Australian Enterprise Awards 2026 | 78 CBS Group (CBS) is a trusted provider of infrastructure consultancy services across Australia’s leading organizations. The company is proud to transform infrastructure performance across any and every sector, service area, and geography, making it one of the most sought-after partners in its region and beyond. We diver deeper as we bestow the consultancy with its noteworthy accolade in this year’s Australian Enterprise Awards. CBS’ team of founders bring over 65 years of combined infrastructure experience alongside unique approaches to systems engineering, strategic technology development, and asset management. The team understand, analyze, design, and deliver for each of their clients, so that they can get to the root problem and weed out the issue for good. CBS’ strategic advisory services cover a lot of ground. From business cases and economic analysis to procurement strategy and market engagement; commercial frameworks and contract design to risk management and governance; and ISO 44001 project governance to performance management systems, CBS always goes the extra mile. Delivering unrivalled and entirely comprehensive advisory services for the complete lifecycle of infrastructure, from strategic planning and business case development through procurement and delivery optimization to operational performance improvement, CBS is most certainly a beacon of light for clients across construction and infrastructure development, mining and resources, energy and utilities, transport systems, financial services, and technology integration. “Infrastructure shapes how Australians live, work, and connect. Every project we undertake contributes to the essential systems that underpin our economy and quality of life. This sense of purpose drives everything we do.” Furthermore, CBS’ client portfolio is brimming with diverse cases which demonstrate the consultancy’s ability to flex across services and sectors, for a multitude of clients across Australia but also around the world. “Our CAPITAL platform delivers whole-of-life asset optimization through advanced analytics and scenario modeling. COMPASS transforms contract management through secure multi-party collaboration embedded directly into Microsoft 365. Catalyst 7 provides comprehensive value assessment across seven dimensions of capital.” For example, the Western Harbour Tunnel’s strategic advisory case study was an outstanding success for CBS. The major challenges of this particular project was that traditional delivery methods ‘often create adversarial relationships, cost overruns, and operational uncertainty.’ However, with CBS’s CAPITAL framework, the solution was made seamless. With performance mechanisms such as lane rental fees ($50,000/hour) to incentivize closure avoidance; 30-year lifecycle contracts to justify long-term technology investment; innovation-sharing mechanisms to promote continuous improvement; and performance incentives tied to availability and efficiency, CBS ensured that Transport for NSW was satisfied with its $6.7B tunnel project’s outcome. The Project Director of Transport for NSW even shared: “The $50,000 per hour lane rental fee transformed how everyone thought about closures made perfect sense.” CBS’ innovative platforms make so much possible as they are not simply standalone solutions, they are part of a larger network of award-winning advisory methodology, and it’s clear to see why this consultancy firm has been bestowed with the title of Leading Systems Engineering Consultancy 2026.
