About us

Delivering excellence from the ground up

Successfully delivering quality infrastructure assets for the public and private sectors for over two decades.

Welcome to Universal Civil Contracting

Founded in 2001, Universal Civil Contracting is a proudly family-owned business with over two decades of experience delivering high-quality civil construction services across Queensland. From humble beginnings, we’ve built a strong reputation as a trusted partner in the industry — known for our integrity, skilled workmanship, and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.

Our story began with founder Peter Biondic, who entered the industry as a machine operator. Driven by determination and a hands-on approach, Peter taught himself how to estimate and manage projects successfully. With a clear vision and a relentless work ethic, he purchased his first machine and operated it himself, laying the foundations for what would become Universal Civil Contracting.

Over the years, Peter’s leadership and dedication have seen the business grow steadily — evolving from a one-man operation into a thriving company with a team of 20+ skilled professionals and a fleet of more than 30 machines. Despite this growth, we’ve remained true to our core values: delivering quality civil construction with transparency, professionalism, and a personal touch.

Today, Universal Civil Contracting continues to support builders, developers, and government clients by providing reliable and efficient civil construction solutions — built on decades of experience, and backed by a commitment to excellence.

Our Journey

What started as a small family venture has evolved into a medium-sized business recognised for consistently delivering outstanding results. Our growth has been fuelled by dedication, hard work of our staff and employees, and a genuine passion for what we do. Throughout the years, we’ve built long-standing relationships with clients who value our hands-on approach and attention to detail.

Our Values

As a family-run company, our core values are at the heart of everything we do:

  • Trust – We honour our commitments and do the right thing, even when no one is watching.
  • Collaboration – We work side-by-side with clients, consultants, and subcontractors to achieve shared success.
  • Respect – We value every team member, stakeholder, and community we work within.
  • Pride – We treat every project as if it were our own, striving for quality in every detail.

These values guide how we operate, build relationships, and deliver results that stand the test of time.

Our Expertise

Relationships & Affiliations
Committed to Queensland civil construction

Universal Civil is committed to continuous improvement within the Queensland civil construction industry. To achieve this, we focus on building close and collaborative relationships with our clients, external stakeholders and regulatory bodies.

By building these crucial relationships with all parties involved in a civil construction project, we can ensure projects are delivered on time and in-line with our client’s expectations and that of the community and local and state government authorities.

An important part of contributing to this is our affiliation with Civil Contractions Foundation (CCF), Queensland’s peak civil construction association.

The CCF is an integral part of the civil construction industry and plays an integral role in advocating the interests of members to government bodies. The CCF is committed to working with contractors to understand the changes the industry is going through and we are proud of our association.

Our Strengths
Our Innovative Technology and Equipment

We harness cutting-edge technology to deliver precision, efficiency, and reliability across every project. Our GPS machine control systems enable pinpoint accuracy in grading and excavation, reducing material waste and ensuring alignment with design specifications. Using topographical drones, we capture high-resolution aerial imagery and detailed site data, which is transformed into actionable insights through advanced surveying software. This allows us to plan excavation volumes, create 3D site models, and optimise workflows. Our fleet of late-model earthmoving equipment is meticulously maintained and fitted with the latest tech for peak on-site performance. We also rely on cloud-based project management software to track progress in real-time, manage resources effectively, and ensure seamless communication between teams and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
