What Alder Constructions does

Alder Constructions (trading as Alder Group) is a privately held Australian multidisciplinary construction and development company founded in 2003/2004 and headquartered at Helensvale, Gold Coast, Queensland. It delivers civil construction, commercial construction and boutique property development projects across Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales, with regional offices in Brisbane (Ascot) and Ballina, NSW. Its core service lines include infrastructure and roads, community facilities, design-and-construct commercial buildings (retail, industrial, education, hospitality), and integrated property developments; the firm combines construction and development under one organisation to manage coordination and delivery risk.

The company operates an enterprise field-sales go-to-market model, securing work via tenders, RFPs and direct engagement with local and state government councils, educational institutions, commercial developers and industrial clients. Headcount stands at 130+ directly employed skilled professionals, and the firm cites 350+ delivered projects and 23 industry awards as evidence of execution capability, including the 2018 Master Builders Award for an education facility at Coomera Anglican College. Notable clients include Ballina Shire Council, City of Gold Coast, Electract Energy, Coomera Anglican College, GHD and Accor Hotels (repainting of the Soul Building), with repeat relationships spanning 10+ years in some accounts.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, custom-quoted basis with multi-year contracts; pricing is not publicly standardised. Underlying technology is an online project management system providing clients transparency across project stages, but there is no disclosed AI/ML capability. The firm is founder-led (Greg Alder as founder and managing director) and independently owned, with no disclosed parent entity, funding rounds, M&A activity or external investors in the source material.

Direct peers

• Shamrock Civil Engineering: Queensland-based civil contractor delivering roads, infrastructure, and community projects in Southeast Queensland and Northern NSW. Direct geographic and service-line comparable to Alder's civil construction arm.
• BMD Group: Privately held Australian contractor specialising in civil infrastructure, urban development, and property development across Queensland and NSW. Highly comparable integrated construction-and-development model with similar regional Queensland/NSW footprint.
• FKG Group: Privately held Queensland-headquartered construction, civil, and property development group. Closely mirrors Alder's integrated construction-and-development model and regional Queensland/Northern NSW focus, with a comparable scale profile.
• ADCO Constructions: National commercial construction firm with strong Queensland/NSW presence across education, retail, hospitality, and government sectors. Closely aligned customer segments and project types make it a direct comparable despite ADCO's larger national footprint.
• Hutchinson Builders: One of Australia's largest private construction companies with deep Queensland roots and a strong civil and commercial building portfolio. Directly comparable in geography and service mix (civil, commercial, education, government), though operating at materially greater scale.
• Watpac: Australian commercial construction and civil engineering contractor with significant Southeast Queensland operations. Comparable in project types (education, commercial, civil) and regional geographic focus, though now part of BESIX Group.
• Roberts Pizzarotti: Boutique-to-mid-tier Australian contractor delivering commercial and residential projects across Queensland and NSW. Highly comparable in regional footprint, project scale, and integrated construction-development positioning.

Broad incumbents

• CPB Contractors: CIMIC Group-owned tier-one contractor delivering major infrastructure and building projects nationally. Competes in the same Southeast Queensland and NSW markets for large civil and commercial tenders, with a much broader portfolio.
• Lendlease: Global Australian-headquartered construction and development group. Overlaps with Alder's commercial construction and property development activities in Australia, particularly in Queensland, but operates at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• John Holland: Major Australian infrastructure and building contractor operating across civil, commercial, and rail. Competes for the same Queensland/NSW tenders as Alder but at substantially greater scale and as part of a broader national portfolio.
