Donovan Group
Donovan Group has been solving entrenched construction challenges since the 1960s. We have transformed the global construction industry with fresh approaches to age-old problems and delivered a comprehensive suite of industry-defining construction innovations. We are a lab for building, continuously creating what comes next so that construction can become easier, faster, better, safer, more accessible and more green for everyone. One of our guiding principles is to drive innovation to significantly reduce the amount of carbon that the global construction industry uses. The result is achievement in four key areas: Tech Platforms; Building Products; Advanced Manufacturing; and our Construction Solutions.
