CONTECH’S
AWARD-WINNING
CONTRIBUTIONS

The standard we aim for is ‘expectations exceeded.’

If we meet that benchmark on every job, we know our clients will be satisfied.

 

Sometimes this leads to further recognition. It is always rewarding when our work on civil engineering and construction projects is saluted by our peers in the sector, in New Zealand and overseas.

 

Here is a selection of the awards Contech has won for its contribution to clients’ projects.
