Built on integrity and
quality workmanship
APS is a family owned civil construction company based in Pakenham, with a team of 25 and our own fleet of plant. We specialise in local government work across South East Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland delivering concrete, civil, drainage and open space services to councils across the region.
"I started APS in 2011 with a clear goal: deliver quality civil and drainage work, on time, with minimal fuss for the client. That goal hasn't changed as we've grown. We still approach every project the same way, assess the site conditions, develop a solution that actually works for that specific job, and get it done to a standard we're proud of. Local government projects require a particular kind of contractor, one who understands council processes, communicates without needing to be chased, and can be trusted to manage a live site without constant council team involvement."

Why Choose APS Drainage & Civil
We work almost exclusively with councils, which means we understand council procurement, contract conditions, and the expectations that come with
delivering on public assets and shared community spaces across South-East Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland regions..
Experienced & Professional
Licensed and registered plumbers, backed by a multiskilled team of concreters, civil workers and plant operators. Across the crew we hold tickets in confined space entry, MRWA sewer laying, trenching and shoring, plant operations and Melbourne Water environmental training, so we can self-deliver across all four service areas without relying on subcontractors.
We manage projects from the first site visit through to final reinstatement, with minimal input required from the council team. Our team communicates
proactively, flags issues early, and keeps the programme moving.
Site Specific Solutions
We don’t apply a standard approach to every job. Before we price a project, we look at the site conditions, the constraints, and what the finished
product actually needs to do. That means fewer surprises during construction and better outcomes for the council and the community.
