66 | CIVIL Siteworks Civil Construction � Anne Boswell Specialists in sustainable civil solutions No matter the size or complexity, Siteworks brings the same high level of professionalism and attention to detail to every project. “This open and honest approach has earned us a good, loyal client base.” From its earliest days, Siteworks Ltd, which was founded in 1992 by husband-andwife team Dave and Janet Stewart, has been committed to providing quality services across a wide range of civil construction needs, with projects ranging from small reinstatement jobs to major subdivisions. Over the last 30-plus years, the Auckland company has grown from a small family-run business into a trusted leader in civil and site works, and has built a strong reputation for delivering projects safely, on time and within budget, while maintaining a clear focus on communication and client satisfaction. Its client base is diverse, and includes schools, councils, universities, commercial developers, engineers, architects, and private property owners. No matter the size or complexity, Siteworks brings the same high level of professionalism and attention to detail to every project. One of Siteworks’ most significant contributions to the construction industry in New Zealand is its role in the development and promotion of permeable concrete. Around 18 years ago, Siteworks began working with the concrete industry to introduce this innovative material to the market – a sustainable alternative that has since become an increasingly popular choice for environmentally conscious projects. Permeable concrete is a highly porous material designed to allow water to pass directly through its base layer into the ground beneath. Unlike traditional concrete, it reduces the need for stormwater drains and prevents surface ponding. This simple yet effective design reduces the strain on drainage systems, allowing rainwater to return naturally to the soil and recharge the subgrade beneath. For property developers, the benefits of permeable concrete go beyond sustainability. Because it does not count as a “hard surface area” under many council planning rules, it enables larger building footprints without sacrificing compliance. This makes it an attractive option for developers looking to maximise usable space while meeting environmental and regulatory requirements. Siteworks has been at the forefront of implementing this technology in driveways, car parks, and footpaths, offering a robust and easy-to-install solution that aligns with the growing demand for sustainable infrastructure. While permeable concrete is a standout feature of its portfolio, Siteworks’ services extend far beyond that. Its experienced team and fleet of modern machinery allow it to manage projects from start to finish, taking the pressure off clients and ensuring seamless delivery. Siteworks’ wide scope of services – including traditional concrete and asphalt works, directional drilling, foundations and structural works, bulk excavation and earthworks, drainage, stormwater, and sewerage, and hydrovac excavation – enables it to provide clients with the convenience of dealing with one trusted partner throughout the entire construction process. What truly sets the Siteworks team apart is the way it works with its clients. The company operates on a “no surprises” policy, ensuring clear communication around cost, schedule, quality, and safety. “This open and honest approach has earned us a good, loyal client base,” director Dave Stewart says. This values-driven approach is at the heart of Siteworks’ longevity. Over three decades, the company has proven that combining technical expertise with client care results in not just completed projects, but lasting relationships. As Siteworks continues to grow, the company remains committed to promoting sustainable, practical solutions across the industry and region. With permeable concrete continuing to gain traction, and demand for efficient, environmentally responsible infrastructure on the rise, Siteworks is well positioned to keep leading the way. With decades of experience in civil construction and site works, Siteworks delivers quality, safety and efficiency on every project.
