McNab

What McNab does

McNab is a privately-owned, vertically integrated construction, development, and property group headquartered in Toowoomba, Queensland, founded in 1996 by Michael McNab. The group delivers commercial, residential, industrial, retirement, aged care, education, health, food processing, and government construction projects across Queensland and New South Wales, operating through five regional offices (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, and Sydney). At #12 on the Hubexo APAC 2025 Construction League Table with approximately $1B in annual group turnover and $1.16B in new commencements, McNab is among Australia's largest privately-held builders.

The business is structured around six wholly-owned subsidiaries that collectively internalise the full construction value chain: McNab Construction (core project delivery), McNab Property (boutique design-led development, $500M pipeline), McNab Building Services (remediation and refurbishment), Supplyhaus (joinery, facades, steel and building products), Electrohire (hoist and equipment hire), and Bridgefab (steel fabrication). Adjacent ventures Powershift and ModnPods extend the group into construction technology and modular construction. The technology stack is described as a 'Construction management and project delivery platform' with no disclosed proprietary AI/ML or software IP; competitive differentiation rests on operational scale, integrated supply chain, and award-winning delivery rather than technology.

Revenue is generated through fixed-price and negotiated project contracts with enterprise clients, ranging from $3.6M to $280M per engagement, with quote-based per-project pricing and multi-year billing on major developments. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by direct relationships and tender platforms such as EstimateOne, with 9 of 10 projects sourced from repeat clients or referrals. The customer base spans blue-chip developers, REITs, institutions, and corporates including ALDI, Bunnings, Stockland, Aria Property Group, Frasers Property, Dexus, Bupa, Anglicare, Aveo, Nestle, JCU, QUT, STIHL, and TradeCoast Central, where McNab has delivered more than 25 projects valued at $280M. Marketing relies on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, a project-rich website, and industry awards from Master Builders Queensland, UDIA, and the Property Council of Australia.
