Testimonials

Our new river path is now open!! Smiling faces all round – including the fantastic staff of Austin Asphalt, who have gone above and beyond 😀

Hohepa Canterbury

I was out with the boys around midday and I have to say, your staff were some of the most polite Civil workers I have ever met. They were all friendly, made sure to go out of their way and thank me for the pizza and were just really nice guys.

I made sure to say thanks to them all for looking after our staff when with them but did want to just pass on that feedback as the culture within Austin from that tidbit and also talking to our staff it seems like a very positive work force and I see a lot of workforces and Austin Asphalt is one of the better ones I’ve seen at the moment so well done to you and the leadership team down there!

Whatever is in the water is working and I commend you.

As an FYI, I’m not saying this to try get in the good books and say it genuinely so be proud and feel free to pass on to the other guys in the office as it will be a combined effort

Bruce Baldwin

We wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your staff or the great job you have done for us here at Sunhaven Place. We had a gathering of residents yesterday and everyone is very happy with the job and we were so impressed with your staff. They were always courteous and obliging and took great pride in their work. Joan even had her groceries carried in by your guys one day. So please pass on our thanks.

John and Christine Larson

Pass on our appreciation to the team for a job well done.

Neville Austin

To the team at Austin Contracting, on behalf of my wife and I we would like to thank you all for the great job you have just completed at our property. Despite the challenges of the weather and the property owner (namely me) who was forever keeping a watchful eye on proceedings you have delivered a job that you can truly be very proud of. I would especially like to thank Karl who made numerous site visits to endure that what we wanted was being delivered, to G who would always turn up on site with a smile on his face and kept our grandson entertained with his excavator skills and to J who joint the site team at the later stages of the preparation works and added the keen eye needed for achieving the final levels that the job required. You are all part of a great team and once again thanks for delivering us a driveway that we are really pleased with.

John & Anggi C

Thanks to Mat, Karl and the team for the projects they have completed for us with the exposed aggregate driveways at Whincops Rd and Frank Earnest Place. Both these jobs were squeezed in during a very busy Xmas period with short notice and we are very grateful for the efforts that Austin Contracting put in to make it happen on time. Their response times to pricing and general queries is first class and I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone.

Craig McNab

Branch Manager / Versatile Chch
When I first used the Services of Mat and his Team or Austin Contracting it was the first time I had stepped away from one of the bigger names in the industry. Since then almost every project in their field has been awarded to them. Austin Contracting, provide a top level and professional service that is fairly priced, great quality, reliable and most importantly, all work is completed safely and competently.

Barry Morris

Project Manager / BGIS
We find the turn around on pricing requests to be done in a timely manner and they are also great to bounce ideas off when troubleshooting onsite. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the Austin Contracting team.
