Dedicated to the Social Housing Sector

Assett was birthed as a dedicated service provider to the Social Housing sector, a sector we recognise as being fundamental to a civilised society.

Our entire business and operations are founded upon a close understanding and appreciation of a Government’s need to provide healthy, well-maintained home environments for those within our society for whom satisfying this basic need would not otherwise be possible.

Care and Understanding . . . Part of the Job

We recognise that many Social Housing tenants have special needs . . . and, as a result, need special care and understanding in the provision of the maintenance of their homes.

This requirement for care and understanding is not limited to operational practices, but of equal importance, extends to attitude in delivery.

Assett was founded upon servicing the needs of our fellow citizens accommodated in Social Housing.

We remain firmly wedded to, and guided by, our founding philosophy:

That those accommodated in Social Housing settings are citizens equal in their rights and needs – both for respectable, well-maintained dwellings and for professional, proficient, and dignified treatment in all its forms.

Our Roots

The roots of the Assett of today were planted in 2007 by one Joseph Puccio – now the Chief Executive of the operation.

Formerly a senior manager of operations with a long-established New South Wales builder, central to Joseph’s (Joe’s) role was his responsibility for managing Social Housing maintenance contracts for State-level agency providers.

But before this . . . his involvement in maintaining Social Housing was as hands-on, and as up-close-and-personal, as it gets: Joe was a carpenter working on-site on every type of Social Housing complex and dwelling in those client’s portfolios.

(He, in fact, worked on many of the very same properties, the company of which he is today Founder and Chief Executive, manages on behalf of its Government client base.)

He took this on-the-ground working knowledge, with all its insights, into his subsequent managerial roles – all the while, growing in his personal dedication to the sector and its continual improvement.

After expanding his skill set from the work site to operational management, he felt called to exercise his natural inclination towards entrepreneurialism. Creating Assett was the next stage in the evolutionary cycle: He saw the potential for so many improvements in service delivery – both to Government landlord agencies and to their tenant bases – that the full scope of that improvement could only be attained at the helm of his own operation.

And thus, Assett came into being . . . with the founding and ongoing mission of focusing the full intensity of his desire for our State’s Social Housing sector and the optimisation of its performance – such that it may become all it can be.
