Acurus is expert as converting customer visions into high performance, reliable systems. For the past seven years, we have delivered every project within budget and on time. More importantly, we delivered each project with quality and to a high level of customer satisfaction.

This success starts with listening. When an organisation communicates its vision to us, this is an important conversation. As this initial dialogue is the point at which the journey from vision into strategy begins, it is where our project methodology starts.

Acurus has formulated its project delivery methodology cumulatively from our previous successes. We know what we do works, so we formalised it and incorporated it into our quality management system.

“(Acurus) always delivered on time, and importantly, with quality.”
Brett Taylor – Horizon Power
