Company History

T & J Constructions Pty Ltd is a proud South Australian company which is owned and operated by John McMichael and family since 2007.

The company has grown significantly since then, growing from a staff of 7 to now employing 90 local South Australians supported by a new state of the art office and yard complex completed in 2020. Since 2008 T & J Constructions plant inventory has grown from 10 machines and trucks to over 100 pieces of modern plant and vehicles servicing a wide range of projects.

Since 2008, T & J Constructions has been involved in some of South Australia’s iconic projects such as Market to Riverbank, Bowden Redevelopment, Tonsley Village, St Kilda Adventure Playground and Royal Adelaide Showgrounds SE Development. These projects demonstrate the diversity of skill and expertise that has developed over the last decade and beyond.

T & J Constructions is proudly South Australian and our motto is Built for South Australians for South Australians and this encapsulates the passion we have for growing the South Australian Civil Industry. John McMichael has served on the Board of the Civil Contractors Federation (CCF) SA since 2017 and has been a member of the UDIA Infrastructure Committee for numerous years advocating for South Australian participation in major infrastructure projects.
