Hicon

What Hicon does

Hicon is a Sydney-based construction and fit-out company that delivers complex commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects, with a particular specialisation in live operational environments where continuity of client operations during construction is critical. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Cronulla, NSW, the firm operates with a team of 11–50 employees and holds ISO certifications that support its work in regulated, high-security settings such as airports. The company positions itself around four service lines: Fit-Out for offices, retail complexes, and public infrastructure; Refurbishment for retail, office, and hospitality interiors; New Build for industrial structures including factories, distribution centres, and warehouses; and Civil Construction for essential infrastructure projects.

The company's project portfolio is anchored by a sustained relationship with Sydney Airport, spanning terminal upgrades (T2 DCB, T1/T2/T3 Bathroom Upgrades, T3 Security Lane Upgrade), baggage handling systems, and airside infrastructure. Beyond aviation, Hicon has delivered hospitality work at Pier One Sydney Harbour, a hangar build for Regional Express (REX), and a retail fit-out for Lorna Jane at Macquarie Centre NSW, demonstrating cross-sector capability across aviation, hospitality, retail, and industrial verticals.

Hicon operates a project-based revenue model, earning income through individual construction contracts rather than recurring subscriptions. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, with direct engagement of government agencies, private enterprises, and multinational corporations, supported by a website with inquiry-driven 'Enquire Now' CTAs and an active Instagram channel (@hiconbuilding) for brand presence. The company is founder-led, with Blake Rendell serving as Managing Director and Peter Moore as Project Director; no external investment, private equity backing, or parent company ownership has been disclosed, and all operations are concentrated in New South Wales.
