Our business is our people, and our people have taken out top honours at the Queensland Excellence Awards

BMD was founded on the principle of achieving success through people. We upskill, develop and provide a supportive environment to empower our employees to be the best they can be.

BMD employs some of the industry’s top performers which is evident in the high performance of our project teams and the high calibre of our staff. At the Civil Contractors Federation Queensland Excellence Awards held over the weekend, BMD won almost 70% of the People and Training Awards.
