Engineering Progress. Delivering Certainty.
Construction Built Design is a trusted partner in delivering complex infrastructure that drives meaningful change across cities, industries, and communities.
Our strength lies in navigating the scale and complexity of major infrastructure programs. We bring deep technical knowledge, strategic foresight, and multidisciplinary capability to every stage of the project lifecycle, turning challenges into opportunities through tailored solutions.
From critical transport corridors and tunnel systems to integrated urban networks and utility infrastructure, our portfolio spans the full spectrum of essential and emerging infrastructure. We integrate advanced technology, sustainable design principles, and robust construction methodologies to ensure every outcome is as reliable as it is forward-thinking.
What sets CBD apart is a focus on collaboration, precision, and enduring value.
GCLR3 comprises 6.7km of dual-track light rail, extending the existing light rail network from Broadbeach to Burleigh Heads along the Gold Coast Highway, including 8 light rail stations and upgrade & expansion of the existing depot and stabling facilities.
CBD were engaged during early works and main works contracts for the following services.
“Being a dense urban environment, Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3 presented highly congested under and above ground utilities within a brown field site. CBD were proud to be a part of the solution to untangle the utilities challenges, paving a clear path for light rail track construction”
Joseph Costello – CBD Design and Construction Project Manager
CRR comprises a 10.2km rail line between Dutton Park and Bowen Hills, with 5.9kms of tunnels and four stations at Boggo Road, Woolloongabba, Albert Street and Roma Street.
CBD were engaged during tender and main works contracts for the following services.
“CBD was in its formative years during this signature project, bringing together likeminded professionals to deliver a contract modification for the Southern Area, where the tunnel connected to the existing rail network. We developed the overall solution integrating utilities, civil structures, temporary works and rail staging. We successfully delivered a convincing solution to the CRR Delivery Authority and Queensland Rail given major rail disruption was the only viable solution. This outcome significantly derisked our Client of a critical scope element.”
James McNicol – Engineering Director
BNE Metro comprises the upgrading of 21kms of the existing busway network, 18 stations and construction of a mined tunnel within Adelaide St, to deliver a high-capacity and high-frequency Metro service.
CBD were engaged during tender and main works contracts for the following services.
“CBD determined the trinocular wall and binocular arch tunnelling methodology for the Adeliade Street Tunnel which was awarded the 2024 Queensland Major Contractors Association Innovation Award. The site exhibited challenging technical conditions, with our innovative solution successfully avoiding critical PUP infrastructure within close proximity to the tunnel structure.”
Michal Studzinski CBD Design and Digital Engineering Manager
The Loganlea Station will see the station relocate to a new site directly opposite Logan Hospital. The Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project will double the number of tracks between Kuraby and Beenleigh, upgrade stations to improve accessibility, remove 5 level crossings, improve park ‘n’ ride facilities, and provide a new ATC connecting to stations along the 20km project corridor.
CBD were engaged during tender for the following services.
“Loganlea Station and Gold Coast to Logan Faster Rail Projects form part of the public transport network to deliver patrons to the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games. It is exciting for CBD to be involved in the formative stages of these city changing projects that will serve as a crucial transportation legacy to South East Queensland, being one of Australia’s fastest growing regions. Bring on the games!”
Joseph Costello – CBD Design and Construction Project Manager
North East Link includes the two largest freeway overhauls in Victoria’s history, with 45 kilometres of new lanes & traffic management systems along the freeway to deliver 11-minute travel time savings and 10 kilometres of ATC.
CBD were engaged during the main works contract for the following services.
“North East Link comprises the largest tunnels constructed in the Southern Hemisphere. CBD are a strategic advisor to the project, bringing career long experience of over 20 years, sharing our expert design and construction knowledge ensuring the successful delivery of this mega engineering feat, changing the way people move around Melbourne.”
