Our Story

We believe success is best achieved by delivering together.

Contrado was formed in 2015 with the belief that introducing private sector delivery experience into major public infrastructure projects unlocks greater delivery and development opportunities.

Contrado translates to ‘deliver together’. This concept is at the core of our approach to how we work with each other, our clients and their teams. 

What we stand for

  • Collaboration.

    We deliver together.

  • Respect.

    For everyone.

  • Responsibility.

    Corporately and socially.

  • Accountability.

    We do what we say.

  • Courage.

    To consider and lead.

We are our people

We invest in the right people, who reflect our core values and bring real, meaningful delivery experience. This means we can offer our clients the right technical and culture fit for the project needs.

Our people share our passion for creating the best places, bring strategic relationships with key stakeholders and have hands on delivery experience.

Our investment in our people does not stop once they are on a project. We take great pride in our collective knowledge and experience, which is continuously shared to further develop our people and enhance the value they can add to our client’s projects.
