Partnering with public, private, government (local & state), mining and commercial sectors; CiteCon have the capacity to deliver design, project-manage, commercial and civil construction, installation of infrastructure and maintenance solutions across Australia.

CiteCon was established by third-generation builder Brad Gardner after identifying a gap in the mining and construction industries for building projects in the Mackay, Whitsunday, and Bowen Basin Regions.

Grandson of the late Francis Gardner Snr; founder of one of Queensland’s largest construction companies Brad gained invaluable insight into the construction industry from a young age, working in the family business specialising in commercial construction.

At CiteCon we believe in investing in people and regions, through employing local workers, subcontractors, and suppliers.
