What CDI Group does

CDI Group is a Perth-headquartered, privately held construction and fitout contractor founded in 1990 by Garry Wright and operating exclusively within Western Australia. The company delivers commercial fitout, refurbishment, construction management, and modular construction services for enterprise and government clients across mining and resources (Fortescue, Rio Tinto, Northern Star Resources, Mineral Resources, Gold Fields), professional services (KPMG, PKF, Azure Capital, Euroz Hartleys), legal (Clayton Utz, Dentons), real estate (CBRE, Dexus), retail (Harvey Norman), hospitality (Hilton Garden Inn Albany, Moon & Mary), government (City of Fremantle, ICWA, state agencies), healthcare (Perth Children's Hospital Foundation, Rosewood Aged Care, Western Kids Health), and education (Curtin University). Project scope ranges from a few hundred square metres up to 25,000 sqm and includes heritage restoration and 6-Star Green Star rated sustainable spaces.

The business is organized across four wholly-owned Western Australian Pty Ltd entities — CDI Group Pty Ltd, CDI (WA) Pty Ltd, CDI Property Services Pty Ltd, and Ballardong CDI Contracting Pty Ltd — and is triple-certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, with Modern Slavery Act 2018 compliance. Internal delivery is supported by the SIMPEL project management platform (used to integrate health considerations across project phases) and a dedicated Safety Management System, alongside a subcontractor-driven workforce model. Leadership comprises Founder and Managing Director Garry Wright, General Manager Dean Gerber (qualified Structural Engineer, Registered Building Practitioner), and an Operations Manager.

CDI operates a project-based, quote-driven revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through competitive tendering and direct enterprise engagement, with work secured through the company's website, phone, and email channels and delivered via its own workforce plus a subcontractor network across Perth metro and regional WA (Karratha, Albany). GTM is best characterized as enterprise field sales targeting decision-makers in mining majors, government, and professional services, underpinned by a portfolio-marketing approach via detailed case studies.
