Apex Civil T T Hugh de Lacy REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Apex Civil, established late 2019, has itself firmly established itself in the central North Island land development, project management and civil construction markets, supported by additional bases in Rotorua, Whakatane and Tauranga. Founded by Luke Rainsford and Kurt Petherick, Apex Civil quickly garnered recognition in the competitive market for larger developments, and has built on that in the years since. Luke’s background in surveying, consultation and project management, complemented by Kurt’s engineering expertise, have laid a robust foundation for the company. This partnership has been pivotal in driving Apex Civil’s growth and success across various sectors of the construction industry. With a dedicated team of over 20 staff, Apex Civil began modestly, but quickly secured significant strategic projects early on, including a key design-and-build subdivision in Taupo and a notable stormwater upgrade for the Rotorua District Council. “The Rotorua job definitely opened doors to more opportunities for us, including various infrastructure projects with other significant clients,” Luke says. “Currently we’re involved in major housing projects, managing everything from roading and drainage to concrete works, retaining walls, fencing and prefabricated housing unit relocations,” Kurt adds. Apex Civil boasts a comprehensive skill set encompassing drain-laying, road construction, earthworks, concrete works, directional drilling, utility installation, retaining walls, fencing and landscaping. “We aim to cover all aspects, leveraging our team’s diverse skill set to deliver projects spanning both the commercial and residential sectors,” Kurt says, noting that this adaptability enables the company to cater to diverse client needs and project scales. Apex Civil places a strong emphasis on safety and quality assurance, ensuring comprehensive project assessments, rigorous construction methodologies, and thorough inspection and testing regimes for clients. Operating throughout the central North Island, including Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Hawke’s Bay, and Manawatu/Whanganui, Apex Civil has established a significant regional presence. In addition to their expertise in drainage, stormwater management, waste-water systems, and potable water reticulation, Apex Civil excels in constructing various types of large retaining walls, including gravity, sheet piling, cantilevered, piled, or anchored walls. Its innovative solutions and meticulous attention to detail continue to set them apart in the industry. Their project management services encompass client representation, development management, feasibility and risk analysis, design and tendering options, as well as contract management for projects ranging from small two-lot subdivisions to expansive commercial and residential developments. Looking ahead, Apex Civil plans to expand further by appointing another director in the near future. “The market is currently stable for us, but we are always seeking new opportunities,” Luke says. “We’re fortunate to have loyal clients who provide repeat business, including projects for local iwi, trusts, and councils,” he says. This steady growth underscores the company’s commitment to quality, reliability, and client satisfaction, he says. Under the leadership of Luke and Kurt, Apex Civil has cemented its position as a formidable player in the civil construction industry. Their collective expertise, dedication to client satisfaction, and comprehensive service offerings position them well for sustained success and expansion in the central North Island and beyond. “Currently we’re involved in major housing projects, managing everything from roading and drainage to concrete works, retaining walls, fencing and prefabricated housing unit relocations.” Earthworks and Civil Construction 10 Ton Truck hire Digger Hire Site Clearing Driveway Prep Earthworks Final Trim Farm Services Cartage Auger Hire wadebrosnan@gmail.com www.facebook.com/ShapeCivil LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR NEXT PROJECT. 0210 261 2965 Taupo, New Zealand
