For contractors

Stormwater and excavation subcontractor

We work mainly for civil contractors. We also work for builders and developers. We understand what the client needs because of our background – not just our stormwater scope, but the whole project working seamlessly. This page sets out what we do, the plant and crew we bring, and how to engage us.

What we do

Crew and tickets

We have a core crew of 15–20, plus labour hire and subcontractors as needed. Our team has people in key roles, including a construction manager, crew leaders, and HR and admin support.

All crew hold a White Card. Our crew hold the tickets and qualifications their work needs, including plant operator VOCs (verifications of competency) and statements of attainment, first aid, and site-specific training, and we upskill as projects require.

Safety and silica

We work to each client's site inductions and join their toolbox talks, and run our own when a job or incident calls for it. Every job has SWMS (safe work method statements) and daily pre-starts, and we carry out silica exposure monitoring. Job logging and record-keeping are done in our own digital site app.

Following the tighter national rules on respirable crystalline silica, we commissioned independent exposure monitoring for our own work and have put every recommendation from that company-specific report into practice.

Insurances

Douglass Civil Pty Ltd holds $20 million public liability insurance, workers compensation, and plant and vehicle insurance. Certificates of currency are available to any client on request.

Site records

Records you can rely on

Douglass Civil runs its own purpose-built site app. Our crews log pipe, pits and rock as the work goes in, even offline, sign hourly hire dockets and SWMS (where the client uses them) on their phones, and work from the latest plans. You get accurate, up-to-date records and clear, fast progress claims backed by what was actually built.
