One point of contact, from first conversation to final advice.
Tripod Solutions is led by Domenic De Fazio, a former Chief Operating Officer, Chief Executive, and statutory board director. He brings senior advisory, board governance, and applied intelligence to construction and infrastructure organisations, from growing privately held businesses through to major operators. You deal with him directly, with no layers between you and the advice.
Tripod Solutions is led directly by Domenic De Fazio, a civil engineer and former senior executive with experience across major construction and infrastructure organisations. That experience spans hands-on project delivery and leading a 2,500-person business, so the counsel is grounded in how these organisations actually run, at any scale. Every engagement is led by the Principal, so the client works with him rather than with a layer beneath him.
There is no junior team, and no report handed over at the end of a project to sit on a shelf. The client is never at a distance from the person doing the thinking. Where deeper specialist capability is needed, it is brought in through a trusted referral network and managed by the Principal, and that holds as the practice grows.
Tripod serves founder-owners of construction and infrastructure firms, the executive teams of mid-tier contractors, the boards of private and PE-backed infrastructure businesses, and industry associations, peak bodies, and government-adjacent organisations.
Each pillar generates engagement through a model suited to the work and the client. The practice is structured to remain principal-led at all times.
Domenic De Fazio is a civil engineer with over 30 years in Australian and New Zealand construction and infrastructure. His career has progressed through project delivery, operations management, and executive leadership of major contracting organisations, with direct accountability for revenue, people, transactions, and operational reform.
His executive career includes Chief Operating Officer of BildGroup, Chief Executive of Fulton Hogan's New Zealand construction business, and Chief Executive of Urban Infrastructure at Broadspectrum, leading a 2,500-person business across Australia and New Zealand through a contested sale and the disruption of COVID. His foundation in major civil project delivery was built at Transfield, including the Melbourne CityLink construction project.
He is a former Victorian Branch President and Chairman of the Civil Contractors Federation. His director experience spans alliance boards, statutory bodies, and private boards, including the Kaikoura Earthquake Recovery Alliance Board, Melbourne Water alliance boards, VIDA Roads Leadership Teams, and multiple Broadspectrum subsidiary boards.
No proposal process, no intake form, no account manager in the way. Three steps from first contact to the work beginning.
