Planning Gateways
Project Management
Tender and Bid Advisory
Design Management

Having led and won major project tenders, we have refined winning strategies over the years, that produce results in both Price and Non-Price categories. We prefer to focus on the big impact Win themes rather than a beautifully crafted novel with a disappointing ending.

Our experienced team handles all aspects of project delivery, offering pragmatic, solutions-focused management. We excel at navigating unique project challenges, regardless of size or complexity and can offer end to end service.

We oversee the design and delivery of projects, managing design consultants, authorities, and stakeholders to achieve desired outcomes while prioritising safety, sustainability, and quality.

Our comprehensive suite of procurement management services is always tailored to your unique project requirements. From planning and strategic sourcing to contract negotiation and vendor management, we’ll ensure a seamless and cost-effective procurement process. We have access to in-house cost planners and estimators and can offer a range of feasibility and commercial management resources.

Our specialised range of construction consulting services adds value at any project stage. We lead project teams, negotiate contracts, assist in procurement, logistics planning, and provide reliable performance monitoring and reporting and can provide additional specialist resources for critical roles in key projects such as cost planning.

We assist in early project stages, providing strategies for project delivery, stakeholder engagement, and procurement while managing risks effectively.

Navigating your project through constantly changing planning pathways can be a maze of endless U turns. We have specialists that have navigated the main planning approval pathways including Regionally Significant Developments and State Significant Developments.

We offer feasibility consulting services to maximize development potential, exploring options, assessing risks and opportunities, and providing a pathway from feasibility through to planning, construction procurement and through to project delivery. We have in house Development Managers that have worked for both ASX listed companies and well known private firms.

OUR PEOPLE

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"John Basilisco was the NSW State Manager of ADCO Constructions who I engaged to construct my new autobody dealership at Alexandria. During the pre-construction stages through to completion of construction, John was committed to our project and to achieving our high expectations and quality standard of finishes.

John’s attention to detail during the tender and negotiation stage was very professional and his understanding and experience of construction and contract documentation was evident. This was a complicated build. John and his team provided constructive solutions to several challenges we experienced - communication and responsiveness in working with us to resolve issues promptly as they arose was appreciated.

VINCE MURITI / MANAGING DIRECTOR PERFECT AUTO BODY

TESTIMONIALS

"John and his team stood out from the competition in the Early Tender Involvement by their approach to the delivery and the quality expected on the Bays Pavilion. As a major project for this region and local government, we needed a trusted partner to deliver for the Eurobodalla shire council.

Both the client team and the delivery team maintained their working relationship and mutual respect in the highest regard, and I would suggest it was an exemplary display of great management and leadership. I would welcome the opportunity to work with John and his team again."

LINDSAY USHER / DIRECTOR PLANNING AND SUSTAINABILITY SERVICES

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"John and his team delivered 5 projects for TfNSW under a framework agreement between 2021 – 2023.

The team delivered an exceptional product in all instances and were extremely diligent and responsive."

SENIOR PROJECT DIRECTOR / TFNSW

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"During my time as CEO, we embarked on the transformational change of our main training facility which John and his team delivered for us.
