Tony Madden Architects

What Tony Madden Architects does

Tony Madden Architects (TMA) is a privately held, family-based boutique architectural practice founded in the late 1990s and headquartered at 3/171 Bolsover Street, Rockhampton, Queensland, with a smaller satellite office at Lobby 1, Level 2, 76 Skyring Terrace, Newstead, Brisbane. The firm provides the full lifecycle of architectural services — site feasibility and master planning, traditional lump-sum documentation, tender, contract administration, post-construction services, and assistance with funding-package preparation and project financial management — for clients primarily in regional Queensland.

The firm's core offering is a single integrated professional-services engagement rather than a discrete product line; however, the completed project portfolio (LeBreton STEM Hub at St Brendan's College, Marcellin Pavilion at Marcellin College, Waterford Building at Shalom College, Chanel College classroom block in Gladstone, St Benedict's College Stage 3) functions as its commercial showcase. TMA has accumulated more than 400 Education-sector projects over 25+ years, making Education institutions the dominant vertical, with secondary exposure to Public/Institutional, Commercial, and Private Residential work.

The business model is straightforward professional-services revenue earned per project under customised fee arrangements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: the firm relies on its established regional reputation, referral network, and a portfolio website to attract education-sector and public-sector clients. Headcount is approximately 12, including up to 10 in the Rockhampton office. There is no disclosed funding, M&A activity, proprietary technology, or AI capability.
