One of Australia’s biggest construction companies stops work and plunges into administration

  • The construction company St Hilliers stopped work
  • Subcontractors have shared text messages

One of Australia’s largest construction companies has halted work and appointed administrators.

St Hilliers, a 33-year-old residential, commercial and infrastructure construction company, has told subcontractors not to come to work, with text messages shared on the Subbies United website.

A subcontractor posted a message on a website about receiving a text message.

“All sites are closed until further notice,” it said.

A Brisbane subcontractor revealed work had stopped at the Bernborough Ascot site, where a retirement village is under construction.

‘Good evening representatives of subcontractors. Please note that there will be no work taking place at the Bernborough Ascot St Hilliers construction site tomorrow,” the statement said.
