I have had the pleasure of working closely with Southcoast Construction on various construction projects over the years. During our Classroom new build and re-roof projects Southcoast consistently demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to delivering on time and within budget. Their track record of successful projects, attention to detail, and ability to effectively manage resources are outstanding.

- Perrie Topia, Principal

Southcoast completed a multi-building roofing and weathertightness project with us in 2022. The scale and complexity of this project challenged all involved but Southcoast were always a reassuring presence. Their solutions focused approach and dedication to ensuring that work was completed to the highest standard was combined with their desire to do the best for us as a school. Classes were in operation throughout this project, and communication from Southcoast was always clear and timely which allowed us to make any necessary minor adjustments to school events. Given the nationwide supply issues, there were inevitably some interruptions to work plans, but Southcoast’s clear communication and flexibility meant that the project was completed with minimal fuss or delay. The whole team were friendly, personable, and incredibly professional in their interactions with staff, and we felt they went the extra mile to make this experience pleasant for us. We are now quite proud of these buildings!

- Jacqui Brown, Principal

Southcoast has been exceptional through all aspects and stages of our property project. Their solution-focussed approach and attention to detail has made them a pleasure to work with and has ensured that the end result is a building and courtyard that our whole community is incredibly proud of.

Our school has worked collaboratively with Southcoast Construction on a number of construction, renovation and demolition projects. We have found the company great to work with due to their leadership and contractors being clear, effective communicators, the pricing of their work to be fair and reasonable and the quality of their workmanship meets or exceeds expectation. Southcoast Construction have had a hugely positive impact on our school and its buildings to ensure they support the vision, goals and aspirations of our community. I would highly recommend this company and its team without reservation.

- Scott Walden, Coastal School Principal

Southcoast Construction are very professional, always ready to answer any queries and carried out the building work at our school to a high standard.

- Stratford Primary School Principal

The School is very impressed with the work ethic and care for this project. Having it finished ready to move in is above and beyond so thank you sincerely. Disruption to the teachers and our children has been minimal. We have really enjoyed working with everyone.

- Fitzroy School Principal

The overall result was outstanding and would not have been achieved without the great work of SCNPL. I would have no hesitation in recommending SCNPL. We as a Trust Board are about to commence a further build project and we hope SCNPL will be part of this.

- Mission College New Plymouth Trust Board

Southcoast made the successful transition to take over as Main Contractor as Mainzeal went into receivership in early 2013. Since then Southcoast has successfully delivered the project, incorporating significant additional scope and undertaking removal of asbestos present in all facades of the building that had not originally been identified by the design consultants. The good relationship level of communication Southcoast had with the court staff greatly helped this process.

- Alex Sargent (PM Project Manager)

Southcoast Construction communicates well and responds quickly to any issues and requests, I have enjoyed working with them on this project and FDMC are also pleased with the project as it is nearing completion.

- Heemi Stevenson (Saunders Stevenson Quantity Surveyors & Project Managers)

During the past three years Southcoast Construction, as our Principal building contractor, have proved themselves to be a high performing construction business, with superb communication, solution focus practices, high standard of workmanship and timeliness of delivery.

- Ernie Heath (CCSC Centre Manager)

TSB Showplace Acting Venue Manager David Ligget says the entire project was a team effort between New Plymouth District Council, BOON, Southcoast Construction, Opus and many others who communicated superbly to ensure the TSB Showplace could remain a working venue while construction was happening.

We have found Southcoast to be efficient, timely and easy to work with. It has made construction easy.

- Stratford High School Principal

Principal Ngatai Walker said the building had been completed on time, on budget, and was a positive experience from start to finish, “Everyone’s just worked together from the people at the Ministry of Education to the builders to the community.”

Southcoast overall did an excellent job and were very cooperative and collaborative. They uploaded all incidents and near misses to Pinnacle so Council had good overall view of HSE on this contract. Also used CEMAR from contract management well.

- New Plymouth District Council

You have done a fantastic job on site and it has been a pleasure dealing with you.
