Established in Ballarat in 1870, H.Troon is one of Victoria’s longest-standing, family-owned construction companies.
With five generations of hands-on leadership and a reputation built on trust, we continue to deliver essential infrastructure across commercial, industrial, civic, education and healthcare sectors, always focused on long-term outcomes for clients, communities and the people who use our spaces.
Henry Troon founded the company in Ballarat while trading as a blacksmith and colonial stove manufacturer for the booming mining population.
Upon Henry’s death, his son Harold took control of the company, diverting the business from general forging to structural, and builders of steelwork.
Harold’s sons, Graeme and Harold Jnr, embarked on service growth. With trends developing in aluminium products and larger structural steel products, the company moved to larger premises in Creswick Road, Ballarat.
H.Troon launches its construction arm, marking its entry into large-scale building.
All operations of the company are under the supervision of fourth generation members of the Troon family: Ross, Steven and Michael. Graeme Troon remains as chairman of the company with ongoing involvement in day-today management.
H.Troon Developments Pty Ltd was established to pursue ownership development opportunities for the group and continues to expand its activities.
In 2024, fifth-generation family member James Troon became managing director, with Jed Holland and Chris Lindsay stepping into director roles to bring strong leadership support to the company’s evolving future.
Today H.Troon has established itself as a builder/developer of various construction projects throughout Australia. Since our expansion into building construction in 1974, H.Troon Pty Ltd has completed varied projects, particularly along the east coast of Australia. Utilising our fabrication resources located in Ballarat, our skills have been applied to the construction of warehouses, sporting complexes, corporate offices and retail facilities.
Our in-house fabrication facility in Ballarat gives us greater control over quality, timelines and cost, allowing us to deliver more for our clients. With over 30 local staff working across structural steel, aluminium and joinery production, we combine hands-on expertise, advanced machinery and smart modeling software to streamline the build process and adapt to project needs.
At H.Troon, our strength lies in our people — many of whom have been with us for over a decade. We invest in local talent, support career development through apprenticeships and training, and foster a culture grounded in safety, respect, and equal opportunity. Whether on site or in the office, our team is united by a shared commitment to quality, collaboration and the communities we serve.
