Business History

The business was established in 1990 by Kevin McLean. Mackay had only two survey supply outlets at the time and neither of these were interested in selling consumables that were required for Construction/ Surveying. Initial customers were John Holland Construction and local Surveying Companies. Mining Companies became interested in NQSS through ‘buy local’ policies, and State and Local Government business contacts were established as the business grew. By 1995 the business had over one hundred customers in the Mining, Construction, Surveying, and Government Sectors. These customers included John Hollands, Thiess Contractors, BHP Mining, MIM, Allied Mining, North Goonyella Coal, Newlands Coal, Brambles, and Goldings Construction. The business was sold to Lane and Associates on 20th February 1995 for personal reasons. Operating as Macegay Pty Ltd and trading as NQ SURVEY SUPPLIES the business was run by Margaret Lane from 77 Grendon St, Mackay. On 15th December 1997 the business was purchased by Kevin McLean and is now trading at 15 Nott St, East Mackay. An Internet presence was established via a web page in December, 1997. A faxstream duet system was installed to allow 24 hour fax service in conjuction with a 24 hour mobile service. The business now accepts and processes orders worldwide via high speed internet, fax, and telephone. Our goal is to have the order packed and ready to go by 2:30pm for items kept in stock. We specialize in Surveying Equipment and Supplies and have many years experience setting up, running and managing Survey crews and their surveying resources.
