Securing $6 Million in Industry Investment
Grant support that helped CQ Building Supplies secure $6 million through the Industry Partnership Program.
The challenge
CQ Building Supplies is a regional building supply and frame and truss business serving Central Queensland. The business had a clear plan to expand its manufacturing capability, but turning that plan into a successful government funding application required more than a good idea. Competitive grant programs expect a strong economic rationale, credible evidence and a clear link between private investment and public benefit.
Our approach
Ronan Analytics worked alongside the owner to build the Industry Partnership Program application from the evidence up. We drew on official data to show the regional demand, workforce and supply chain context for the investment, then shaped that evidence into a clear case for how the project would lift productivity, support local jobs and strengthen regional manufacturing.
Every claim in the application was tested against verifiable sources and mapped to the program's assessment criteria, so assessors could see exactly why the project merited support.
The outcome
The application was successful, securing $6 million in Industry Partnership Program funding. The business now has a data-backed investment narrative it can draw on for future funding, financing and partnership opportunities.
