Specialist Building Services in Townsville

CBS Building Group has operated continuously from Townsville since 1964 — making us one of the city's longest-running specialist building contractors. Our headquarters at Garbutt houses our project management, supply division and core trade workforce, with crews on Townsville sites every day of the working week.

Six Decades of Townsville Projects

Bill and Peggy Church started CBS from a Townsville home in 1964, originally specialising in waterproofing, built-up roofing and protective coatings. The business relocated to its current Bohle / Garbutt premises following Peggy's passing in 1978 and has been headquartered there ever since.

Townsville is unique in the Queensland market — a defence hub, a port city, a mining services gateway, and home to one of regional Australia's largest universities and tertiary hospitals. Each of those sectors brings its own quality and compliance requirements, and our work across all of them feeds back into our supervised QA processes.

We hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, are members of Master Builders Queensland, and operate with full QBCC licensing — so we can step onto defence, healthcare, education or council sites with the documentation and accreditation already in place.
