ABOUT US
Our story began in 1921 when our founder, Domenico arrived in Australia from the alpine regions of northern Italy in 1921. He was 26 years old. Having served in the First World War in austro Italian Alps. He was a plasterer by trade. After a number of years working in Melbourne as a plasterer and having become literate in the English language, he went in to business in the concrete and terrazzo industry. He was successful and respected. In 1928, Domenico established his construction company, "D.M. Negri", which operated for over 30 years in Carlton. The business became a family affair when his three sons joined after school in the mid 1950s, continuing operations in Carlton and Fairfield.
In 1976, the family took a new path. Tony branched out to establish "E.A. Negri"in East Ivanhoe. Despite challenges, Tony's determination and expertise led to the successful completion of many projects, cementing the company's reputation for quality and reliability.
From 2001-Present, Tony's son Richard Negri, Operations Manager joined the business. Tony and Richard have contained the family tradition, securing and completing numerous projects over the years while upholding the values of integrity, craftmanship, and family heritage.
​
Today, E.A. Negri remains a family-run construction business with a prong legacy spanning four generations. We specialise in civil construction, earthworks, excavation, drainage, site cuts, machinery hire, and subdivisions - delivering high-quality results with the same dedication and integrity that Domenico began nearly a century ago.
