About Us

Established by Ian and Jeanmarie Butterfield to provide air conditioning maintenance services in South Australia.
1980’s
In the early 1990’s the strategic decision was made to re-orientate the organisation and refocus on the maintenance services whilst still providing project solutions for our clients.

By the late 1980’s Butterfields had developed into a major mechanical services contractor orientated towards the South Australian Construction Industry.
