Craig & Rhodes

What Craig & Rhodes does

Craig & Rhodes is an Australian engineering consultancy founded in 1923, headquartered in Rhodes, providing surveying, planning, and project management services to the urban development sector. The firm operates within Colliers' broader real estate services platform, leveraging Colliers' national and global distribution infrastructure while maintaining local insight into Australian council requirements. Its core offering is an integrated multi-disciplinary engineering platform spanning civil engineering, structural engineering, traffic and transport, water and wastewater, stormwater and flooding, surveying and geospatial, environmental and sustainability, waste management and logistics, and acoustic design — delivered end-to-end from site assessment and due diligence through development application, design, and construction support.

The firm's customer base is horizontally segmented across five business units: Commercial Property (office, retail, industrial and logistics) as the primary segment, alongside Healthcare & Retirement Living, Government & Infrastructure, Agribusiness, and Specialized Property Types including data centres, hotels, build-to-rent, co-living, and student accommodation. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements, with pricing typically quoted based on project scope and complexity rather than disclosed publicly. Go-to-market relies on direct engagement with clients via the specialised Engineering & Design team, supported by Colliers' national office network across Australia and broader brand-driven marketing including thought leadership research, industry events, and a National Graduate Program for talent acquisition.

Strategically, the firm has expanded its engineering capability through the 2024 acquisition of GREENHILL, an urban development consultancy adding electrical infrastructure and landscape architecture depth. It differentiates on the combination of multi-disciplinary technical capability with commercial real estate advisory context provided by the Colliers parent, offering clients single-point accountability across the project lifecycle. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software products, or app-based delivery mechanisms are disclosed.
