Services
Skate Parks
We design and construct high-end skate parks for councils and developers. Our team collaborates with architects to create technically complex features using in-house fabricated steel and coping elements. With Mitchcon concrete pumps and precision shotcrete techniques, we deliver durable, competition-grade surfaces that cater to skateboarders of all skill levels.
Insitu Walls
Our insitu wall solutions include retaining walls, seating walls, and curved structures with premium finishes. Using new formwork, custom concrete mixes, and hand-finishing techniques, we achieve Class 1 and Class 2 finishes that combine structural integrity with aesthetic appeal for both commercial and public spaces.
Architectural Work
We specialise in custom architectural concrete elements like sculptures, feature signage, and rock climbing walls. Our expertise in formwork and shotcrete enables us to create complex shapes and designs that align with architects' visions, including a 4.8m high x 10.0m long wall with hand-finished surfaces.
Playspaces
Our playspace solutions offer durable, low-maintenance concrete alternatives to plastic equipment. We construct custom elements like slides, sandpits, and parkour walls that integrate seamlessly with landscapes. These designs prioritise safety, longevity, and creative play while meeting council and community requirements.
Stairs
We build curved stairs, terrace seating, and stepped structures using in-house carpentry and formwork expertise. Off-site fabrication of components allows faster installation timelines while maintaining precision, ensuring seamless integration with both modern and traditional architectural styles.
