Our Story
Founded in 2020 by owner and operator Kayden, DPE Civil is built on a strong foundation of family tradition and industry passion. Born and bred in Townsville, Kayden grew up surrounded by the building and construction industry — it’s in his blood. With strong family ties to the trade, he developed a hands-on understanding of the work from an early age.
Starting his career as a plumber, Kayden successfully built and ran a plumbing business before expanding into large-scale earthworks and civil construction. With over a decade of industry experience behind him, he brings a wealth of knowledge, a practical mindset, and a genuine commitment to delivering quality outcomes for every project.
Since its launch, DPE Civil has earned a reputation for being reliable, skilled, and easy to work with. Our services cover a wide range of civil and construction needs including excavation, sub-divisions, trench digging, tight access work, augering, retaining walls, concrete works, plant hire, and pipelaying. We also provide full-service civil infrastructure solutions — including running conduits for underground electricity and NBN hook-ups, as well as water mains, sewer, and stormwater management. In addition, we remain available to support all your plumbing needs with the same level of expertise and commitment. As an Energy Queensland prequalified subcontractor, we meet the strict standards required to support critical infrastructure works across the region — ensuring all services are delivered safely, professionally, and to industry standards.
Every project is delivered with a focus on safety, efficiency, and compliance with local regulations, while minimising environmental impact. We’re proud to be a locally grown business supporting the development of our community.
