Paynter Dixon history The Boys Brigade Pyrmont Branch

More than a century of building with certainty

Since 1914, Paynter Dixon has partnered with clients to design and deliver buildings that shape communities, industries and institutions across Australia.

Over more than a century, the company has evolved alongside the built environment, expanding its capabilities while remaining grounded in the principles that have defined it from the beginning: integrity, collaboration and dependable delivery. We do so with respect for the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and build, and acknowledge their enduring connection to Country.

Today, Paynter Dixon brings together design intelligence, construction expertise and deep sector knowledge to deliver projects across education, hospitality, health, remedial and community sectors.

Our integrated approach aligns planning, design and construction under a single accountable partner, reducing complexity and providing clients with greater certainty from concept through completion.

It is this combination of experience, capability and trusted relationships that has enabled Paynter Dixon to deliver complex projects for more than 112 years and continues to guide the way we work today.
