Business South July 2025

| 37 Bragg Building & Design Shahn Bragg says building the four duplexes comprising eight, two-bedroom units situated adjacent to the marae was a big undertaking for his team. “We were able to prove ourselves and do the project efficiently and in a good time frame. That was a big part of what gave us an opportunity to do this papakāika project.” REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT In addition, Shahn co-owns Cohesive Construction Southland, which supplies Wide Span Sheds to which Bragg Building & Design subcontracts, plus the company has just purchased a Hiab truck for streamlining its own work, or for anyone who needs it. Shahn, his wife Lorenna, and their team are looking forward to the business’ exciting next step following the purchase of a spacious two-level commercial premises in Clyde Street to operate from. “We’ve worked from home for the last 10 years and we’re going to be branching into the commercial sector, and having a greater presence somewhere that’s visually professional looking, is good not only for our staff but for our clients as well.” Shahn sees the growth and success of the business as a collaborative journey, with the papakāika project being something of a catalyst. “Our subbies are on board and can see that we’re growing, and want to be a part of what we’re trying to achieve and that’s what I’m trying to create for my team as well, I want people to come along for the journey and be a part of it.” PRESTON PRE-CUT LTD MANUFACTURERS OF ROOF TRUSSES AND WALL FRAMES Ph: 03 218 3647 • Brent Cell: 0274 15 1963 30 Mersey St, Invercargill • Email: prestonprecuts@xtra.co.nz • Prenail Frames • Roof Trusses • Loose Timber NZO SG • Claw Beams • Laminated and LVL Timbers Suppliers of: PAINTER - DECORATORS 223 ORETI ROAD, Invercargill, New Zealand 027 250 9111 | urbancoloursouth@gmail.com Proud to support Bragg Building & Design Ltd Construction Cost Consultants Projec We are proud to be providing project management and quantity surveying services on this landmark Murihiku Marae Papakaika “Every dollar counts” t Managers Southern Quantity Surveyors 109 Gala Street, INVERCARGILL Ph: 03 218 6544 Web: www.sqs.co.nz 24 Ettrick St, Invercargill | Ph: 03 218 4394 www.csroofingsouthland.nz For every residential roof quote accepted,CS Roofing Southland makes a donation to Hospice Southland.
