About Us
Founded in 2002, Montek is a leading Australian property development management, services and advisory group.
We can be trusted as a reliable, independent, professional partner because we have over 1,000 clients, many who’ve come back for multiple projects. Montek’s services are also employed by experienced developers. These are people that know property and development well, who want to ensure their property development projects are systematically managed within time and to budget, while they free up their own time.
Our extensive practical experience stretches across Australia and throughout Asia. Projects range from single residences to giant, multi-billion dollar residential, industrial, commercial and infrastructure development projects.
Montek combines extensive international development and practical onsite construction experience with high calibre management, coordination and interpersonal skills. With a big picture approach, we resolve complex land and property issues, producing a more efficient, effective and streamlined property development process.
