The history of the early days of Bayswater Contracting spans a century of resilience, adaptation, and steady growth.
Its origins date back to 1926, when Frederick List and his sons, Albert and Harold List, founded F. List and Sons in Perth, Western Australia. What began as a modest landscape gardening business, hauling soil with horses and drays, soon transitioned into pavement and driveway construction—marking the company’s first steps into civil contracting.
