Our Story
About Us
A long history…
Contracting Site Solutions evolved out of the iconic Fricker Brothers building business, which was responsible for the construction of many significant buildings around Adelaide, including the MLC building on Victoria Square (now Beacon House). While Fricker Brothers building business was established earlier, in 1921 they were foundation members of Master Builders SA, and this membership is still maintained by CSS today.

About Us
Breaking new ground
Fricker Brothers set an imposing record of achievements in building construction with the new Cox Bros store in Rundle Street. The new building demonstrated the modern methods coming to building construction.
“Steel and concrete structures have come into their own, and new materials and the revolutionary system of construction based on their properties, make it possible for contractors to plan buildings with freedom and economy. Concrete, steel, glass, rubber, cork, and modern metallic alloys are all used now with good effect to bring more beauty to buildings.” Source.
