Our Story

Our Mission

To create a solid foundation for growing cities.

About Us

Lofts is a second-generation family business that supplies Melbourne’s building and construction industry with certified quarry and recycled materials. We work with major suppliers including Boral, Hanson and Holcim Australia, as well as leading recyclers and scoria distributors.

Our Story

In 1978, after working with his parents for a number of years, Lofts founder Paul Lofitis decided to embark upon his own career. He purchased a truck with a contract for the Melbourne City Loop and started working for himself as an owner-driver.

When the contract abruptly came to an end shortly thereafter, Paul began contracting to the quarry industry and soon became familiar with customers and their needs.

Soon, Paul came to realise that many customers in the industry were dissatisfied with the service they were receiving. Having identified a gap in the market, Paul decided to start his own company and on 4th October 1979 ‘Lofts Quarries and Sand Supplies’ opened for business.

Our Values

Work Smarter.

We hate waste. Time, effort, materials, resources – all too valuable to throw away. We use advanced technology to optimise everything we do because empty trucks are pointless. We use our heads to punch well above our weight.

Earn Trust.

Relationships and loyalty matter. But they don’t come easy. Our customers are under the pump, and can’t get anything done till we lay the foundation. Everything rests on us turning up on time, with the right stuff, and getting it done.

Sleeves Up.

We believe in getting stuck in and doing whatever it takes to get the job done. As a family business we support each other. We’re not afraid to put our hand up and ask for help, and we’re the first to answer the call. When the going gets tough, Lofts get going.
