As Queensland grapples with a severe housing crisis, the state has been jolted into action to increase the supply of affordable homes. According to a detailed analysis by The Conversation, the housing shortage has hit Queensland particularly hard, driving the government and private sector to ramp up efforts to address the issue. One significant response has been the surge in subdivisions across Brisbane, a strategic move to bolster the housing market and provide more affordable living options for residents.

As an up-and-coming family-owned civil construction company, OM Civil has been contracted by several property developers who have joined forces to tackle this crisis.

Over the past decade, OM Civil has become well known for our personalised and relationship-based approach. We have taken on numerous subdivision projects in Brisbane, contributing to the vacant land and housing supply. Our commitment to doing what we say we will do, ensuring our systems meet the highest safety, quality, and environmental standards, and delivering projects early and within budget has established us as a trusted partner in this critical initiative.

The Grange, Greenbank: Expanding Horizons with a Major Residential Brisbane Subdivision

OM Civil’s contributions to Brisbane’s housing supply exemplify our work on The Grange in Greenbank contracted by Avon Estates and Homecorp. This 120-lot residential subdivision is a testament to our capability and dedication to large-scale developments. Having secured all four stages of The Grange, OM Civil is undertaking extensive works crucial for this project’s successful completion.

The scope of work at The Grange includes the construction of retaining walls, bulk earthworks, sewer and stormwater systems, water infrastructure, and concrete and pavement works. Additionally, OM Civil is responsible for the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) service road drainage and pavement widening. This comprehensive approach ensures that The Grange will be a well-planned and fully serviced residential area, ready to accommodate new homeowners.

The Grange project highlights OM Civil’s versatility and expertise in managing and executing complex civil construction tasks. Our involvement in this project underscores our commitment to helping address the housing crisis by increasing the availability of affordable land and homes in the Brisbane area.

The numerous Brisbane subdivisions undertaken by OM Civil in and around Chambers Flat and Park Ridge remain a beacon of hope for many looking for affordable housing options in Brisbane. These projects involve meticulous planning and execution to deliver high-quality homes within a set timeframe and budget. By converting a substantial area into a residential haven, OM Civil and our clients directly address the pressing need for more housing in the region.

Pallara: Ongoing Developments for Modern Living

OM Civil is no stranger to performing civil works in and around Pallara, just 25 km from Brisbane’s CBD. Contracted by Ausbuild, three of our current projects in Pallara include a 24-lot residential subdivision on Sweets Road and a 17-lot and 15-lot residential subdivision on Kraft Road. All projects involve extensive civil works, including bulk earthworks, retaining walls, pipe installation, pavement, and concrete.

This dedication is evidenced by the additional projects currently underway.
