PMG Contractors Ltd, who have been working with Firth since they
came back into the market in 1987, is the largest of the concrete
suppliers to the new township laying the bigger percentage of all
the foundations, driveways, coloured patios and paths.
Paul Gordon, Director of PMG Contracting Ltd explains, "We are
certainly Firth and Fletcher Building aligned. We call Firth for
deliveries for between 15-20 sites per week, and it can be anything
from 2 to 20 trucks per site. We use Fletcher products such as
steel etc wherever we can. We also work very closely with Firth on
the John Fillmore footpath concrete for Auckland City and other
major projects, so one would say we know Firth better than
most."
"Firth is very good at what they do. With the amount of concrete
deliveries we get from them, we have very few things go wrong. They
do exceptionally well on the really big jobs, where coordination
and timing is imperative. It's a great working relationship and
they are a key supplier for us."
A part of Auckland
Stonefields was named after the blue stone that was mined in the
quarry for many years and which has been used to build what are now
some of Auckland's historic buildings. These include the Auckland
Town Hall, St Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Symonds Street, the
Melanesian Mission at Mission Bay and even some of the steps up to
the One Tree Hill monument.
