About Us
Trusted Onsite, Proven in Delivery
Dunamis Construction Group is built on practical experience, hands-on leadership, and a clear focus on delivering work properly.
We support civil and mining projects across Western Australia by providing reliable crews, high-quality execution, and the ability to step into active project environments without disruption.
Our Story
Dunamis was founded by Michael Palmer after nearly two decades working across civil construction, plant operations, and project delivery.
Starting on the ground as an operator and progressing through supervisory and management roles, Michael developed a deep, practical understanding of how projects are delivered in real conditions.
That experience shapes how Dunamis operates today—focused on practical execution, accountability, and delivering work to a consistently high standard

Meet our Director, Michael
Michael Palmer, the Founder and Managing Director of Dunamis Construction Group and Wuba Ngurra, has been in the civil industry for more than 18 years. He worked in the civil construction and earthmoving industry from a very young age as an all-rounder plant operator, and as a direct support to the Operations and Project Manager. By age 19, this experience made Michael a natural choice for the position of Works Supervisor.
Michael’s intelligence, innate ability to grasp complex situations, constant thirst for knowledge, high ethical standards and inherent ability to deal with people from all walks of life, fast-tracked him to senior positions at a very young age. Michael assumed the role of Operations Manager / Project Manager in Palmers Civil Construction at the age of 25 and General Manager at the age of 27.
Michael’s reputation for honesty and integrity, coupled with consistency in his outcomes, was recognised by a number of competitor companies, and at 29, Michael became a Contract Manager / Business Unit Manager at Downer EDI (DM Roads).
At the age of 32, Michael realised that the highest growth and lasting positive impact on people and communities can only be achieved if you are running your own business, and so, Dunamis Construction Group was born in April of 2022.
Michael’s success is evident through consistent workflow and his reputation for delivering on time, every time. He ensures that the work his companies produce is of the highest quality and he endeavours to deal with staff, customers, and suppliers ethically and professionally.
Michael’s education at the beginning of his career was majorly practical, however, Michael is now a holder of various licenses and tickets essential for this industry. He has also earned a Diploma in Project Management, and is currently halfway to a Master’s Degree in Business Administration.
