Customhouse Constructions enters small business restructuring

Customhouse Constructions Pty Ltd entered small business restructuring on 21 October 2026, according to a notice published on ASIC’s Published Notices register. The notice, published against the company’s ACN 639 104 457, is published under Regulation 5.3B.54 and records the appointment date and the publication date as the same day.

The notice names Matthew John Bookless of SVP as the restructuring practitioner appointed to the company. A small business restructuring appointment, made under Part 5.3B of the Corporations Act, lets an eligible company keep trading while a practitioner works with it on a plan for creditors to vote on. It is a separate process from liquidation or voluntary administration, and the notice uses neither of those terms. The notice does not state whether the company has ceased, paused or continued its operations during the process.

Why it matters

The published notice discloses only the statutory particulars of the appointment. It does not include a creditor list, a debt figure or any detail on projects the company currently holds, so none of that can be reported from this record. Anyone owed money by, or currently contracting with, Customhouse Constructions should treat the appointment as a reason to confirm the company’s status directly rather than assume the record covers it.

Customhouse Constructions joins other Queensland building companies in formal insolvency processes this spring, including Brisbane’s Forma Joinery, which entered voluntary administration on 17 September.

The numbers

The notice records two dates: an appointment date of 21 October 2026 and a publication date of 21 October 2026, the same day. It is published under Regulation 5.3B.54 of the Corporations Regulations 2001, the provision covering the appointment of a restructuring practitioner for a company, against ACN 639 104 457.

What’s next

Under Part 5.3B, Customhouse Constructions and its appointed practitioner have statutory timeframes to put a restructuring plan to creditors for a vote. Further ASIC notices, if lodged, would confirm whether a plan is proposed, accepted, or the process ends in a different formal outcome. ASIC’s Published Notices register is the authoritative place to track any later filing against this ACN, including a possible plan outcome notice or a subsequent change of process. This notice does not name any connected development, site or project.
