R Con Civil is a civil construction contractor based in Hall, ACT, working on commercial and project sites across Canberra. Our crews take a job from the first earthworks cut to the finished road, with our own trucks and water carts on site.
Commercial civil construction is our main focus, along with larger industrial and project work. Our clients are mostly head contractors and developers, with councils and government teams on public works.
Among civil construction companies in Canberra, we keep the digging and the trucking in one business. That means fewer handovers between subcontractors and one program for the civil stage.
Getting ground ready to build on, from basement and footing digs to bringing sites to design levels. Commercial builders bring us in at the start of a project, and our trucks take the spoil off as the dig goes.
The civil stage of a subdivision, from a single lot to a multi-lot estate, brought together on one program. Developers use it to get lots ready to hand over to builders.
Stormwater drainage built to the engineer’s design on subdivisions and roads, with culvert work where an existing road holds water. It suits developers and road owners dealing with water on site.
Water main work and service trenching during the civil stage of a new development, sequenced with the roads and drainage. Developers book it when planning how mains water will reach each lot.
New roads, and upgrades to failing ones, built up from the drainage and subgrade. Councils and rural landowners call us when a road needs building or bringing back into service.
Bulk material carted in our own side tippers and truck and dogs, timed to the excavator or receiving site. Contractors use it to keep the trucks and the crew on one program.
Excavated soil taken off site at the pace it comes out of the ground, so the work area stays open. Builders and infrastructure contractors use it on tight sites with nowhere to stockpile.
Quarry materials ordered to a specification and delivered by truck to the crew placing them. Contractors and councils use it to supply a pavement or fill job.
Potable water carted to construction sites for dust control and site supply until mains water is connected. Site teams in Canberra and on remote regional projects book our carts.
We run our own fleet, so the trucks turn up on our schedule. It includes:
Loads are booked around the excavator and the site program, and spoil goes out on the schedule the crew is working to.
Most civil jobs follow the same path:
CASE STUDY
A failing private access road near Yass, NSW, rebuilt in three weeks with box culverts and a full regrade. The property now has all-weather access, and the client has given us repeat work.
A rural property owner in Yass, NSW needed a reliable access solution for a deteriorating private road. Seasonal water pooling, poor drainage, and failing surface materials caused ongoing access issues and safety concerns. The client required a fast, permanent road upgrade within a strict three-week timeframe.
R Con Civil conducted a detailed site inspection and identified key drainage failures and structural issues. We replaced substandard concrete pipes with engineered box culverts, regraded the road for proper water runoff, and rebuilt critical elevations to enhance long-term durability. A transparent scope of works and cost breakdown were delivered upfront, ensuring alignment with the client’s expectations.
Completed on time and within budget, the upgraded road now offers all-weather access year-round. The improved drainage and surface structure increased property safety and usability, and we continue to provide scheduled maintenance. This successful rural road construction project led to repeat work from the client.
CASE STUDY
NSW-registered potable water carts supplying remote alpine construction sites in the Snowy Mountains. Routes and drop schedules are planned around weather and moving work zones.
The Snowy 2.0 Hydroelectric Scheme required a consistent, long-term supply of potable water to remote alpine construction sites. The project faced complex challenges including extreme weather, remote access, steep terrain and changing site logistics. R Con Civil was chosen as the preferred civil contractor for water delivery.
We mobilised a large fleet of NSW-registered potable water carts, implementing a 24/7 delivery schedule that adapted to evolving construction zones and strict compliance requirements. Coordination with multiple site teams and continual route planning were crucial to ensuring uninterrupted water availability over the life of the project.
Over five years of continuous service, R Con Civil delivered 100% compliance with the client’s supply schedule. Our flexible approach and reliable fleet management contributed to the successful progress of Snowy 2.0, earning us contract extensions and long-standing trust.
