Walter Construction Group Limited, known for most of its life as Concrete Constructions Pty Ltd,[1][2] was one of Australia's oldest and fifth largest construction company[3] prior to its 2005 collapse. The company was founded on 21 April 1920 by Allen Lewis.[4][5] It remained independent until 1999, when the company was bought by the German Walter Bau [de] and rebranded as Walter Construction Group.[6]
