What I&D Group does

I&D Group is a privately held Australian formwork and concrete structure contractor headquartered at 100 York Street, South Melbourne, Victoria. Founded in 1994 by Ivan and Kathy Filipovic, the company has grown from modest origins into one of the largest providers of formwork solutions in Victoria, employing more than 700 professional and support staff. It serves large-scale building and construction companies across both private and public markets, delivering projects of varying scope across the state, including landmark commercial and infrastructure builds.

The company's core offering is end-to-end concrete structure delivery. Services span formwork, steel reinforcement, post tensioning, concrete pumping, precast concrete supply and erection, tower and mobile cranage, and temporary and permanent works design. I&D deploys a portfolio of formwork systems — table forms, formdeck metal decking, pan systems for flat plate slabs, hydraulic and crane lifted jump forms, and hydraulic and crane lifted protection screens — selected according to project requirements. All formwork products are manufactured in-house at the company's plant in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs, and the firm operates state-of-the-art lifting and crane equipment and thousands of square metres of stored materials, supporting delivery of the largest projects in the region.

I&D Group runs an enterprise field sales motion, partnering directly with general contractors and developers on a project-by-project basis. Revenue is generated through one-time construction contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and there is no recurring or subscription component. The business is entirely founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no external investors, parent entity, or public listing identified, and operations remain concentrated exclusively in Victoria, Australia, with no evidence of interstate or international footprint.

Direct peers

• Acrow Formwork & Scaffolding: Australian specialty formwork and scaffolding contractor serving commercial and infrastructure projects. Directly comparable to I&D Group in service offering (formwork rental and installation) and customer base of large Australian builders.
• Waco Kwikform: Australian operation of Waco International providing formwork, scaffolding, and shoring services. Closely comparable business model and customer segment in the Australian nonresidential construction market.

Broad incumbents

• Doka: Global formwork manufacturer and supplier with Australian operations. Comparable in core formwork systems and end customers, but competes as an equipment supplier and engineering partner rather than as a local specialty contractor.
• PERI: World-leading formwork and scaffolding manufacturer with Australian presence. Overlaps with I&D in formwork technology and customer base, but operates primarily as an equipment and engineering supplier to contractors like I&D.
• ULMA Construction: International formwork and scaffolding provider operating in Australia. Comparable product portfolio and customer profile, but as a global OEM rather than a vertically integrated local contractor.
• Boral Limited: Australia's largest integrated construction materials and building products supplier, including concrete and asphalt. Touches I&D's value chain via concrete supply and large-scale commercial/infrastructure project presence, though Boral is a materials producer rather than a formwork specialist.
