Our history and growth

Adams and Co Constructions began as a plumbing business, with Craig Adams working as a self-employed plumber and builder from 1989. As client needs evolved, the business expanded beyond plumbing and was formally established in its current structure in 2004, developing in-house capability across civil works and building construction.

Over more than three decades, the business has grown into a family-operated company, with its three sons involved in plumbing, civil works, building, and electrical services. This hands-on structure has supported a more traditional approach to construction, where core trades are delivered by the team, supported by company-owned plant and equipment.

The business has also played a strong role in industry training, with more than 10 apprentices trained since the early 1990s, several of whom now operate successful businesses of their own. Experience gained across residential homes, commercial upgrades, public infrastructure, community facilities, and projects in regional and remote locations continues to shape how Adams and Co Constructions approaches planning, coordination and delivery today.

An integrated approach to project delivery

Many construction projects involve multiple disciplines working together, particularly where civil works, building activity and services overlap. Adams and Co Constructions operates with an integrated delivery model that brings civil, building, plumbing and electrical capability together under one coordinated structure.

This approach helps simplify project planning, manage trade interfaces, and reduce on-site handovers. It also supports clearer communication with clients, consultants and authorities throughout the delivery process.
