The foundations of safer, stronger buildings.

Structural steel for complex commercial projects.

COMMERCIAL

Trusted by leading construction companies for over 35 years.

We deliver structural steel solutions for some of the region’s most significant commercial and infrastructure projects. Our portfolio includes warehouses, multi-storey buildings, schools, hospitals, bridges, and seismic strengthening across the central and lower North Island.

We’re SFC-accredited for both CC3 fabrication and erection, and hold SiteWise Gold health and safety accreditation. With a modern facility, CNC equipment, and a skilled team, we have the systems and experience to deliver complex projects safely, to spec, and on time.

WHAT WE DO

Our Commercial Steel Solutions.

We work alongside construction companies, developers, and homeowners to deliver structural steel solutions that stand up to New Zealand standards. We don’t aim to be the biggest — we aim to set the benchmark for quality, reliability, safe delivery, and problem-solving under pressure.

Structural steel fabrication

We deliver structural steel packages for large-scale developments including warehouses, distribution centres, schools, new residential builds, and multi-storey commercial buildings.

Infrastructure steel

From bridges to public facilities and utilities, we support infrastructure projects where steel must perform under heavy loads and tough conditions. Our fabrication, QA processes, and on-site erection systems ensure long-term safety and durability.

Seismic strengthening

Our team has extensive experience upgrading critical facilities such as hospitals, heritage sites, and civic infrastructure. We understand the complexity of working in live environments, coordinating with other trades, and delivering safe solutions that extend the life of existing structures.

AESS solutions and custom metalwork

Beyond major structures, we also fabricate and install the details that make projects complete. Architectural exposed structural steel, handrails, bollards, and other custom elements. These smaller elements are built to the same high standard, ensuring consistency across every part of a project.

Custom gates and access solutions

Swing, sliding, and cantilever gates built for industrial and commercial sites. Designed for strength, durability, and security, our gates are fabricated locally, fully assembled before galvanising, and built to withstand heavy daily use.

Turitea Pā

This striking two-story cantilevered structure now stands as a modern tribute to Te Pūhara o Turitea, the historic watchtower once used by Rangitāne to safeguard their lands.
Designed to blend history, architecture, and landscape, the lookout offers panoramic views of the Manawatū River and surrounding whenua. It’s more than just a viewpoint – it’s a place of reflection, storytelling, and connection.
