For new businesses starting up in the earthmoving sector, finding the funds to finance equipment purchases is one of the first obstacles.
NSW-based Bryant Civil was one such company, formed in 2020 to service regions in and around Shoalhaven on the state's south coast.
The versatile operation is involved in a whole gamut of tasks, including house and driveway cuts, pool excavation, rural driveways, subdivisions, car parks and various small building projects.
Director Chris Bryant boasts about 20 years' experience in the industry, starting off as a labourer with another civil construction company straight after leaving school.
After completing the necessary certificates and moving on up to run some civil projects, he attained enough skills, acumen, and more importantly, the desire, to start up his own business.
Like any fledgling enterprise, initial progress was slow and steady, but as word of mouth of its proficiency spread, so too did the number of contracts, with notable projects so far including the Warden Head Lighthouse Upgrade, the Berry to Bomaderry Bypass, and some smaller tasks within the HMAS Albatross naval station.
"We currently have a fleet of two trucks, five excavators and one Posi-Track," Chris said.
