HISTORY
Doval was incorporated in 1977 as a civil engineering company. From humble beginnings, Doval soon out grew its initial base in Nudgee Rd, Northgate and relocated to the Western Suburbs of Brisbane, where it now occupies offices in Sumner Park.
With the retirement of the original owner Stephen Biggs in 2001, the company was purchased by several of the company’s current directors. To this day shareholding of the company remains with its directors.
In recent years, due in large part to the successful completion of numerous contracts, Doval has progressively grown in both size and stature. With 30 qualified engineers in its employ and an ever increasing Client base Doval is well positioned to meet and exceed customer expectations.
MISSION
Doval’s Mission is to grow and develop the business in a sustainable manner and to achieve this by:
- Exceeding customer expectations
- Valuing and developing our employees and prioritising safety
- Implementing industry best practice
- Managing workplace culture to continually improve our performance
CAPABILITY
Doval specialises and has extensive experience in medium sized projects of a reasonably complex nature. Doval has a proven track record in the successful completion of a wide range of infrastructure Contracts for Local, State and Commonwealth Government bodies and for major corporate customers.
Doval enjoys a competitive edge in the construction of technically difficult, non-repetitive or risky contracts that require an extra element of supervision and in house expertise.
COMMITMENTS
Doval is customer focussed and commits a fully qualified Civil Engineer to each of its sites further enhancing Health & Safety, Environmental Awareness and Quality on site; and ensuring the timely completion of works.
Doval is committed to remaining a leader in the industry and has a professional and experienced team to ensure this. Management plays a proactive role in supervising all on site operations and this hands on approach is one of the Company’s key strengths.
ORGANISATION STRUCTURE
Doval retains a core group of engineers, supervisors, skilled labourers and office staff to efficiently carry out their operations. As the demands of a particular project may require, further suitably qualified and experienced staff are recruited.
