John Holland has won a $125 million contract to construct the Yongah Hill immigration detention centre at Northam.
In May, the Australian government announced the capacity of Yongah Hill would be reduced to 600 single men from the 1,500 originally announced in October last year.
A Department of Immigration spokesperson said initial site works would commence within the next fortnight.
"Following the tender and evaluation process, the John Holland bid was found to offer the best value-for-money to the Commonwealth," the spokesman said.
"The head contractor will now commence a subcontracting process for packages of work on the site."
Construction is expected to be completed in October.
