Core offering

Currie Construction delivers civil and commercial construction services across the Tairāwhiti and East Coast region of New Zealand. The company operates two divisions — Civil Construction (bridges, roading, flood protection, earthworks, drilling, concrete, slip remediation, retaining walls) and Commercial Construction (commercial building projects, school upgrades, commercial carpentry). Projects are delivered as fixed-price contracts for government, institutional, and commercial clients in Gisborne and surrounding areas.

Product overview

Currie Construction operates as a single unified construction services company with two distinct service divisions — Civil Construction and Commercial Construction — that share internal resources (engineers, project managers, quantity surveyors, carpenters, apprentices) and are managed by separate director-level leaders. The Civil Construction division (led by Sam Currie and Craig Shearar) focuses on infrastructure, earthworks, roading, bridges, flood protection, and retaining walls; the Commercial Construction division (led by John Currie) handles commercial building and carpentry projects. Both divisions operate under the same parent company, sharing back-office, HSEQ, and workforce of 80+ employees.

• Brian Perry Civil: NZ specialist civil contractor (Fletcher Building) delivering ground engineering, foundations, retaining structures and water infrastructure. Comparable in service mix to Currie's civil division and competes for similar government infrastructure programmes.
• Isaac Construction: South Island NZ civil contractor delivering roading, bridges, water infrastructure and earthworks for local government. Similar size and scope profile to Currie, making it a strong regional comparable.
• Naylor Love Construction: NZ commercial and civil contractor delivering commercial buildings, fit-outs, and infrastructure projects. Comparable to Currie in combining a commercial building capability with civil work across regional NZ.
• Hawkins Group: NZ commercial construction firm delivering commercial buildings, education, and healthcare projects. Directly comparable to Currie's commercial division in scope of building work and target client mix.

Broad incumbents

• Fulton Hogan: Major Australasian civil contractor delivering roading, bridges, and infrastructure. Larger and broader in geographic reach than Currie, but directly competes for the same civil infrastructure tenders and is a frequent incumbent on NZ council framework work.
• Downer Group: Large Australasian infrastructure services group delivering transport, utilities, and civil infrastructure. Operates as an incumbent in the same NZ civil tender market as Currie at significantly larger scale.

Regional players

• Russell Roads: Smaller NZ civil and roading contractor based outside the Tairāwhiti region. Less direct overlap than other peers on this list but operates in the same regional civil tender pool for NZ local government work.
