What QLD Civil Solutions does

QLD Civil Solutions is a Brisbane-based, privately held civil construction and plant hire contractor founded in 2013, operating across all mainland Australian states and territories. The company delivers a multidisciplinary portfolio of civil works including drilling, piling, bridge construction, substation construction, transmission line and tower construction, basement excavation, earthworks, flood remediation, and renewable energy infrastructure (wind and solar farm works). Its equipment platform consists of a fleet of over 100 machines — including excavators from 1.5 to 35 tonnes, truck-mounted cranes up to 150 tonnes, drill rigs, piling rigs (Bayshore, Atlas Copco, Soilmec), graders, tipper trucks, road trains, and specialist support vehicles — all maintained in-house. A distinctive technical capability is exclusive access to low-clearance drill and piling rigs with segmented masts, enabling operations in confined environments such as inside buildings, under bridges, beneath powerlines, near rock cliffs, and within tunnels, where conventional rigs cannot operate.

The company also operates a standalone plant and equipment hire business, renting its fleet and licensed operators to construction and infrastructure projects nationwide. Its primary customer base is major civil and government contractors and large enterprises, with named clients including UGL (including the ~300km Prominent Hill Transmission Line project), Powerlines Plus, FMG, Oz Minerals, Silverton Wind Farm, Eurombah Coal Seam Gas Network, AGL, and government deployments such as NBN tower installation. Revenue is generated on a project/contract basis through quote-based pricing, with no public pricing disclosed. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales, driven by direct phone, email, and online enquiry forms, with project portfolio and service capability showcased through the company website.

QLD Civil Solutions generates revenue through two streams: (1) civil construction services delivered on a project/contract basis to enterprise and government clients, and (2) plant and equipment hire of its 100+ machine fleet. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors, and is described as locally owned and operated. The company claims 25+ years of collective industry experience among its team and senior operators.

Broad incumbents

• Fulton Hogan: Large diversified civil infrastructure contractor with significant Australia/NZ operations in roads, bridges, utilities and earthworks. Comparable on civil infrastructure delivery but operates at materially greater scale across a broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• BMD Group: Brisbane-headquartered civil contractor delivering earthworks, utilities, road, rail and subdivision infrastructure across Australia. Highly comparable in scope (civil contracting + plant) and scale, and a direct Australian competitor for many of the same prime-contractor relationships.
• Georgiou Group: Western Australia/Qld-based mid-tier civil and structural contractor delivering bridges, roads, rail and civil infrastructure for government and resources clients. Similar in size, multidisciplinary civil scope and reliance on resources/mining customers.
• McCosker Contracting: Queensland-based civil contractor providing earthworks, pipeline installation, roadworks and drill/piling services to mining and infrastructure clients. Closely comparable business model — multidisciplinary civil contracting with mining-sector exposure.
