Small Beginnings

Construction Contracts Limited has been involved in civil construction in the Wellington region since 1991. David Howard and Dayle Scrimshaw came together, after operating individual contracting companies, and began completing street reconstructions with drainage upgrades and replacements for the Hutt City Council. Over time we developed capacity and capability and specilised in renwing and upgrading water supply, wastewater and stormwater systems across the Wellington Region

Specialists

CCL have always sought to innovate and utilise new technologies wherever possible. We were one of the first contractors to use pipe bursting as a method to replace old pipes saving time, the disruption of excavating and therefore money. We became known as experts in this field. In 2018 we got involved in horizontal directional drilling and bought the first of our fleet of drills. Using this minimally invasive and eco-friendly technique, we developed a specialist drilling team to work alongside our civil construction teams.

Expertise

In 2016 Steve Scrimshaw joined us as a third director. A certified drainlayer Steve brought a wealth of practical skills and technical expertise and began an apprenticeshiip training programme to develop the next generation of skilled tradespeople. CCL have trained dozens of drainlayers, operators and civil infrastructure tradespeople who taken their skill and knowledge out into the civil construction industry in New Zealand. We are happy to see anyone leave CCL better off for having worked here.

CCL have been key collaborators in many high-profile works in the Wellington region including the Arras Tunnel Precinct, and Transmission Gully. We spent a year on location in Christchurch to provide watermain and sewer repair
