After 25 years of building and operating in hard-to-reach places, from Papua New Guinea to Guyana and Sakhalin Island, the company has outgrown the word “Constructors”.
In October 2026, Pacific Rim Constructors became PACRIM. Founded in 2001, the company built its business delivering construction and infrastructure in places across the globe where access, climate and logistics could be as demanding as the building work itself. Since then, its work has grown to include procurement and logistics, hospitality, property & facility management and equipment. Its experience now extends across six continents, supporting governments, resource companies and industrial organisations. The new name brings those five services under one identity.
PACRIM has operated in Papua New Guinea since 2009, primarily supporting clients in the resources and industrial sectors. Its project work includes modular construction, civil works and specialist upgrades. Alongside this, the company provides ongoing property and facility management and operational support, covering technical maintenance, workplace support and hospitality services.
Beyond Papua New Guinea, its international portfolio includes the development of a major shore supply base in Georgetown, Guyana, where the company worked with consortium partners to design, engineer, construct and operate the facility. The scope combined berths, roads, warehousing and supporting infrastructure with operational services including fuel supply and waste management.
On Sakhalin Island, PACRIM renovated and expanded a workforce camp to accommodate 1,560 people. The project included nine fabric warehouses and new water and sewage treatment plants, with the company subsequently taking responsibility for facility management, maintenance and catering.
Connecting construction and operations
Construction decisions have consequences throughout a facility’s working life. Equipment selection, maintenance access and the design of utilities all influence its reliability and cost of operation. PACRIM brings an operator’s perspective to those decisions, drawing on its experience managing and maintaining facilities.
For clients, this provides the option of an integrated service package, connecting design and construction with ongoing management and operation. PACRIM can coordinate those services within an agreed scope, giving clients a clear point of responsibility for delivery.
Protecting property value and investment returns
PACRIM’s property and facility management offering focuses on protecting the client’s return on investment while meeting the needs of tenants and occupants.
Property management connects the owner’s objectives with the day-to-day management of the property and its tenant relationships. Responsive service, careful oversight of income and expenditure, and informed decisions about improvements support occupancy, tenant retention and the property’s long-term appeal.
Facility management supports these objectives by keeping buildings, utilities and essential services functioning reliably. Planned maintenance and capital planning help owners anticipate costs, prioritise work and reduce the risk of disruptive failures.
PACRIM’s construction capability complements this work through the delivery of refurbishment, alterations and infrastructure upgrades.
Quality, safety and accountability
PACRIM maintains ISO 9001 certification for quality management and ISO 45001 certification for occupational health and safety. These reflect its commitment to the highest standards of safety and quality across its entire business.
“Quality isn't simply about meeting a specification or holding a certificate. It's reflected in the standard of the work, the way it's managed and the consistency of what we deliver. Ultimately, that's what clients judge us on,” says Ian Parkinson, PACRIM’s General Manager.
PACRIM delivers the majority of its work directly and brings in specialist partners where needed. In either case, it retains responsibility for managing the work and its outcome.
He also points to the relationships behind the company’s work in Papua New Guinea:
“PNG has been part of our business for 17 years. The people, businesses and communities we’ve worked with have played an important part in that history. We value those relationships and recognise our responsibility to contribute positively to the communities in which we operate.”
As Papua New Guinea enters its next phase of development, PACRIM is committed to playing its part. It brings its international experience and established relationships to the work ahead, from delivering new projects to keeping operations and assets performing for the long term.
