"As a respected leader in the electrical contracting industry, Richard Flanagan and Company is committed to achieving continued growth for our key stakeholders."

This is achieved through the implementation and delivery of industry best practice safety measures, a dedication to service excellence and highest level surety of outcome."

Founded in August, 1987 by Richard Flanagan, the company’s mission was to become the most highly respected and quality driven company in Queensland.  Now, after 20 years of participation and service to the building, construction and engineering fraternity of Queensland, there is no doubt that Richard Flanagan’s vision has been achieved.  The first project carried out by Richard Flanagan and Company (RFC) was the Bond University Building FO1.  From there, RFC quickly grew to complete such notable projects as:-

• Bayview Harbour Complex
• Hamilton Island Hotel - Resort Buildings, Convention Centre and Airport Terminal
• Daydream Island Resort
• Movieworld - Gold Coast
• Movieworld - Botropp, Germany
• Noosa Wastewater Treatment Plant
• Brisbane Hotel and Casino
• Pacific Fair Shopping Centre
• Jupiter’s Casino Expansion
• Prince Charles Hospital- Acute Care
• Holy Spirit - Northside
• Indooroopilly Shopping Centre
• Garden City Shopping Centre
• Chermside Shopping Centre Expansion

Due to RFC’s reputation for providing quality outcomes, training of apprentices, upskilling of staff and showing a serious commitment to safety and community benefit the company was chosen to enter into partnering arrangements for the correctional centre and public works expansion within Queensland.

Notable projects carried out under partnering arrangements include:

• Woodford Correctional Centre Stage 1
• SEQ1 – Wacol
• SEQW – Wacol
• Lotus Glen Correctional Centre Expansion
• Woodford Correctional Centre Stage 2
• Barwon Correctional Centre Expansion – Victoria
• Maryborough Correctional Centre
• Brisbane Magistrates Court
• Townsville Women’s Correctional Centre (Current)
• Stuart Correctional Centre Expansion  - Townsville  (Current)

The successful outcome of partnering projects has paved the way for RFC to enter into alliance contracts to deliver essential infrastructure for Southeast Queensland. 

Projects in this category include:

• Merrimac WWTP
• Oxley Creek WWTP
• Sandgate WWTP
• Oxley Creek Thermal Hydrolysis Plant
• Cleveland WWTP
• Wynnum WWTP
• Wynnum MFRO Plant (Current)
• Murrumba Downs WWTP (Current)
• Murrumba Downs MFRO (Current)

Whilst the foregoing list of projects is not exhaustive it gives an insight into the ability of this well respected company.  Many of the projects listed were completed on a design and construct basis, further illustrating the diversity of the staff who make up RFC.

Training has always been one of Richard Flanagan’s passions.  He believes in what some may now see as an old fashioned view ‘that one should leave the industry in better shape than one found it’.

Living up to that philosophy, RFC has trained over 160 apprentices who were directly employed by the company.  In addition to that, many traineeships were offered to clerical staff and as many as 5 existing adult employees from diverse backgrounds completed their electrical apprenticeships with the company. 

On 1^st September 2006, RFC joined Pacific Services Group Pty Ltd (PSG) in order to benefit from the strength of a national group, which will better allow the company to take advantage of the rapidly expanding Queensland market.
