About Rick Davis Contracting
Three Generations of Expertise, Integrity & Innovation
Rick Davis Contracting is a proudly Australian, family-owned business that has been serving Sydney’s excavation and demolition needs for over 47 years. Founded by Rick Davis in 1978, what began with a handshake and hand-drawn plans has grown into a third-generation company recognised for delivering some of Sydney’s most complex residential and civil projects.
From humble beginnings, with just a few machines and a small team, Rick Davis built a company grounded in honesty, hard work and a relentless pursuit of quality. Today, that legacy continues through his wife Anita and sons Geoff and Tyson, each bringing their unique strengths to the business, combining generational knowledge with forward-thinking innovation.
Geoff has been a cornerstone of this legacy for 20 years. Having started alongside Rick and worked closely with him for a decade while completing his construction management studies at UTS, Geoff became deeply involved in the business, learning the ropes and contributing to its growth. Over the last 10 years, as Rick has gradually stepped into the background, Geoff has excelled in his role as Managing Director, continuing Rick’s legacy and further elevating the company’s success.
Meanwhile, Operations Manager Tyson Davis has spearheaded the adoption of cutting-edge technologies that enhance project efficiency and precision. This innovation ensures the company continues to evolve with the industry, all while staying true to the family values that have defined Rick Davis Contracting since day one.
Whether it’s intricate rock excavation, large-scale demolition or precision earthworks, Rick Davis Contracting is committed to delivering exceptional results, safely, sustainably, and with the personal touch only a family business can provide.
