A Legacy of Excellence

For over five decades, McDonald Contracting has been moving more than just buildings—we’ve been moving legacies.

Founded in 1969 by Rob McDonald, the business began with a simple goal: to help people relocate their homes safely, efficiently, and with care. What started as a small, family-run operation has grown into one of Australia’s most trusted names in house relocation and heavy haulage.

Now led by second-generation owners Shane and Chantel McDonald, the company has spent the last 25 years evolving, innovating, and solving some of the industry’s toughest relocation challenges. Shane, a natural problem solver, brings a hands-on approach to every project—designing custom solutions for moving everything from heritage-listed buildings and modular structures to oversized and unconventional loads.

Backed by a dedicated team, cutting-edge fleet, and a reputation for getting the job done right, McDonald Contracting continues to set the standard for house relocation in Australia—one move at a time.

We’re honoured to support Pink Finss, a Hawkesbury-based organisation offering care and connection for women and men diagnosed with cancer.

As a major sponsor, McDonald Contracting covers the fuel costs for transporting patients to and from treatment appointments—a small gesture with big impact. We’re proud to have our logo displayed on their  dedicated vehicle and to stand beside an organisation that’s making a real difference in the lives of local families.

McDonald Contracting is a proud supporter of the Australian Stock Horse Society’s National Show, a celebration of Australia’s most versatile and iconic horse breed.

With strong rural roots and a respect for tradition, this partnership reflects our appreciation for craftsmanship, community spirit, and the country lifestyle. We’re thrilled to be involved in preserving and promoting this unique part of Australian heritage.
