Swarly Road Construction

About us

Proud to be Trusted Leaders in Asphalt and Road Construction Throughout Queensland

Swarly Road Construction is a leading asphalt and road construction contractor delivering safe, high-quality infrastructure across South-East Queensland. We partner with government agencies, local councils, developers and commercial clients to deliver works that meet the highest industry standards.

Founded in 2009 by Matthew Swarbrooke as Swarly Tippers, the business entered the market with strong technical foundations, a modern fleet and a clear commitment to quality and safety. In 2018, the company rebranded as Swarly Road Construction to reflect its expanded capabilities and growing presence in Queensland’s road construction industry. Today, we are a multi-disciplinary contractor with expertise in asphalt paving, profiling and road rehabilitation. Fully certified to ISO standards and A2 accredited by Main Roads Queensland, we have the systems, resources and technical capability to deliver works of varying scope and complexity.

Swarly’s success is driven by the leadership of Matthew and Ashlee Swarbrooke – a partnership built on deep industry expertise and strategic vision.

Matt is the driving force behind Swarly’s operations, respected across the industry for his technical expertise, deep understanding of complex road construction environments and ability to lead high-performing crews on major infrastructure projects. His strong industry relationships, practical problem-solving and uncompromising approach to workmanship have been instrumental in building Swarly’s reputation.

Ashlee steers the company’s strategic growth, strengthening systems, streamlining operations and fostering innovation. Her commercial insight and forward-thinking approach keep Swarly competitive, efficient and positioned for sustained success in a demanding market.

Our team is the heart of Swarly. Their skill, pride and dedication are what make our work possible. We invest in their safety, training and development — and we recognise the value each person brings to every project. Every achievement is a collective effort, built on the expertise, care and hard work our people deliver everyday.

At Swarly, our commitment is uncompromising — to deliver infrastructure that lasts, supports communities and sets the benchmark for quality in road construction across South-East Queensland.

2009

Swarly Tippers launched a 24/7 cartage service, delivering asphalt to various client’s day and night. Over time, our fleet expanded to accommodate the growing demand. Our modern fleet, maintained to the highest standards and manned by experienced professionals, ensures seamless operations.

2018

Swarly achieved a significant milestone with the launch of its first asphalt crew, initially specializing in Asphalt Driveways. Following substantial investments in new equipment to kickstart operations, the selection and training of new team members marked the beginning of a journey dedicated to excellence in asphalt services. As our expertise and reputation grew, so did our services, eventually extending to providing crew hire for larger companies.

Today

Today, Swarly Road Construction is a prominent figure in the asphalt industry, with multiple asphalt crews and a diverse fleet of equipment. Our operations extend across South-East Queensland with crews dispatched interstate to fulfill the varied paving needs of our clients. Apart from offering extensive crew hire services to large companies, we have diversified to handle private projects, addressing a broad spectrum of residential and commercial paving demands.
