Three men including a former union boss will face court next month charged with serious offences rising from last year's Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption.

Former CFMEU boss Dave Hanna and two other men, aged 53 and 41, have been charged with receiving secret commissions, following a joint investigation by the Australian Federal Police and Queensland police.

The allegations were first raised in the royal commission and relate to construction work done on Mr Hanna's home south of Brisbane.

Police allege the work was done by subcontractors being paid to work on other building projects, or done for free.

It is alleged Mr Hanna man received a benefit to the tune of around $400,000.

Last week the state began civil proceedings to confiscate the property, which is estimated to be worth $1.6 million.

All three men are due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on January 25.
