| 109 BUILDING Isles Construction Ltd Project for AgResearch. “We’ve also undertaken some extensive Design & Build projects in our time and, on the residential side are undertaking a couple of land subdivisions at the moment. We’re also just about to start work on a small warehouse development, so there’s plenty of variety for the team,” Tarsha says. Acknowledging that construction, by its nature, experiences highs and lows, Tarsha says there’s a sense of optimism with economic factors, such as interest rates shifting positively, that developers will begin to invest again in projects they have been sitting on, waiting for the market to align more positively. The vast majority of projects Isles Construction undertakes are in the Manawatu and in the past the company has taken on considerable work the Defence Force at Waiouru as well as a reasonable amount in Whanganui. Both Tarsha and Cameron are enormously proud of their long history of bringing on new builders into the sector. “We would have had, over the tenure of the whole business, hundreds of apprentices. At any given time we have about a dozen working for us, with three or four graduating each year. That’s been a huge input into the future health of the sector. We produce really great skilled builders, given the quality of our supervisors on site,” Tarsha says. And being both very involved in Isles Construction on a daily basis, with Tarsha looking after all the finances and ensuring the various managers are well supported, both Cameron and Tarsha are proud they have staff who have worked for them for a substantial period of time. “There’s a feeling for us of the company being quite personal. We talk to our clients and find solutions in a very upfront way when any issues may come up. They appreciate this level of engagement ongoing with them and it underpins why our reputation has continued to grow.” “The decision to focus Isles Construction in the commercial space at that time was the right one.” Proud to be associated with Isles Construction Ltd Electrical Inspections Solar design and Installation Electrical Repairs & Maintenance Appliance Testing & Tagging Domestic, Commercial Installations Ph: 06 353 3355 | Mob: 027 248 0959 12 Andrew Young Street | P.O Box 269 | Palmerston North www.lwelectrical.co.nz by Healey We’re proud to support Isles Construction Ltd Manager Dean Berendt 06 350 1006 enquiries@maxtarr.co.nz | www.maxtarr.co.nz COMMERCIAL · Commercial electrical · Residential electrical · Fire and security alarms Proudly supporting Isles Construction Ltd Commercial and Industrial Plumbing Specialists Your local commercial plumbing & drainage contractors with over 100 years of experience.
