What Carmichael Tompkins Property Group does

Carmichael Tompkins Property Group (CTPG) is an Australian privately-held project management consultancy founded by Greg Carmichael and Kevin Tompkins, providing property advisory and project management services across Australia and New Zealand from offices in Sydney (Aurora Place, 88 Phillip Street) and Melbourne (565 Bourke Street). The firm delivers full-lifecycle services including project management, design management, contractor procurement, contract administration, cost reporting and programming, alongside advisory services such as property advisory, business cases, building advisory, feasibility studies, masterplanning, consultant sourcing, development management and procurement. Specialised offerings extend to technical due diligence, development monitoring, change management, cost optimisation, program management and reference design guidelines.

CTPG serves leading Australian corporates and institutions, with named clients spanning insurance (QBE, IAG, Munich Re), financial and professional services (Boston Consulting Group, Marsh McLennan, Pepper Money, Arnold Bloch Leibler), manufacturing (BlueScope), telecommunications (TPG Telecom), innovation (Stone & Chalk), education (Meriden, Loreto Normanhurst, Sydney Catholic Schools, multiple Catholic colleges) and government (Property NSW). The firm operates an enterprise field-sales model via direct client engagement and project referrals, with pricing structured around bespoke project-based engagements rather than disclosed rate cards. Its management team is anchored by founders Greg Carmichael (Founder & Director, Masters in Planning and Building) and Kevin Tompkins (Director, Chartered Building Surveyor), supported by Project Director Luke Gladwish (16+ years' experience) and additional Senior Directors and Project Managers. A track record of Master Builders Association awards in 2017 (NRMA Homebush) and 2019 (De La Salle Catholic College) and a project portfolio approaching $2 billion under management underscore its positioning in the Australian mid-market project management segment.
