Our story<\/p>

Thirty years of saying yes to the next challenge<\/h2>

We started in concreting in 1996. Each step since has come from the same instinct: back our people, invest in the gear, and take on the work others won’t. Today we deliver civil and building construction, property development, recycling, quarrying, materials supply, transport, plant hire and environmental services across the Territory, and take on suitable projects interstate.<\/p>

As an established, CAL-accredited contractor, DCT combines the resources and professionalism expected of a major construction company with the commitment and personal accountability of a family business. From major infrastructure projects to essential works in remote communities, we’re building more than projects. We’re building the Territory’s future.<\/p><\/div>
