# Major-project company stack

Use this before creating multiple entities. The goal is one strong operating system with clear delivery lanes, not a collection of empty companies.

## 1. Target project

- Project:
- Official source:
- Current stage:
- Likely buyer:
- Funding parties:
- Expected procurement route:
- Earliest useful readiness date:

## 2. Core operating company

- Proposed legal name:
- Owners and control:
- Directors:
- Services it will genuinely deliver:
- Staff and equipment:
- Insurance:
- Licences and prequalification:
- Financial-capacity target:
- Existing evidence:
- Twelve-month evidence gaps:

## 3. Delivery lanes

| Lane | Deliverable | Lead person or partner | Required licence or scheme | Evidence to build | Lead, subcontract or R&D |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Project integration |  |  |  |  |  |
| Civil or marine work |  |  |  |  |  |
| Digital twin and data |  |  |  |  |  |
| Fabrication and robotics |  |  |  |  |  |
| Materials and circular use |  |  |  |  |  |
| Community benefit and training |  |  |  |  |  |

## 4. New-entity test

Create a separate company, project vehicle or joint venture only when at least one of these is true:

- Ownership or control must differ.
- A regulated activity needs its own licence or governance.
- A prime or investor requires a ring-fenced project vehicle.
- Project finance, assets or guarantees need separation.
- The parties are sharing major risk, capital, profit and control.
- A tax, legal, insurance or financial adviser confirms a clear reason.

If none applies, keep the lane inside the operating company or use a written subcontract.

## 5. Prime-partner targets

| Organisation | Qualification | Package fit | What we bring | Named contact | Next meeting | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

## 6. Readiness gates

- Supplier registrations and portal profiles:
- Queensland Supplier Code evidence:
- Procurement Assurance Model evidence:
- PQC, QBuild, TMR or National Prequalification path:
- Commonwealth connected-policy trigger check:
- Indigenous participation and authority:
- Environmental and cultural heritage controls:
- WHS, quality, privacy, cyber and records systems:
- Project cashflow and financial-capacity plan:
