in the building industry, unlike many others could at that time. They believed that they could build a business that was well recognised for quality work and competitive in the market within ten years, and set about their goals.

It was no surprise that the company began to grow soon after the two partners commenced in their new business aspirations. A true combination of solid business planning and hard work was the foundation for the company to become incorporated as a Proprietary Company on the 2nd February 1971. Not only had the two men created their dream in two years less time than they had set out as their goal, but they had employees, equipment and were now becoming a sought after company by a wide range of developers.

As further time past, the company grew and became one of the leaders in the industry with involvement in various Domestic, Commercial and Civil Works. There was a large range of work types that the business was able to undertake including Excavation, Formwork, Placement of Reinforcing Steel, as well as Placing and Finishing of Concrete, including Granolithic Topping and Exposed Aggregate. Their industry experience had also grown to concreting types from Raft Slabs up to and including Multi-Storey Buildings. A great amount of work that was carried out by Di Prinzio Cossettini is still in commission to this day.

One certain fact within the Concrete Industry is that the job involves a lot of hard physical work with a very high demand for proper understanding of plans, measurement and surveying skills to begin the project, followed up with all other relevant abilities to carry out what the developer has requested and to ensure that it services the project correctly throughout its lifetime. It is common knowledge that any building or development project needs the absolutely best possible foundations, that secure their structure for many years to come, well beyond most of us who are reading this page.

Today at Di Prinzio Cossettini, the company remains in the hands of the original founders' sons. Peter Di Prinzio and Paul Cossettini became the directors in 2001 and are both involved in various areas of the business every day. Under the current team, the business has virtually reached the pinnacle of what they can do within the concrete industry and now the company continues to provide top quality concrete finishes to a multitude of developments across Newcastle, The Hunter and wherever the others can not go, Di Prinzio Cossettini are always called upon because they can.

Towards and throughout the new millennium and up to today, the company has undertaken some very large concreting projects, which have given them acclaim for their work and secured their place in the high scale development area. Whilst continuing with large jobs, they have also continued to complete medium scale and domestic projects as well. The ability to be continuously involved in several areas at one time is assured through good employees with a team of 49 people available to the work deployment structures that the company may need to arrange on any given day of the week.

Since the new directors became active, many changes also occurred in the Australian Economic Structure with the introduction of GST. This was also the time that Di Prinzio Cossettini made the transition into modern technologies. A new tax system saw the company modernise their computers to what was current at that time, the MS Windows Platform®  was introduced to the staff and the business moved forward again. Since that time, the modernisation of technologies has been very important to the business and a constant area of expansion which they make regularly due to the constant advances made in this particular area. I sincerely believe that the thought of someday being able to type your company name into a computer with the result being a virtual introduction to the company that they once created all those years ago, appearing right there in front of their eyes, was something that Vincenzio and Luciano had never considered in their original plans. Changes however, come through generations and so, here we are today, wondering what tomorrow and the next generation may be considering.
