OUR MAHI

MANGOREI ROAD- RESIDENTIAL RENOVATION
A project that balanced form and function beautifully — a true showcase of modern design and craftsmanship.
Working alongside such passionate and detail-focused clients made the process an absolute pleasure. We’re proud to have played a part in bringing their vision to life with care, precision, and top-tier results.

ENTEC BELL BLOCK-COMMERCIAL BUILD
From the ground up, this commercial project for Entec was a full-package job. Stormwater, plumbing, drainage, and full amenity fit-offs for their brand new office building on Mustang Drive, Bell Block.
We worked closely with the team at Shed Ex to deliver a high-quality, future-ready system that meets the demands of a busy, modern workspace. Tidy execution, solid timelines, and a project we’re proud to put our name to.

PAK N SAVE TARANAKI - TAILORED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
For a high-traffic, 24/7 operation like a supermarket, keeping everything flowing smoothly isn’t optional — it’s essential. We worked with our client to design a tailored plumbing and drainage maintenance schedule that ensures consistent performance, minimal disruption, and long-term reliability.
From back-of-house systems to customer-facing fixtures, every element was reviewed, maintained, and upgraded where needed — including drainage checks, fixture servicing, and proactive plumbing inspections.
Our focus was on preventing issues before they happen, keeping downtime to a minimum, and maintaining full compliance with health and safety standards. It’s about giving our client peace of mind — knowing their critical systems are in good hands, day and night.
