We combine exceptional talent with leading digital construction methods, in-house engineering, and the strength of global capability. Our diverse portfolio spans all sectors, with a focus on projects where we can create the greatest value.
Our ethos is ‘building the best together’, and collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We work closely with our partners, local delivery teams, and communities to achieve the best outcomes—together.

#Local Experience
Entrepreneurship and nation building
Our rich Australian history has been four decades in the making and is defined by long-standing partnerships and intimate local knowledge. Now backed by the global strength of the BESIX Group, we incorporate world’s-best practice and the latest innovation into all our projects.
Acclaimed in-house engineering units in Brisbane, Brussels and Dubai ensure a razor-sharp focus on optimal design and a ‘no surprises’ approach to execution. From the tallest building in the world, to the largest museum to more than 45 stadiums, 50 hospitals, bridges, port infrastructure, and water treatment plants – every project is delivered with excellence. A private company with a flat structure, we are lean and agile; able to make decisions fast. This ‘human sized’ approach guarantees cost effective outcomes.
But that’s not the only reason our clients value us. As genuine relationship contractors, we are invested in our client’s success. Eighty percent of our business is repeat. With strong local connections, particularly through regional Australia, we are committed to maximising jobs and home-grown content.
We create opportunities for our people, clients and communities, leaving a positive legacy for future generations. We:
Bring the strength and combined experience of Watpac and BESIX to clients
Are a trusted partner for Government through delivery excellence and Public Private Partnerships
Have expanded our local portfolio to specialist marine and civil construction, and water infrastructure projects
Leverage in-house engineering to de-risk and add value to projects.
