We help contractors win the work, deliver it and get paid for it.
AusInfra Partners gives civil contractors, project teams and bid consultancies experienced commercial, tendering and project support when they need it. No full time hire and no long lead time.
Who we work with
Our team brings more than 20 years of major infrastructure delivery with Tier 1 contractors, on both sides of the contract.

Great at the work. Stuck on the paperwork?
A Tier 1 contractor asks for work method statements and work packs before you can mobilise. You know exactly how to do the job, but not how to write it the way they need to see it.
We sit down with your supervisor, capture how the work is really done and write it to the head contractor's standard. Then we respond to their comments until it is accepted.
How we work
Senior people, short notice and hours that suit construction.
We start with a conversation
Tell us what has landed and when it is due. We confirm the scope and the cost before we start.
We work in your systems
Your templates, your registers and your governance. Nothing for your team to learn.
We work when you can't
Weekdays after 4pm, Saturdays and Sunday mornings, at the same rates. Work briefed in the afternoon is often back the next morning.
We know where the line is
We give commercial and technical advice, not legal advice. When you need a lawyer we say so early and help you prepare the brief.
Let's talk over a coffee.
Tell us what is on your desk. We take on a limited number of clients so every job gets senior attention.
