Digital Water Solutions

What Digital Water Solutions does

Digital Water Solutions (DWS) is a specialist water infrastructure engineering consultancy and authorised Autodesk software reseller operating across Australia and New Zealand. Founded in 2022 and headquartered on the Gold Coast, the company delivers integrated water planning, hydraulic modelling, feasibility and concept design, asset management, and digital integration services to water utilities, local councils, private developers, and engineering consultancies. DWS combines deep domain expertise (300+ years of combined team experience across 30+ professionals) with industry-standard hydraulic modelling platforms — InfoWorks WS Pro, InfoWorks ICM, Info360 Asset, and the Autodesk AEC Collection — that the same engineering team uses on client projects, sells, supports, and trains on.

The company operates two interconnected business streams. The consulting practice generates project-based revenue from water network master planning, catchment modelling, and infrastructure feasibility studies for clients such as Sydney Water, Watercare, Seqwater, Unitywater, Urban Utilities, TasWater, and numerous Australian and New Zealand councils. The software stream generates recurring subscription revenue by reselling Autodesk Water Infrastructure products, InfoWorks platforms, and cloud-based asset management tools, supported by accredited training and technical/advanced modelling support delivered by practising engineers.

DWS monetises through four primary revenue streams: project-based engineering consulting (quote-based), software licensing (named user subscriptions and Flex tokens), training (token-based packages starting at $2,575 per token for software clients with volume discounts up to 12.5%, and on-site dedicated sessions at $12,865 per session), and technical support retainers. With 140+ active clients and 200+ projects delivered, the company reaches customers through direct consultative sales, its Autodesk channel partnership, a public training calendar across five ANZ cities, and a website-driven lead funnel. The firm operates from five offices (Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Auckland, Christchurch), is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding or parent company, and has no publicly disclosed revenue.

Core offering

Digital Water Solutions delivers specialist water infrastructure engineering consulting — Integrated Water Planning, Feasibility & Concept Design, Asset Management, and Digital Services — alongside authorised Autodesk/InfoWorks software resale (InfoWorks WS Pro, InfoWorks ICM, Info360 Asset, InfoAsset Manager, Autodesk Civil 3D, AEC Collection). It also provides accredited InfoWorks training and advanced modelling technical support to water utilities, councils, developers, and engineering consultancies across Australia and New Zealand.

Product overview

Digital Water Solutions operates two interconnected business streams: engineering consulting and software solutions. The consulting practice delivers four integrated service lines: Integrated Water Planning (network master planning, hydraulic modelling, growth forecasting), Feasibility & Concept Design (options assessment, concept design, business case support), Asset Management (risk analysis, investment planning, ISO 55001-aligned frameworks), and Digital Services (data integration, model linking, decision support tools). The software business resells and supports Autodesk Water Infrastructure products including InfoWorks WS Pro (water distribution modelling), InfoWorks ICM (integrated catchment modelling), Info360 Asset (cloud-based asset management), InfoAsset Manager (desktop asset management), and the full Autodesk AEC Collection (Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Revit). Both streams are grounded in the same engineering expertise, with training and technical support reinforcing the consulting and software offerings.

Direct peers

• GHD: GHD is a major Australian-headquartered engineering consultancy with one of the largest water practices in ANZ. It competes directly with DWS for utility master planning, hydraulic modelling, and asset management mandates — and appears among DWS's listed clients, underscoring the direct overlap.
• WSP: WSP is a global engineering consultancy with a substantial ANZ water practice and an explicit partnership relationship with DWS (roadmap to live hydraulic models for Unitywater). Directly comparable in target clients, service lines, and project types.
• Tonkin + Taylor: NZ-headquartered environmental and engineering consultancy with deep specialisation in water resources, stormwater, and wastewater. Direct overlap with DWS in hydraulic modelling and catchment management across NZ, where DWS also operates.
• Alluvium: Australian specialist water and environmental engineering consultancy focused on integrated water management, modelling, and planning. Closely comparable in size, specialisation, and target client base to DWS — and listed as a DWS client/logo.
• Engeny: Australian water, environmental, and civil engineering consultancy with strong overlap in stormwater management, flood modelling, and integrated water planning. Listed on DWS's client logo wall, indicating direct market overlap.

Broad incumbents

• Stantec: Global engineering consultancy with a sizable water practice in ANZ, offering master planning, modelling, and asset management services across the same utility customer set as DWS — but as part of a much broader multi-discipline portfolio.
• Aurecon: ANZ-headquartered engineering consultancy with significant water practice covering modelling, master planning, and digital twin delivery. Competes with DWS at the larger end of utility mandates and appears as a DWS client/logo.
• Beca: ANZ-headquartered engineering consultancy with strong water and environmental practices, particularly across NZ and Australia. Competes for similar utility and council infrastructure planning mandates as DWS.
• Jacobs: Global engineering and professional services firm with a substantial water practice covering master planning, hydraulic modelling, and asset management. Competes with DWS for larger utility transformation programmes across ANZ.

Emerging players

• Bentley Systems: Provider of competing water modelling software platforms (WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS, OpenFlows) that compete with the InfoWorks products DWS resells. Relevant peer because utilities evaluating software stacks may choose Bentley over Autodesk/InfoWorks, indirectly affecting DWS's software resale opportunity.
