About QBuild

As the Queensland Government’s trusted builder, QBuild plays a vital role in supporting our state’s $59 billion* building and construction sector.

We provide a broad range of professional and technical services across 4 core areas:

  • Planning: we’re here to help plan the delivery of your capital works and preventative maintenance programs. We can also assist with packaging works to achieve better value for money.
  • Building: we partner with industry to deliver essential public infrastructure like schools, social housing, police stations, correctional facilities and healthcare centres, along with major capital projects that help to shape Queensland.
  • Maintaining: we offer advice and leadership to ensure public assets present and perform to the standards Queenslanders expect.
  • Responding: our teams are among the first to respond to severe weather events, swiftly repairing and rebuilding government-owned assets so communities can recover as quickly as possible.

At QBuild, our commitment to continuous improvement drives us to uphold the highest standards of quality, safety and value, ensuring the best outcomes for Queenslanders and our customers.

With a workforce of over 1700 across 20 offices, 35 depots and 3 Rapid Accommodation and Apprenticeship Centres, we are well-positioned to support our expanding pipeline of projects.

Through our ongoing growth and expansion, QBuild aims to:

  • create local jobs for trade-qualified professionals
  • provide education and training for aspiring tradespeople

  • support critical infrastructure projects for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) program

QBuild’s MMC program is transforming how homes are built, delivering high-quality housing faster, to help ease pressure in regional and remote Queensland.

Our mission is simple: build more homes, deliver them faster and ensure enduring quality – all through innovation.

By partnering with the modular home industry, we’re streamlining the construction process.

While sites are being prepared, homes are simultaneously manufactured and pre-assembled in factories, significantly reducing project timelines.

These homes will play a vital role in:

  • providing much-needed social housing in high-demand communities
  • accommodating essential frontline workers like teachers, healthcare professionals and emergency services personnel who would otherwise rent from the private market.

Rapid Accommodation and Apprenticeship Centres (RAACs)

To drive innovation in prefabricated home construction, QBuild has established RAACs at:

  • Eagle Farm and Zillmere (Brisbane)
  • Portsmith (Cairns).

These facilities play a key role in our MMC program, bringing together QBuild tradies, apprentices, support staff and local workers through industry partnerships and on-site completion contracts.

By combining hands-on training with cutting-edge construction techniques, RAACs are accelerating the delivery of high-quality homes, creating new job opportunities and strengthening Queensland’s skilled workforce.
