History

Doval was incorporated in 1977 as a civil engineering company. From humble beginnings, Doval soon out grew its initial base in Nudgee Rd, Northgate and relocated to the Western Suburbs of Brisbane, where it now occupies offices in Sumner Park.

With the retirement of the original owner Stephen Biggs in 2001, the company was purchased by several of the company’s current directors. To this day shareholding of the company remains with its directors.

In recent years, due in large part to the successful completion of numerous contracts, Doval has progressively grown in both size and stature. With 15 qualified engineers in its employ and an ever increasing Client base Doval is well positioned to meet and exceed customer expectations.
