A proud, locally owned and operated company

Shanley Management Services; widely known as SMS, are a proud, locally owned and operated company established in October 2004 and located at the fringe of north west Melbourne. From a team of two (2) in early 2005 we have since grown to seven (7) on the back of honest, objective advice and openness in communicating the delivery of projects.

We have extensive experience in programs and projects which include urgent and minor works projects and capital works projects including establishing new schools for the Victorian Government on green field and fire destroyed locations.

SMS has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to effectively deliver projects within budget while satisfying the inherent sensitivities and needs of a project's environment.

Currently working with government agencies in a range of minor works and capital works projects, we have successfully delivered in excess of 300 projects for the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) including 140 schools across Victoria.
