About Solve Civil

Solve Civil is a family-owned civil construction company founded in 2016 by the Stead family, operating from offices in Lithgow and Sydney Olympic Park. In 2026, we expanded our capabilities through the acquisition of New Era Total, adding specialist land management services to our offering. Today, clients across Greater Sydney and regional NSW can access both civil construction and land management under a single head contractor arrangement. One team, one point of contact, end-to-end accountability.
