General Building & Civil Engineering

General building and civil engineering works for commercial, institutional and industrial clients — site preparation, structures, buildings and external works.

Overview

What this service covers.

From a single classroom block to a complete commercial site, MITA delivers building and civil works with the same discipline we bring to heavy infrastructure. Our teams handle the foundations, frames, envelopes and external works that turn a design into a usable facility.

We self-perform core civil disciplines — earthworks, concrete, masonry and external works — and coordinate trusted specialist subcontractors for finishes and building services, giving the client one accountable contractor.

Our clients include schools, health facilities, offices, warehouses, factories and residential developments, for both public and private owners.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you act as main contractor?

Yes. We take on main contractor roles, managing our own crews and specialist subcontractors under one contract.

Can you work in buildings that remain occupied?

Yes. We plan phasing, access routes, noise and dust control so schools, hospitals and offices can keep operating during works.

Do you offer a defects liability period?

Every project is handed over with a defects liability period agreed in the contract, during which we return to rectify any defects.
