Historical

Cyril Hornick, ‘CP’, commenced business in Queensland in 1937 as a Contractor and Designer Builder of homes. Throughout the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s, the business developed into the largest privately owned construction company in Queensland, before changing name in 1965 to CP Hornick & Son Pty Ltd. Over the years the company has constructed some notable Brisbane landmarks, including the Main Roads Building in Boundary Street.

In 1971 Hornick Constructions Pty Ltd was formed and is today the main trading arm of the Hornick group of companies. The group includes CP Hornick & Son Pty Ltd, Hornick Developments Pty Ltd, CPH Transport Pty Ltd and Hornick Plumbing.

The business is managed and operated from the company head office and depot in the suburb of Coorparoo, ten minutes from Brisbane’s CBD.
