Specialist Building Services in Cairns & Far North Queensland

CBS Building Group's Cairns operation is not a satellite — it is a permanently staffed office, warehouse and trade workforce based at Bungalow since 1996. From here we deliver epoxy flooring, concrete repairs, waterproofing and pavement services right across Far North Queensland.

A Local Operation, Run by Locals

Keith Church established CBS's Cairns operation in the early 1990s, and our permanent Bungalow facility was opened in 1996 to support the growing volume of work across the Far North. Today the Cairns office is led by Jason Frear and operates with its own crews, supervisors, vehicles and material stockholdings.

The wet tropics demand a different specification to most Australian markets. High humidity, monsoonal rainfall and cyclone exposure all change how waterproofing membranes, epoxy systems and protective coatings need to be designed and applied. Decades of FNQ-specific experience inform the products and methodology we use here.

Our Cairns crews regularly work into Mossman, Port Douglas, the Atherton Tablelands, Mareeba and the Cape — including servicing remote and Indigenous council infrastructure where proven supplier reliability matters.

Sectors We Service in Cairns & FNQ

The Cairns economy is shaped by tourism, agriculture, marine industries and a heavy public-sector footprint — and our project mix reflects that.

Tourism & hospitality — hotel, resort and waterfront precinct flooring, waterproofing and pavement coatings
Healthcare — hospital and clinic flooring, infection-control surfaces and tank/wet-area waterproofing across FNQ
Aviation & defence — apron and pavement works, naval and aviation facility maintenance
Local government — civic infrastructure, line marking and pavement coatings for Far North councils and remote communities
Education — university and school flooring, pavement and protective coatings across the Far North
Agriculture & marine — sugar mills, banana sheds, prawn farms and marine workshops

Services Available in Cairns

Each of these services is delivered by our local Cairns crews — backed by CBS's wider Townsville workforce on larger projects.
