about us

history

Baseline Civil Group started operating in 2017, originally under the name MK Plumbing & Civil with directors Hamish and Tim as the sole employees. The pair had worked together for just under 10 years to this point, initially as plumbers working in maintenance, residential and commericial projects. They both transitioned to working in civil construction for another business, specialising in civil pavement construction, sports construction and acrylic surfacing.

With a solid foundation of experience under their belts, paired with a desire to test themselves, Tim and Hamish decided to go out on their own, starting in domestic plumbing and small scale sports construction.

Over the years, the business has grown significantly into a mutli-faceted civil construction company with a growing, tight knit team of employees and trusted subcontractors capable of taking on projects of any size and complexity, working with our clients to deliver optimal results.
