We know how to handle the big stuff
At Nick Pemberton Construction, we’re not afraid to get stuck in — whether it’s erecting timber poles, laying deep foundations, or making things flow where they should. From retaining walls that stand tall and proud to drainage that gets things moving, we bring skill, grit, and a good dose of classic kiwi humour to every site.
Based in the Waikato and servicing the Coromandel, Bay of Plenty, Auckland, and beyond, our tight-knit team tackles civil construction with the right tools and the right attitude. We’re straight shooters who take pride in quality work — because let’s face it, erect wood never looked so good.
Big enough to get it done. Small enough to care.

Siteworks Earthworks
Every civil construction project starts from the ground up. Our team handles all groundwork with dependable machinery and a hands-on approach, making sure sites are levelled, stable, and safe for what comes next. We look after earthmoving, foundation preps, and the details that make a difference when everything has to run right from day one.
Pavement Construction
Nick Pemberton Construction lays the groundwork for roads, car parks and accessways you can count on. Using modern methods and reliable materials, we build pavements to last New Zealand’s changing weather. From new construction to repairs, our crew manages every step, keeping sites tidy and traffic moving with minimum disruption.
Drainage Utilities
We deliver drainage and utility solutions that work in the real world. Whether it’s a subdivision in Hamilton, a large-scale site, or an upgrade out in the regions, we get water and services flowing safely. People know us for planning carefully, digging smart, and making sure everything meets standards from day one until handover.
Retaining Walls
Steep sections and tricky boundaries are no problem for us. Our team designs and builds retaining walls that hold strong in New Zealand conditions.
