Tertiary media centre, Perth CBD

02 Challenge

A major tertiary media-centre build in Perth's CBD needed more trusted crew on the ground, fast.

03 What we did

We scaled delivery with MOB Contracting, an Indigenous-owned WA contractor, integrating their crew alongside our specialists.

04 Outcome

Every milestone met, no disruption, and a stronger, more inclusive build.

From initial engagement, understanding TSA's requirements of labour, mobilisation requirements to boots on ground, in my opinion was communicated well and executed with minimal disruption. TSA crew and operations team welcomed our Mob Contracting labourers with openness from the get-go!
01 The Problem

Why MOB?

This project was one we wanted to be part of: a major tertiary media centre set to support hundreds of thousands of students in Perth's CBD for years to come. For us it was never only the install. It was about making a difference in the spaces that shape education, performance and community.

To deliver that properly, we needed the right people on the ground. MOB Contracting is more than a capable team. They are an Indigenous-owned company with a deep connection to community and a drive to create real opportunities for local workers.

From our first conversations, MOB's approach to site work - grounded in reliability, professionalism and pride - mirrored the values we hold at TSA. They prioritise relationships, work with positivity, and bring a level of care and flexibility that made them the right fit.

02 The Process

Getting the job done.

Fast mobilisation

The success of any install comes down to people. MOB's team showed up ready to meet the moment, stepping confidently into a high-performing, fast-moving project. Clear communication and alignment from day one meant mobilisation ran smoothly, with boots on the ground exactly when we needed them.

Integrated, not bolted on

MOB's crew backed our specialists on the ground, helping us hit every milestone without disruption. They were not filling gaps. They were part of the team, bringing their own sense of ownership and pride to the work, from truss builds to overhead rigging.

Respect goes both ways

Collaboration is a two-way street, and on this project the respect flowed naturally. Our team welcomed MOB with openness, and the feedback from both sides echoed the same thing: this was a crew that gelled. Shared motivation, good energy and mutual trust shaped the daily rhythm on site.

03 The Result

Collaboration that matters.

This was more than a contract. It was a collaboration. Working with MOB let us show up for this project the way we wanted to: with professionalism, positivity and a commitment to knowing better. Their crew became a regular part of our install rhythm, working alongside us with shared intent.

The way we worked together reflected everything we aim for at TSA: choosing relationships over revenue, solving problems together, and exceeding expectations on the ground. This project is not only about what is built above ground. It is about the foundations we lay behind the scenes, and the stronger, more inclusive industry we build with partners like MOB.
