Another subdivision underway in Ashley 🚧

The owner is making the most of the property by creating space for two new homes, and we’re currently on site getting the new driveway and groundwork sorted.

Subdivisions aren’t something everyone knows we do, but they’re right up our alley. From earthworks and access to drainage and siteworks, we can help get the civil side of your project underway.

Thinking about subdividing your property? Give us a call - we’re happy to come out for a free, no-obligation property assessment.

Big rain events can create big problems!

Our team is currently working on a river diversion as part of urgent slip stabilisation works, helping protect a nearby rail corridor from damage and potential collapse.

A challenging job with a pretty important outcome - keeping critical infrastructure safe while the river is redirected around the affected area.

Plenty of machinery, plenty of water, and a job that needs to be done right 💪

While most were sleeping, our crew was hard at work on the West Coast 🌙🚧

Weekend night works saw new culverts and headwalls installed beneath the rail tracks, delivering another important infrastructure upgrade. Great effort by the team to get it done safely and efficiently alongside Isaac Construction

Busy night last night for the lads removing a section of old watermain for renewal assessments.

The large shutdown impacted a lot of central Rangiora businesses so night works was implemented to ensure no disruption 🚧
