Trusted for total project delivery
Experts in complex builds
Equip your property and operations with future-ready agricultural infrastructure. At the forefront of custom commercial and industrial projects in the agricultural industry, our experienced team can tackle any challenge with designs that support regulatory compliance and productivity.
Decades of rural delivery
As a third-generation regional business with extensive remote construction experience, we understand the realities of building on working farms and ag-industrial sites. Our local knowledge of climate, access, logistics and labour requirements informs every decision.
Start-to-finish solutions
Collaborate with a single, accountable delivery partner from planning to handover. We handle civil works, concrete, and structural steel for the agricultural sector in-house. One touchpoint means clearer communication, tighter quality control, and smoother delivery that saves money.
Minimal downtime
Upgrade and expand with less impact on revenue. Our teams work around live agricultural operations, harvest windows, livestock movements, and seasonal constraints. Construction sequencing is planned to reduce disruption and maintain site access.
Unrivalled resources
We use our own fleet of modern earthmoving, compaction, concreting, and lifting machinery for greater control over quality, safety, and scheduling. Meanwhile, our construction management systems provide clear visibility over progress, costs, and timelines so you can be confident in your agriculture infrastructure investment.
Dairy sheds
Create a comfortable space for cattle that complies with industry regulations. Built for heavy-duty use, our high-capacity steel dairy sheds are designed for your specific herd size, land, and operational flow.
From steel frame fabrication and specialised concrete works to effluent management and drainage systems, we deliver turnkey solutions for large-scale dairy farms across Australia.
Grain sheds
Unprotected grains are vulnerable to weather damage, pests and moisture build-up, putting valuable harvests and future returns at risk.
These highly functional agricultural sheds can be designed for high-volume grain storage and efficient loading and unloading. When not in use for harvest storage, the same structure can be used for hay, machinery, fertiliser or other farm materials.
Commercial poultry sheds
Stripes delivers structural steel, concrete and building construction for commercial poultry sheds, with layouts coordinated around the operator’s production requirements and specialist equipment.
The building layout can accommodate ventilation, insulation, feeding and drinking systems, lighting and climate controls, helping to streamline farm operations and support appropriate conditions for the flock.
Farm irrigation systems
Reliable water management is crucial to productive, profitable and sustainable farming. We deliver irrigation channels, pipelines, pump foundations, and associated civil works that meet the demands of large-scale agricultural operations.
Every farm irrigation system is planned around flow rates, water availability, site conditions, land use and future operating requirements. Our civil and pipeline works support the farm’s irrigation infrastructure, with scope coordinated around the approved design and specialist equipment requirements.
Commercial and industrial infrastructure projects
FAQs
Agricultural infrastructure construction covers the development of buildings, civil works and supporting assets that are required for farms and agribusiness facilities to operate efficiently.
These strategic construction projects are typically planned around the movement of people, livestock, machinery and agricultural commodities, helping improve safety, productivity, maintenance and long-term operational capacity.
We build a wide range of commercial and industrial infrastructure for agricultural businesses at any scale. This includes workshops, machinery sheds, processing and packing facilities, storage and logistics buildings, and heavy-duty warehouses.
We can also deliver the essential supporting works, such as hardstands, access roads, loading areas, and drainage systems, that keep these sites operating safely and productively.
Grain sheds can provide cost-effective bulk storage and flexibility for other farm uses. The relative cost compared with silos depends on capacity, specification and operating requirements.
Yes. We can design a custom farm shed to support several agricultural functions rather than being limited to one use. Depending on the operation, this might include machinery storage, workshops, bulk storage, loading areas or general farm supplies within the same facility.
The key is to plan the shed around equipment dimensions, vehicle access, clearances, floor loads, workflow and future requirements from the start.
A purpose-built layout can make better use of available space while giving the operation greater flexibility as needs change.
Adequate infrastructure starts with the way the property operates, not just the building itself.
In most cases, key considerations include:
- Site conditions, soil and finished levels
- Access for trucks, machinery and livestock
- Drainage, erosion control and water management
- Building size, layout and structural requirements
- Production and seasonal schedules
- Existing utilities and services
- Biosecurity and site safety
- Climate and weather exposure
- Storage and processing requirements
- Future expansion
Understanding the importance of factors such as site layout, access, water management and future capacity early can prevent costly constraints once construction begins.
Yes. We often stage construction so that facility and farming operations are able to continue running while works are underway. Agricultural infrastructure can be planned around production cycles, livestock movements, freight schedules, and harvest windows.
We’ll assess how the site functions before sequencing construction, allowing critical areas and access routes to remain available where possible.
This may include:
- Building new agricultural infrastructure alongside existing operations before switching over
- Maintaining temporary access roads, hardstands, and services
- Isolating work zones with clear safety controls
- Scheduling higher-impact works outside peak operational periods
This controlled, step-by-step build prevents unnecessary disruption, reduces risk, and helps your farm or facility to stay productive throughout construction.
Approval requirements vary by project type, location and scope. For example, you may need planning or building approval, along with permits for water use, vegetation clearing, livestock facilities, waste or wastewater management.
Requirements differ between states, territories and councils, so confirm the approval pathway early. This helps identify the necessary documentation, assessments and certifications before construction begins.
Need assistance with this stage? At Stripes, we can assist with planning and approvals through our Design and Construction services.
Yes. Agricultural infrastructure can be planned for future expansion, provided growth is considered during the initial design and site preparation.
At Stripes, we can design finished levels, building pads, access routes, drainage and service corridors with later stages in mind.
Allowing space for future sheds, processing areas or supporting infrastructure reduces rework and makes it easier to expand capacity without unnecessarily disrupting existing operations.
Yes. Our dedicated team has extensive experience delivering agricultural infrastructure in rural and remote regions across the country.
Equipped with our own plant and equipment, skilled local crews, and long-term regional partnerships, we’re ready to mobilise where others can’t.
Costs vary depending on scope, site conditions, materials, and complexity. At Stripes, we’ll take the time to understand your needs, identify efficiencies, and flag risks to price your project accurately before construction starts.
With a focus on transparent pricing and realistic timelines, you can be confident in your costs from the outset. Get in touch to discuss your project and request a quote.
We can manage multiple scopes under a single contract, serving as one reliable delivery partner for your entire agribusiness construction project.
This typically includes civil works, earthworks, concrete, structural steel, and coordination of specialist trades and consultants as required.
