What Webb Australia Group does

Webb Australia Group is a privately-held, multi-discipline engineering design consultancy founded in 1973 and headquartered in Sydney. The firm provides specialist design services across electrical infrastructure and masterplanning, mechanical services, security design, specialist and sports lighting, high voltage (Level 3 ASP), communications and audio visual, PV solar, environmentally sustainable design (ESD), and Revit 3D/BIM coordination. Its client base is anchored in federal and state government agencies — including Defence, Justice, Transport, Education, and major event infrastructure — alongside commercial, social infrastructure, and select private luxury residential projects. Notable engagements include specialist lighting design for Barangaroo Metro Station and Tokyo Aquatics Centre, sports lighting and AV for Khalifa International Stadium (FIFA World Cup 2022), electrical and security design for the Lavarack Barracks military redevelopment, and multi-disciplinary design for the Waikeria Corrections facility in New Zealand. The firm holds security master licences in ACT, NSW, QLD and VIC and SCEC Endorsed Security Zone Consultant credentials, which qualify it for sensitive government work.

The firm's core technology stack centres on BIM-enabled delivery: a multidisciplinary team coordinates 3D models to LOD500 using Revit and Navisworks, while high voltage network designs are verified through Power Factory and CDEGS simulation. Specialist lighting design integrates daylight harvesting and BMS controls for energy performance. Revenue is generated through project-based fee proposals, with new work originating from a website-driven expression-of-interest process, consortium memberships with tier-one primes (Mott MacDonald, Lendlease, CPB Contractors, Dar Al-Handasah, Foster + Partners), and direct enterprise engagement. Distribution is delivered through seven Australian offices (Sydney headquarters, Canberra, Newcastle, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast), a Queenstown office established in 2022 for New Zealand and Pacific Islands, and Australian-led project teams serving Middle East and South East Asia. The firm has accumulated over 80 design awards across IES, IALD, Master Builders QLD and Queensland Architecture Awards, and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2023 at the Sydney Opera House.
