We are proud to support the Department of Defence in delivering and enhancing capability across Australia's Defence Estate.

As a trusted pair of hands for the Department of Defence and its delivery partners, we have earned a reputation for offering quality, reliability and compliance.

With over 9 years of continuous Defence project delivery, we have developed a strong understanding of the sector’s operational, technical, and compliance requirements.

Defence projects are often complex and highly regulated, and we bring the full breadth of our architectural and design management expertise—shaped by experience across residential, health, education, commercial, and infrastructure portfolios—to deliver practical, robust, and fit-for-purpose Defence facilities.

    • Estate Works program focus

      • 9+ years experience

      • 50+ projects

      • 400k to $20m contract value range

      • $110m+ total contract value

  • Our Defence projects are always delivered in close collaboration with Project Managers representing the Department of Defence. In these projects, we more often provide services in the role of Architect, and extend our responsibilities as Design Managers. We also work seamlessly within larger consultant teams and alongside builders to ensure project outcomes are delivered efficiently and to Defence standards.

     

    We typically work with:

    • Project Managers/Project Delivery Services – representing the Department of Defence and leading project delivery.

    • Co-consultant teams – multidisciplinary design and engineering groups.

    • Builders – during construction, delivery phases, as well as Short Delivery Method projects.
