Recognition earned through our values, strengthened by our skills and backed by proven systems.

CCF NSW | Civil Contractors Federation NSW Earth Award

We are thrilled to announce that Brefni has WON the CCF NSW | Civil Contractors Federation NSW Earth Award for our Leura Central Culvert Upgrade project!

This award celebrates the outstanding efforts of our team in delivering a technically complex stormwater upgrade within a highly constrained, heritage-listed, and environmentally sensitive area in the heart of the Blue Mountains.

A huge congratulations to everyone involved — this is a well-deserved recognition of your expertise, teamwork, and commitment to quality.

Thank you to CCF NSW | Civil Contractors Federation NSW for this honour and for hosting a fantastic awards night, celebrating excellence across the civil construction industry.

Congratulations also to our fellow finalists, including our incredible Stockton Seawall project team. While they narrowly missed out on the $5–10 million category, they were our biggest cheerleaders on the night!

CCF NSW | Civil Contractors Federation NSW 2024 Earth Awards

Reflecting on our incredible journey, we are thrilled to look back at our recognition at the CCF NSW | Civil Contractors Federation NSW 2024 Earth Awards. Winning the award for ‘Excellence in Civil Construction’ was a proud moment for our team, and a testament to their hard work.

Thank you to CCF NSW | Civil Contractors Federation NSW for hosting a wonderful event that celebrated the industry’s finest achievements.

We are also grateful to our partners at Sydney Trains, our suppliers, subcontractors, and the community who were pivotal in the successful delivery of the St James Maintenance Shaft Project – a complex, heritage infrastructure project in one of Sydney’s busiest locations. Our goal was to “Keep Sydney Flowing,” and thanks to the collaborative efforts of everyone involved, we achieved it.

Congratulations to our fellow finalists and winners in other categories at the CCF NSW | Civil Contractors Federation NSW Earth Awards. We’re excited to carry this momentum forward as we look ahead to the CCF National Awards.
