The MKH Story
It all started over a decade ago, right here in Tasmania, with a vision to create a contracting business that felt like family. MKH Contracting was born from a passion for hard work, honesty, and a commitment to doing things the right way—values that have guided us every step of the way.
​
As a family-owned and operated business, we’ve grown from humble beginnings into Tasmania’s trusted name for excavation, haulage, water cartage, and tip truck services. But no matter how much we’ve expanded, that personal touch has remained at the heart of everything we do.
Our story is one of dedication—dedication to our clients, our craft, and our team.
With a crew of skilled professionals and cutting-edge equipment, we’re equipped to handle projects of all shapes and sizes, from large-scale commercial developments to your backyard dream. And because we operate statewide, seven days a week, we’re always ready when you need us.
​
But MKH is more than just a service provider; we’re a partner in your projects. We believe in building relationships grounded in trust, transparency, and delivering outstanding results that exceed expectations. Every job we take on is approached with the same level of passion and pride, ensuring your vision becomes a reality.
​
So, whether it’s a small residential project or a massive commercial undertaking, MKH Contracting is here to bring your ideas to life—with precision, professionalism, and a little bit of that famous Tasmanian spirit.

our Community impact
We’re more than just contractors – we’re committed community members.
Through sponsorships, partnerships, and hands-on initiatives, MKH Contracting proudly supports local talent, organizations, and future industry professionals across Tasmania.
The Civil Contractors Federation (CCF) Tasmania serves as the leading voice for the civil construction industry in Tasmania.
Representing businesses and advocating for industry growth, CCF Tasmania plays a vital role in supporting the prosperity and productivity of Tasmania’s economy. Civil construction is a cornerstone of the state’s infrastructure, impacting everything from transport to water management, and CCF Tasmania provides essential resources, training, and advocacy to ensure this sector continues to thrive.
Sponsorship
From racecars to BMX racing we’re proud to sponsor local sports teams and support community talent, helping them reach their full potential both on and off the field. Our partnerships reflect our commitment to building strong, active communities.
Supporting local athletes and organizations isn’t just about sponsorship; it’s our way of cheering on Tassie talent and making a difference where it counts.
Charity engagment
MKH Contracting actively participates in local charities across Tasmania, proudly giving back to the community.
A standout event each year is the “Convoy for Kids,” a Christmas convoy of trucks raising funds for children at the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH). By participating in this and other local charity efforts, we’re committed to supporting families, children, and essential community services across the region.
