Acquisition Value

The firm was acquired by Fletcher Building in 2016, consolidating its position as a major player in civil construction.

Founded in Manawatū in 1958 by an Irish immigrant, the firm expanded from a small drainage-and-road repair company into a national civil construction leader.
In the 2000s, the firm expanded its operations north and south, acquiring quarries and concrete plants while also venturing into major roading alliances, contributing to motorway links and wind farms.
Grew significantly in the 2010s through large-scale projects, including rebuilding one of New Zealand’s largest road slips and securing Fijian road maintenance contracts.
Today, it provides asphalt and bitumen products, constructs specialized equipment like bitumen sprayers, and offers services ranging from road maintenance to traffic management and more.
Operates nationally in New Zealand and internationally in the Pacific, supporting its work with on-site laboratories and specialized engineering.
A notable achievement was addressing New Zealand’s largest-ever road slip in Manawatū Gorge during the 2010s, in collaboration with local authorities and consultants.
