As Queensland gears up for a decade of infrastructure delivery unlike any in its history, the challenge facing the sector isn’t simply the size of the pipeline — it’s how to deliver it. For Mateusz Jedruszek, Managing Director at Perfect Contracting, the key will be early collaboration, shared expertise, and smarter front-end solutions.
“Whether it’s roads, rail, energy or resources, success will depend on collective smarts,” Jedruszek says. “The Olympics and other major infrastructure projects can only be delivered on time and within budget if every part of the supply chain works together.”
Perfect Contracting’s sponsorship of the Queensland Major Projects Pipeline Report (QMPPR) is one way the company is signalling its commitment to the state’s future. Having delivered enabling and demolition works on major Australian projects, such as Sydney Metro West, and working with contractors like Acciona, John Holland Group, and Seymour Whyte, the company understands the critical importance of early-stage planning in achieving cost, safety, and delivery outcomes.
“Project delivery teams don’t always realise how much value an early works contractor can add,” Jedruszek explains. “With the right information and expertise, complex demolition or sequencing challenges become opportunities — not risks. That’s exactly why the QMPPR is so valuable: it gives the entire sector the data needed to focus effort where it matters most.”
A Roadmap for Smarter Decisions
Jedruszek describes the QMPPR as “a roadmap” for Queensland’s infrastructure sector — a single source of truth that provides clarity for government, contractors and suppliers alike. “It’s a bit like early contractor involvement on a macro scale,” he says. “When everyone can see what’s coming, they can plan resources, scale equipment, and make better commercial decisions. That’s what will build a stronger, more resilient industry after years of inflationary and regulatory pressure.”
For Perfect Contracting, the report has provided practical insights that shaped the timing of its market entry into Queensland and helped identify which contractors are likely to face the kinds of challenges the company specialises in solving.
“As a business expanding in Queensland, the QMPPR has validated that decision,” Jedruszek says. “It points clearly to opportunities both in the southeast and in regional areas and it’s confirmed that moving early, 18 months ago, was the right call given the constraints the industry now faces in skills, resources and capacity.”
Time and Collaboration
According to Jedruszek, the biggest single challenge for Queensland’s infrastructure delivery is time. “The timeframe to deliver the funded program across public and private sectors demands true collaboration,” he says. “That’s the report’s subtext; that everyone needs to bring their best ideas and solutions to the table.”
Perfect Contracting’s approach is built on exactly that philosophy. By engaging early with project owners and head contractors, the company helps identify and mitigate complex demolition, design and sequencing risks long before they impact program or cost. “When we’re involved from the start, we can solve the tricky problems that slow progress and inflate budgets,” Jedruszek notes.
Building Queensland’s Economic Future
With transformational projects such as Cross River Rail, Brisbane Metro, energy-transition infrastructure, and major defence and water-security upgrades in the pipeline, Jedruszek believes Queensland is “on the crest of a new wave of growth and development.”
“Energy and grid upgrades, transport, water, and defence — these sectors will keep everyone busy for years,” he says. “It’s an enviable pipeline that benefits both industry and the communities we serve.”
Commitment for the Long Haul
Looking ahead, Jedruszek sees collaboration as the defining factor in Queensland’s ability to deliver its ambitious pipeline successfully. “Forums like QMCA and its working groups play a vital role in bringing people together and breaking down silos,” he says. “When communication is clear and early engagement happens, projects get finished without the issues that come from working in isolation.”
For Perfect Contracting, that collaborative mindset is more than a philosophy, it’s a strategy. “Our sponsorship of the QMPPR is about showing we’re here for the long haul,” Jedruszek concludes. “We’re ready to help deliver this once-in-a-generation opportunity for Queensland. It’s a challenge and that’s where we thrive.”
