Our experience.
Our extensive experience in regional Queensland and the Pacific region providing civil engineering and construction solutions commenced many years ago. Managing Director Richard McDonald is the fourth generation of McDonald’s to be involved in civil construction. The McDonald family heritage advocates a very strong work ethic combined with professional business values and best practice processes.
RMS’s history began in Victoria during the 1930’s when the original company founder and forefather John Joseph McDonald, worked with World War One soldiers to build sections of the now famous Great Ocean Road. The team went onto work with landholders and local councils to construct farm dams, town water storages and to plan and design new council and state roads, to open up new opportunities and provide further expansion for the growing economy.
The company was originally incorporated as JMS. It was during this period Richard McDonald gained many years of experience in civil construction and contract negotiation, with particular attention to bulk earthworks, rural developments, mining infrastructure and environmental rehabilitation, tailings dam expansion, road and bridge construction which included pipes, culverts and concrete structures.
The East Timor operations were established by JMS in 1999. The East Timor business is a preferred supplier to the Australian Defence Force, Australian, New Zealand and United States Embassies and other foreign donors in providing a diverse range of construction and building projects.
In November 2007 JMS became RMS Engineering and Construction.
Since incorporation as RMS in 2007, extensive experience in the following areas has been acquired:
