108 | Hamilton Fencing T T Sue Russell Retaining walls, fences a core focus Hamilton Fencing is geared up to take care of all site preparation and excavation work, through to the completed fencing or retaining structure. CONTRACTING Adam Wilson, of Hamilton Fencing, says that business continues to be very good, putting down this good fortune to the year’s of hard work he and the team have put in. “We have some wonderful long standing clients and strong relationships with property developers. Because we offer retaining wall work when land is being developed and then follow up with fencing work for home owners, we get two bites of the pie,” says Adam. These days, Hamilton Fencing has a team of 22 full time and one part-time staff and are very active in what Adam calls the Golden Diamond encompassing Te Kauwhata to the north, west to Raglan on the coast, south to Tokoroa and east to Whitianga and Coromandel Peninsula. “This keeps us plenty busy as more and more land is being developed for new housing.” Working across large-scale commercial projects to smaller residential jobs, Adam says by deliberately concentrating on retaining walls and fencing, the business model is very strong. Hamilton Fencing is geared up to take care of all site preparation and excavation work, through to the completed fencing or retaining structure. “Our clients know we know exactly what is necessary and we only produce quality work that will stand the test of time. That’s what our reputation has been built on.” Adam’s very aware that both the fencing and retaining divisions are vital to the continued success of the business. Both are needed to ensure company profitability. This year is the company’s quarter century in business which is owned by Carolyn and Scott Harvey. Adam, who comes from a Project Management background in construction and before that IT, has been with the business 6 years. “Scott concentrates on the retaining wall work and likes to be on the tools, whereas I enjoy the paper-work and organisation. I think its a real strength of the company that Scott is actively out there with the teams, doing the work with them and passing on knowledge.” Having the two arms of activity that complement each other means that over the years, a solid core of loyal and long-standing clients have evolved. “It’s true to say that fencing and retaining is a competitive industry to be part of but because we do the two, can also handle all the site work through partners such as Vision Complete Earthworks and deliver consistently high standards of work, our clients come back to us time and time again.” As far as the retaining walls division is concerned, Hamilton Fencing engages professional engineers, however there’s a strong element of information flowing from Hamilton Fencing to these engineers, given the years of experience and understanding what has to be in place to successfully build a strong, permanent retaining wall system. Adam says 2024 has started off with a hiss and a roar and looks to continue to do so. The company is currently engaged on two substantial sites at Lockerbie Estate in Morrinsville and for Pragma Homes in Horsham Downs, Hamilton North. And in exciting news, the business, which is based at Gordonton Road, on the outskirts of Hamilton will be shifting to new premises, to be completed in two years, signalling further capacity and development. Two new staff members have joined the company in recent months, another indicator of a positive time ahead. “We employ people based on attitude and work ethic. We work closely with Vision Complete Pathways, who find people who would benefit from a fresh employment opportunity. They are about lifting people up into a more positive space and potential and we’re proud to be a part of that vision.” General & organic waste Residential & commercial 3, 4.5, 6 & 9 m³ skip bins Residential and commercial Community events Private events Sporting events Hire Bins Cambridge 07 827 33 75 www.cambins.co.nz
