Unlocking hidden value across the full infrastructure project lifecycle

We work with government agencies, asset owners and private sector organisations to plan, deliver and manage complex infrastructure projects, embedding within client teams to bring clarity, confidence and practical leadership where it matters most. 

Better decisions, stronger delivery, lasting legacy

CPM supports infrastructure owners and delivery partners across the full project lifecycle, from early investment thinking through to procurement, delivery, handover and long-term asset performance. Our role is to help inform client decision-making, maintain control in complex environments and achieve outcomes that stand up over time. 

CPM’s people are practitioners who understand how projects are planned, procured, built and operated, and how early decisions influence cost, risk, performance and long-term value.  

How we work matters as much as what we deliver. CPM is a people-first, collaborative and values-led company, with an employee-owned model that reinforces accountability, shared success and true care for our clients. We aim not only to deliver well, but to leave projects and client teams stronger at the end of every engagement. 

What sets CPM apart?

Icon representing infrastructure intelligence

Infrastructure intelligence grounded in delivery

We bring deep market knowledge and practical delivery experience to every engagement. Our advice is shaped by real project experience, helping clients make confident, defensible decisions. 

We share this knowledge openly, strengthening capability within our clients’ teams and supporting long-term success beyond a single project. 

Icon representing embedded expertise and connected capability

Embedded expertise, connected capability

We integrate seamlessly into client teams, working within existing systems, governance and delivery environments. This one-team approach supports clarity, continuity, alignment and momentum from day one. 

Behind every individual is the collective experience of the CPM team, giving access to broader insight, specialist capability and stronger problem-solving when it matters. 

Icon representing employee owned for shared success

Employee-owned, invested in outcomes

CPM is employee-owned, creating a direct connection between our people, our clients and project outcomes. Our team brings consistency, accountability and a genuine commitment to delivering results. 

When our clients succeed, our people succeed – reinforcing a culture of ownership, care and long-term focus. 

Icon representing agility and flexibility

Agility that matches the project

We adapt to the needs of each project, scaling capability, adjusting roles and bringing the right expertise at the right time. 

The resulting flexibility allows us to respond quickly, manage complexity effectively and maintain momentum as projects evolve. 

OUR EXPERIENCE

Proven experience across complex infrastructure projects

For more than two decades, CPM has worked alongside public and private sector clients on projects of significant scale and complexity across sectors.  

We have supported clients from early strategy and business case development through to procurement, delivery, commissioning, handover and long-term asset performance. That breadth of experience allows us to connect decisions across the lifecycle, helping clients avoid fragmentation, manage risk earlier and maintain a clearer line of sight from project intent to project outcome. 

Claremont Special School

Claremont Special School provides education for students with special needs from Prep to Year 12. In response to enrolment growth, the Queensland Department of Education progressed a two-stage expansion comprising new two-storey general learning centres and associated learning, amenities, access, parking and landscape works.

The Wave (Sunshine Coast Rail Line)

The Wave is a major Queensland Government public transport initiative delivering a new passenger rail line from Beerwah to Birtinya, with a metro-style connection to the Sunshine Coast Airport via Maroochydore. Sunshine Coast Council engaged CPM to provide strategic advisory and technical support to negotiate an Interface Deed with the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), ensuring Council’s long-term interests, obligations and community outcomes are protected across all stages of this transformational project.

Aura and Harmony Program

With a projected population of 69,000 residents in Aura by 2056 and 20,000 residents in Harmony by 2026, essential water and wastewater assets will be required to service the communities. Unitywater’s program of works is providing these essential services and is vital in meeting the future demands of the growing communities, ensuring their long-term sustainability and development.

Seqwater Dam Improvement Program

In accordance with its Dam Safety Management Program and Dam Safety Policy, is undertaking the planning and delivery of the upgrade of the Somerset, Wivenhoe, North Pine and Lake Macdonald dams. The dams plan an important role in the South East Queensland water grid and continued performance and safety is critical to the region. The Dam Improvement Program will improve the capability of Seqwater’s network of dams to withstand extreme floods and earthquakes.

Cressbrook Dam

Toowoomba Regional Council’s Cressbrook Dam was upgraded to meet the requirements of the Guidelines of Acceptable Flood Capacity (AFC) for Dams (ANCOLD 2000) to improve the dam’s ability to withstand extreme events.

Mahon Bridge

This project was the replacement of the existing concrete bridge that was constructed in 2009 and damaged in the January 2013 flood event. Following the floods a number of deficiencies were identified with the bridge which necessitated a load restriction to be imposed and a reduction in capacity from two to one lane. A funding submission was required to secure funding for the new bridge.

DTMR Darling Downs Disaster Recovery

The DTMR Darling Downs district was affected by multiple flood disaster events across 2021 and 2022. The events triggered the requirement for various projects across the road network under DRFA, NDRRA, Emergent works and Betterment funding categories.

Queensland Health – Director of Project Delivery

CPM provided embedded senior project delivery leadership within Health Infrastructure Queensland’s capital delivery function. The engagement included two Director of Project Delivery positions within Integrated Project Delivery Team A, together with other project roles supporting the planning, procurement and delivery phases of Queensland Health’s capital program.

Pittsworth State High School – New Multipurpose Hall

Pittsworth State High School provides education for Years 7 to 12. The school identified a need for additional facilities to support its curriculum, leading to the proposed delivery of a new single-court multi-purpose hall through the Queensland Government’s School Halls Program. The project was planned within the operating school site at Factory Street, Pittsworth. Early project investigations considered the proposed building location, planning requirements, existing services and the integration of the new facility with the surrounding school environment.

Port of Brisbane Fuel Infrastructure Upgrades

Port of Brisbane completed fuel infrastructure upgrade works at its three Brisbane berths used for fuel imports. The upgrades to existing facilities improved future asset reliability and reduced operational risks.

OUR SECTORS

Experience across the infrastructure landscape

Every infrastructure sector operates within its own mix of operational, regulatory, commercial and stakeholder pressure.

We tailor our advice and delivery to support the realities of each environment, helping clients make better decisions and maintain confidence as projects move forward. 

Civil, Transport and Marine

Water and Wastewater

Built Environment

Experienced people, exceptional results

The outcomes we deliver are shaped by the people we place within each project. Our focus is on providing the right skills at the right time, ensuring each project is supported by people with the experience and capability it requires. 

Backing every individual is our actively involved senior leadership team and the collective capability of more than 70 professionals.  Just as importantly, CPM’s people are known for communicating clearly, sharing knowledge openly and building positive working relationships. This is a meaningful part of the value we bring to clients, and is also what makes CPM a great place to work.

Speech marks

CPM are flexible and work to suit what we need at different stages of a project. Their approach is to collaborate. It's not "we'll come in and tell you how to do it" (as it somestimes is with other firms), it's "we'll come in and work with you".
