Remote Infrastructure Group
The pre-contracts & delivery team, without the full-time payroll

Win more work.
Do less paperwork.
Keep more money.

We’re the estimating, bid and delivery team a regional contractor can’t justify hiring full-time, bolted onto your business. We win you the work, help run the job, and take the paperwork off your plate. Run by Heath, who’s personally managed the delivery of $133M+ of government work, not an agency.

Regional & remote civil

Built for the work that happens a long way from the city.

Most tendering and admin help is written for metro jobs. Ours isn’t. We work in regional and remote Australia, where the haul distances are real, the labour market is thin, and a methodology that ignores access and logistics loses marks before it’s read. We price and write for the job as it actually runs out there, because that’s where we’ve run it.

Distance & logistics

Mobilising crews and plant hours from the nearest town, through wet seasons and over holidays. We price the logistics the city firms leave out, the ones the Superintendent finds at the first progress meeting.

Access & the spec

Remote community pavement, DRFA reconstruction, hard-rock and resources sites, written to the MRTS series and QRA audit requirements, not metro commercial norms.

Thin on the ground

Out here the field is thin and good contractors lose work on the paperwork, not the capability. We're the pre-contracts and delivery team you can't justify hiring full-time.

The foundation

Every contractor needs a company brain. We build it.

It is the same system RIG runs on, built for your business: your capability, compliance and job records in one place, your admin done for you, and a website that actually wins work. Built on Heath’s own $133M+ of real civil delivery, not theory.

  • WinAlways submission-ready: capability, compliance and records in one place.

How We Win

From tender to profitable completion.

From submission to final claim, we make sure every dollar you bid is a dollar you keep. One discipline, applied across the whole campaign of work.

  1. 01

    Bid / No-Bid Assessment

    We review the scope, site conditions, contract framework, and your capacity before you commit.

  2. 02

    Tender Strategy & Methodology

    Construction methodology, program, staging diagrams, and compliance matrix, written to your contract conditions and structured the way evaluators score it.

  3. 03

    Submission & Pricing Support

    Full submission compiled, reviewed, and finalised before lodgement. Price build-ups checked against your methodology so your numbers and your story match.

  4. 04

    Mobilisation & Delivery Setup

    IMS, QA frameworks, and site-specific management plans ready before your first crew arrives, so you're not writing documents while you're trying to run a job.

  5. 05

    On-Site Delivery Support

    Contract administration, progress claims, cost forecasting, and Superintendent correspondence, managed properly so variations stick and nothing falls through on final account.

  6. 06

    Close-Out & Capability Build

    QA closed out cleanly, as-builts in order, and a documented record of what worked. Every engagement makes your next submission stronger.

The Tender Readiness Model

We score you the way the panel will, then close the gap.

Every submission is marked across the same dimensions. Most contractors are strong on site and thin on paper, so the score never reflects the capability. We map where you sit, then build each axis up until the submission is impossible to mark down.

From the work

Built from real delivery, not theory.

Remote roads, drainage, sealing and reconstruction across regional Queensland and New South Wales. This is the work behind the advice.

The contractors I see losing tenders they should win all have one thing in common: their submission doesn’t reflect their capability. The methodology is vague. The program doesn’t stack up. The management plans look like they were copied from another submission. I built RIG to fix that, because I’ve spent my career on the delivery side of these contracts, and I understand exactly what evaluators need to see.

Founder, Remote Infrastructure Group
Who you’re working with

Consultants give opinions. Practitioners give answers.

RIG wasn’t built by consultants who study government roadwork. It was founded by a practitioner with a career spanning $133M+ in DRFA and government road reconstruction, writing the methodologies, building the programs, and managing the relationships that kept those projects compliant and profitable.

Common questions

Answers, straight.

The questions contractors ask before they pick up the phone.

What does Remote Infrastructure Group do?

Remote Infrastructure Group (RIG) is a principal-led civil infrastructure consultancy. We help Tier 2-3 civil contractors win government tenders and protect margin through delivery, across DRFA disaster reconstruction, TMR contracts and regional council civil. We write the tenders, build the methodology and pricing, develop capability and prequals, and support delivery from mobilisation to final claim.

Who does RIG work with?

We work with Tier 2-3 civil contractors across regional and remote Australia, typically firms strong on site but under-resourced on the tender and compliance side. We work with one contractor per region and keep that relationship confidential.

What is DRFA and does RIG do DRFA tenders?

DRFA is the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, the joint Commonwealth-State program that funds reconstruction after declared natural disasters. It is the core of what RIG does. We prepare and support DRFA reconstruction tenders to the TMR MRTS specification series and the Queensland Reconstruction Authority's audit requirements, and we embed in delivery on remote DRFA packages.

How is RIG different from a normal tendering consultant?

RIG is principal-led and built from delivery, not theory. The founder has managed the delivery of more than $133 million in government roadwork, so submissions are written by someone who has sat in the delivery seat. Our commercial model is built around aligned outcomes rather than billable hours, so our interest sits with your result.

Can RIG help with delivery, not just tenders?

Yes. We stay on through delivery to protect the margin you tendered, with Superintendent review support, ITPs and audit-ready quality records, RFIs, variations, progress claims, cost forecasting and DRFA acquittal. Where it suits the job, we embed as project manager on a fractional basis.

What is a Company Brain?

A Company Brain is the system RIG sets up so a contractor's capability evidence, compliance, certifications and project records are structured, searchable and always submission-ready, with automations that track expiries and deadlines. It is powered by Outpost, the system RIG runs on.

Where is RIG based and where do you work?

RIG is based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, and works with contractors across regional and remote Australia, with the deepest delivery experience in Queensland and New South Wales, including the Gulf, North West, Central and Far North Queensland and the NSW Mid North Coast.

Start the conversation

Have you ever lost a job you knew you should have won?

Most contractors write their own submissions. Most contractors wonder why they keep losing. A short conversation will tell you whether RIG is the right fit, with no obligation either way.
