Defence

Our trusted expertise enables the delivery of high-security, sustainable and operationally effective defence infrastructure and assets that support Australia’s long-term defence strategy. Through rigorous cost control, value-driven procurement strategies and lifecycle cost analysis, we help defence clients optimise budgets, manage risks and future-proof their investments. 

Australia’s defence sector is undergoing rapid expansion to strengthen national security, enhance sovereign capability and meet evolving geopolitical challenges. With record investments in defence logistics, emerging technologies, and facilities to support new submarines and littoral fleets, the sector faces increasing pressure to deliver complex projects on time and within budget. Combined with rising construction costs, supply chain disruptions, and the need for long-term asset sustainability, this creates significant financial and operational risks. 

Stringent regulatory and security requirements add to the complexity of defence procurement and project delivery. The sector must also balance sustainability commitments with the need for resilient and relevant infrastructure, ensuring defence assets remain operationally effective while meeting environmental and compliance standards.
