About Us
PAD Civil was established by Ricky Thomson. Since our inception, we've experienced significant growth, driven by Ricky's dream of expanding the company's reach. Initially, the company focused solely on commercial plumbing and drainage with a vision to become a specialised civil services contractor.
Today, PAD Civil stands as a strong emerging presence in the field of civil construction. With a diverse portfolio spanning across both public and private sectors. Our plumbing capacity provides a unique advantage within the market, as it allows us to offer an all-inclusive package for underground service delivery.
At PAD Civil, our commitment to excellence is unwavering, as we strive to continue being an agile and collaborative company, providing a positive contribution to the ongoing development of Victoria.
