Things are coming together as progress continues at Sims Road, Penrose, where Firth is close to unveiling its biggest, fastest, and most advanced concrete plant in the country.

While many would say New Zealand’s housing market is in a slump, group home builder Wolfbrook Residential appears to have found the right formula. The New Zealand based property developer continues to deliver high-quality, affordable homes in growing communities, with many selling off the plan before construction even begins.

It’s been a standout year for one of Firth’s smaller regional teams - P. E. R. T. H. Concrete, Whanganui. The team has been busier than ever, producing record volumes of concrete month after month and setting new benchmarks for the region.

Firth’s products often form the foundations of houses, buildings, bridges, urban spaces - and everything in between. Many projects take years to progress from the initial concept, through product specification, to final supply.

Over the past year, projects both large and small - some glamorous, others more understated - were considered by Concrete NZ with winners announced at the Concrete NZ Construction Awards in June. These awards celebrate excellence across individual, technical and sustainability achievements within the concrete sector.

Auckland’s waterfront has long been considered one of the city’s most treasured assets, a vibrant joining of land and sea - a jewel in the crown of the city.
