What Richard Long Pty Ltd does

Richard Long Pty Ltd, trading as Long Contracting, is a Melbourne-based construction management and head contracting firm established in 1994 and headquartered in Malvern, Victoria. The company delivers consulting, design coordination, project management and construction services for architecturally designed buildings across residential (luxury homes, heritage renovations), commercial, industrial, educational, hospitality, cinema, and automotive dealership verticals. Its portfolio includes marquee projects such as the Monarto Safari Resort (78 rooms plus day spa, South Australia), St. Hubert's Winery, BMW & Mini Waverley showroom, Hoyts Chadstone (described as the largest Hoyts fitout in Australia), and educational facilities at Scotch College, St Michael's Grammar and Firbank Grammar.

The firm operates with a craft-led delivery model relying on specialist trades — stonemasons, heritage renderers, plasterers, joiners, slate roofers — and a subcontractor network, with no proprietary technology platform or software products. Revenue is generated through fixed-price construction contracts secured via competitive tender and direct client engagement, with project values ranging from sub-$1M fitouts to multi-million-dollar developments. Two offices (Malvern headquarters and Sorrento) support operations across Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. The firm holds AIB Excellence in Building High Commendation (2022) and Mornington Peninsula Heritage Award (2021), and cites a high ratio of repeat customers as evidence of client retention.
