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.
