Sectors and services
We build, repair and renew the nation’s vital services and infrastructure by providing a wide range of construction services, from project inception through to completion. This involves designing and building facilities that are used by everyone, including schools, hospitals, roads and water projects.
We work in partnership with clients throughout the entire project life cycle, from the moment it starts to long after it has finished.

- Early contractor involvement, engagement and advice to identify optimum solutions
- Reduced procurement costs, through fast-track and flexible options
- An outcome-based approach to focus on client and stakeholder priorities
- Opportunity to employ innovations and new technologies to improve productivity, safety and decarbonisation
