McMahon Services is a construction and demolition enterprise originating from Australia, established in 1959 with its main office located in Adelaide.

History

Initially launched as a demolition business by Glen McMahon, the company broadened its operations into the construction industry when Andrew and David McMahon took over management in 1990. It provides services to both public and private clients throughout the majority of Australian states.

The firm possesses one of only twelve Class A asbestos removal licences in South Australia, which authorizes it to manage friable asbestos and hazardous dust. It claims the distinction of being the largest asbestos service provider in Australia.

In September 2020, McMahon expanded its footprint in the South Australian construction market by acquiring Asurco Contracting.
