Engineering & Construction

The engineering and construction industry profoundly shapes our world. The highways, bridges and railways we traverse each day, the airports and harbours from which we travel, our homes and offices - even the water we drink - are outputs of Australian engineering and construction ingenuity.

With this kind of impact, engineering and construction organisations bear a heavy responsibility and are faced with some unique business challenges. Whether they focus their energies in the public or private sector, their challenges remain the same, and include:
  • Advanced technology
  • Demands for lower-priced contracts
  • Effective property management
  • Increased competition
  • Increased pressure on public spending
  • New forms of procurement driven by higher customer expectations
  • Niche players
  • The need for lower costs and shorter completion times.
In addition to these challenges, engineering and construction companies must continue to meet strict compliance, regulatory and tax requirements, while maintaining high standards in environmental management.
