ABOUT MAW CIVIL
Building a Strong Foundation
Maw Civil: A Legacy of Excellence
Maw Civil Pty Ltd was established under its current ownership by Managing Director, John Plumridge in February 2000 when the company absorbed all the activities, employees, and physical resources of T W Maw & Sons Pty Ltd (previously owned by TW Maw and Hillview Quarries) and combined those with the Director’s existing company Japco Pty Ltd.
The business, hence, has a lengthy history spanning over 50 years in construction activities on the Mornington Peninsula with broad experience in subdivisions (residential and commercial), golf course construction, marina construction, road construction, environmental projects, local government and general bulk earthworks and infrastructure maintenance.
