What RP Infrastructure does

RP Infrastructure (RPI) is an Australian independent consultancy delivering end-to-end advisory, project management, and asset management services for major building and infrastructure projects. Founded in 1994 as Root Projects Australia (rebranded to Root Partnerships in 2017 and to RP Infrastructure in 2022), the firm operates from seven offices across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Mackay, and Townsville, serving federal, state, and local government agencies alongside private sector clients. Sector coverage spans social infrastructure (health, education, justice, civic), commercial property, transport (aviation, roads, rail, ports), utilities, energy, resources, and defence.

The firm's service portfolio comprises three integrated streams: Investment and Commercial Advisory (feasibility studies, business cases, infrastructure strategies, financial and economic analysis); Integrated Project Controls (PMO establishment, portfolio governance, cost estimating, scheduling, risk management, operational readiness); and full-lifecycle Project Management (initiation, design management, procurement, contract administration, construction superintendence, commissioning, and handover). The January 2026 merger with Donald Cant Watts Corke added quantity surveying and 60 years of cost management expertise, lifting combined headcount to 500+ professionals and positioning RPI among Australia's largest independent property and infrastructure consultancies. Core delivery relies on senior-led project teams; the technology layer is operational BI and project reporting systems rather than a proprietary AI/ML platform. Notable engagements include a 25-year advisory and project management partnership with Melbourne Airport, the $802.5M Prince of Wales Hospital Acute Services Building, $507M Cairns Hospital Redevelopment, $460M Logan Hospital Expansion, $176M ABC Melbourne Accommodation, and $100M Whitsunday Regional Council infrastructure program.

RPI earns revenue through project-based professional service fees and managed services retainers, structured as time-based or milestone-based engagements procured via competitive tender, panel appointments, or direct engagement. The go-to-market is sales-led, reliant on senior leadership relationships, industry body participation (Property Council of Australia) and thought leadership content; no self-serve or product-led motions are employed. The customer base is dominated by Australian state and federal government departments (notably health, transport, education, social housing, broadcasting) plus enterprise private clients across aviation, retail, logistics, and tertiary education. PE backing from Anacacia Capital since October 2019 has funded a roll-up strategy with three acquisitions in four years (InfraSol Group April 2022, Ranbury Management Group April 2023, DCWC January 2026).

Broad incumbents

• GHD: GHD is one of Australia's largest employee-owned engineering, architecture, environmental, and project management consultancies. Comparable in client mix and infrastructure scope to RPI, with a materially larger headcount and a more design-led service mix.
• WSP Australia: WSP's Australian business is part of WSP Global, providing engineering, advisory, and project management services across transport, property, and environment sectors. Overlaps with RPI on government infrastructure advisory and project management, but with materially larger global resourcing and balance sheet.
• Arcadis Australia: Arcadis operates a significant Australian infrastructure, property, and environment consultancy competing for the same government and private sector mandates as RPI. Broader global footprint and broader service line including design engineering differentiate it from RPI's pure advisory/PM focus.

A global major with stronger technical and design engineering capabilities; overlaps with RPI on owner-side project management and advisory.
• KPMG Australia Infrastructure Advisory: KPMG's Australian infrastructure advisory practice competes with RPI for strategic advisory, business case, and transaction mandates on government PPP and major project work. Part of a Big Four firm with broader consulting scale, but typically less hands-on in project management delivery.
• Mott MacDonald Australia: Mott MacDonald operates a sizeable Australian advisory and project management practice focused on transport, water, energy, and social infrastructure. Comparable to RPI in scope but with global engineering depth and longer PPP advisory track record.
