What Cassidy Construction does

Cassidy Construction is a privately-held, self-performing main construction contractor headquartered in Kingsland, Auckland, founded in 2000. The company delivers full-contract construction services across nine verticals in New Zealand: civil, commercial, industrial, HV electrical, infrastructure (including water and wastewater), service stations, education, civic, and food and beverage. Rather than relying primarily on subcontractors, Cassidy self-performs civil, concrete, carpentry and finishing elements using its own workforce of carpenters, concrete workers, drain layers, painters, engineers, project managers, quantity surveyors, cadets and apprentices, supplemented by a stable network of pre-qualified subcontractors. The firm supports delivery with in-house Building Information Modelling (BIM) for shop drawings, clash detection and construction methodology, and operates a tailored quality assurance system managed by project managers on site.

Cassidy's revenue model is project-based, generated through competitive tenders, negotiated contracts, and early contractor involvement (ECI) engagements, with more than 90 percent of work sourced from repeat clients. The client base spans enterprise corporates (Z Energy, BP, Mobil, Vector, Powerco, Counties Energy, Northpower, Contact Energy, Fonterra, Frucor, DB Breweries, NZ Steel, Oji Fibre Solutions, Auckland Radiology Group, Waitomo) and government/non-profit clients (Watercare Services, Auckland Council, Ministry of Education, Catholic Diocese of Auckland). Over 25+ years the firm has delivered more than 2,000 contracts to fewer than 100 clients, operating across multiple New Zealand regions including Auckland, Northland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Otago and Manawatu-Whanganui, with no public listing, parent company, or institutional investor identified in the available data.
