Civil Construction refers to work associated with the construction of civil infrastructure and utilities. The State of Victoria is ever-expanding, both with growing population and the increased need for infrastructure required to support it. Billions of dollars are invested in the development of metropolitan and regional areas.
Examples of civil construction include; roadways, railways, bridges, waterworks, land-development, powerplants, airports, hospitals, government/municipal buildings, and much more.
There are thousands of businesses operating in Victoria’s Civil Construction Sector, each looking to win and deliver government tenders, private contracts of subcontractor agreements. Due to the scale of works, larger projects are known to be delivered by joint-ventures or partnerships between one or more civil contractors. It is also not uncommon for several subcontractors to be working on the same project at one time.
