Flood and disaster reconstruction under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, delivered to the TMR MRTS specification series and the Queensland Reconstruction Authority's audit requirements. It is the hardest specification regime in regional civil, and the one we know best.
Program figures: Queensland Reconstruction Authority and the 2025–26 Queensland Budget. Reconstruction funding follows each declared event, so the pipeline runs season after season.
DRFA tenders are scored against QRA audit requirements and the TMR MRTS series, not commercial norms. A methodology that reads like a commercial job loses marks before it is read in full.
On remote unsealed networks, gravel supply and haul logistics decide whether the program is real. Most submissions price the work and never model the constraint that controls it.
Acquittal is unforgiving. If evidence is not captured live and to QRA standard, the funding is exposed at audit, after the work is done and the money is spent.
Activations move fast and over holidays. The contractor who can mobilise crews into remote country in days, not weeks, earns the trust that wins the next package.
A council DRFA package across hundreds of kilometres of unsealed road, where gravel supply is the critical path and the haul controls the program.
Methodology and program to MRTS, gravel-supply sequencing, and the full submission.
Rebuilding a floodway or causeway to a more resilient standard under the 50:50 betterment arrangements, where the case for betterment has to be made, not assumed.
Betterment justification, design-scope review, and defensible pricing.
A live reconstruction package at risk of audit findings, with claims slipping and the acquittal file falling behind the work.
Embedded as project manager, quality and environmental lead, building the audit-ready file from the first claim.
Whether it is a tender about to drop or a job already on site, this is the work RIG is built for. Start with a conversation.
