Henry & Hymas
The Sydney and now Brisbane based company burst onto the scene in 1985 with a new form of construction for the Australian market. “They helped introduce tilt-up construction to Australia,” Director Bruce Bradnam says of founding partners Geoff Henry and Ian Hymas, who borrowed the innovative concept from America. “Up until then, most Australian industrial buildings were steel framed with blockwork walls which was labour intensive, time consuming and involved erecting a lot of scaffolding.

Reilly Contractors
Originally from the United Kingdom, Mike Reilly started Reilly Contractors with his wife Liz after working for years in project management in Australia. “Three years ago, I decided I’d give it a go on my own,” he explains. Liz Reilly worked in marketing in the United Kingdom and used her expertise in establishing the branding of the company, including the logo that is used on all company gear as well as using the web to market the company’s services.
Rock Development Group
That was something of an odd reaction, according to Maria Efkarpidis, because what Rock Development Group (Rock DG) was putting forward was hardly radical. Instead, it was a return in principle to a very old traditional way of living – the community and its living and working spaces grouped around marketplace where its members can eat and socialise.
South Coast Sand & Civil
The company was started by Don and Lois Fladrich in 1970. Family operations don’t typically start with a lot of capital, so an eight tonne truck was the first driver of the business. The company grew gradually and, in 1982, son Stephen Fladrich joined the operation. At that time, there were five employees using half a dozen pieces of equipment. In 1990, when Stephen bought the company from his parents, there were between ten and fifteen employees. He has been running it ever since.
