Other

Although the Company’s main focus has traditionally been on the construction of roads, earthworks and bridges, it has never avoided the challenge of undertaking “other” projects that could be considered different from the norm.

Successful contracting evolves around understanding a client’s needs, technical expertise, careful planning, and then dedication and hard work once the project commences.

Probuild Civil (QLD) Pty Ltd understands all of these issues and has the people to deliver outstanding outcomes on almost any type of civil engineering construction project.

Our major clients on these projects include:

• Port of Brisbane
• The Department of Transport and Main Roads
• Queensland Rail

Details of some of these “other” projects which are underway or have been successfully completed recently are listed below.
