ETS Architecture & Engineering Group emerged as an interdisciplinary firm offering structural engineering, civil engineering and architecture. ETS had strong relationships with the property and development market, both in Australia and Papua New Guinea.
FSA Consulting was established in 1995. Based in Toowoomba, FSA became Queensland’s preeminent agriculture firm, providing interdisciplinary engineering and scientific services for major producers across Australia
UDP Group was strategically formed in 2004 to deliver engineering, infrastructure, and project management services. UDP Group was the aggregation of Horman Traffic, Base iGi Consulting, and iGPM Consulting.
In 2009, O2Environment & Engineering entered the market as a specialist provider of soil and water management services to local and international audiences.
In the five years following O2E+E’s establishment, the company expanded to become O2 Group, encompassing O2Ecology, O2Environment, O2Marine, and Turbid Stormwater Solutions. This move diversified the services that O2 Group could offer through one cohesive organisation.
In 2013, ETS Architecture & Engineering recognised a disjoint in market perception, citing confusion in architecture and engineering services being housed under the one brand. A decision was made to separate
the two entities.
ETS Architecture continues to operate as a successful architecture and design firm focusing on the international market in Papua New Guinea. Meantime, ETS Engineering has gradually evolved into what is now Premise’s core engineering arm in South East Queensland.
Late 2014 saw ETS Engineering looking to expand their core capabilities, whilst retaining their established industry reputation. The merging of ETS Engineering and O2Group ultimately meant a complementary and interdisciplinary service offering could be brought to market.
Both groups were well established in the property and resource sectors, with the scale to accommodate both large and small projects, whilst maintaining personalised client relationships.
With both groups looking to further enhance their services, O2 Group soon acquired FSA Consulting, introducing specialist agriculture skills into the portfolio.
The next external company merge was between the O2Group and UDP Group. Ultimately, this included ETS Engineering, FSA Consulting, Turbid Stormwater Solutions, O2Environment & Engineering, O2Marine, and O2Ecology from the O2Group, and UDP Horman Traffic, Base iGi Consulting, and iGPM Consulting as part of UDP Group.
After the merger of O2 Group and UDP Group, the organisation encompassed a total of nine legacy brands. As the group could confidently demonstrate an extensive interdisciplinary portfolio, a decision was made to transition into one brand. That decision led us to re-brand as the unified consultancy you see today – Premise.
Geolyse was formed in Dubbo in 1989, offering engineering, town planning, surveying and architectural services. With additional offices in Orange and Oran Park (south west Sydney).
Southern Cross Consulting Surveyors was founded in 1920 in Goulburn, NSW. The company was known throughout the area for its services in the urban development sector. This move enabled Premise to build upon many years of experience and offer services across a greater geographical footprint in regional NSW.
Based in Albury and Wagga Wagga NSW, Eslers brought more than 70 years of consulting business including surveyors, engineers and development consultants to Premise further expanding our geographical footprint.
KCTT have been in operation since 2011 as a boutique civil and traffic engineering consultancy. In the 12 years of operation, they have grown to 20 staff in Perth, WA. The acquisition aligned with our strategy to strengthen Premise’s core technical offering and expand into the new markets and regions.
