Got questions about our services? Here are answers to common questions about our construction, transport, and site services across the North Island.
Yes, we handle multiple stages of your project in-house. Our team takes care of everything from site prep and construction to transport and trucking, HIAB lifting, and hydro excavation. This streamlined approach reduces delays and keeps everything coordinated — so you deal with one team from start to finish.
Yes, we prepare sites for both commercial and industrial developments. Our civil construction team handles earthworks, drainage, accessways, and foundation prep to get the site build-ready. We work to plan, meet compliance standards, and coordinate with other contractors or consultants as needed. Whether it’s a new warehouse or a multi-unit site, we make sure the groundwork is done right.
Yes, we can handle transport to remote or off-road sites. Our fleet includes trucks suited for uneven, rural, and hard-to-access terrain. We regularly deliver to farms, construction sites, and other locations where standard access isn’t possible. If the site is particularly challenging, we’ll assess access in advance to make sure the right gear is on the job.
Yes, we can transport oversized loads across the lower North Island and surrounding regions. Our team handles load planning, permits, and the safe delivery of large or heavy items — from steel frames to machinery. If required, we also arrange pilot vehicles and escorts. Learn more about our trucking services for oversized and specialised transport.
Yes, we can work around live operating sites with minimal disruption to your business. Our team plans builds carefully to maintain access, manage noise, and keep safety tight around staff or customers. We coordinate with your schedule to avoid downtime and keep operations running smoothly. Whether it’s a retail space or a busy commercial site, we know how to work without getting in the way.
