How Hutchies Manages Social Procurement Across a Century-Old Supply Chain

Hutchinson Builders - known universally as Hutchies - is one of Australia's most iconic construction companies. Family owned and Queensland headquartered, the company has been building across Australia for over a century, earning a reputation for reliability, quality, and genuine community connection that few builders can match.

Hutchies operates across commercial construction, residential, health, aged care, education, and community projects - delivering for private developers, government clients, and community organisations alike. Their Queensland roots run deep, but their footprint extends across every state.

What makes Hutchies distinctive is the combination of scale and culture. As a privately owned company, they make decisions for the long term - investing in their people, their subcontractor relationships, and the communities where they build. That ethos aligns naturally with the principles of social procurement.

Across their project portfolio, Hutchies leverages Catchment to track workforce compliance, social spend, and supply chain reporting - ensuring their projects deliver community benefit that matches the trust Queensland has placed in them for generations.
