PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE |
Ensuring the safety of our people, subcontractors, and the public is our highest priority. We are always looking for ways to improve our safety performance and are committed to ensuring the highest safety standards for everyone connected with our activities.
STREETSCAPES
We build vibrant spaces for Kiwi communities to enjoy. Our brand is behind the construction, restoration and transformation of some of New Zealand’s most-loved spaces – Silo Park, Aotea Square, Auckland War Memorial Museum, Christchurch’s Bridge of Remembrance and the Margaret Mahy playground to name a few.
Many prominent urban spaces have come to fruition because of our strong focus on design quality, teamwork and dedication to stakeholder management.
CLOSE
Leading from the front
Strong leadership is essential to driving a culture that has safety at its core. Our senior management team leads safety from the front, reviewing performance at our weekly safety committee meetings and holding weekly safety briefings with site managers and supervisors.
MAINTENANCE & RENEWALS
We’re improving the world we live in by creating better walking and cycling connections and recreational spaces for everyone to enjoy.
PARKS & RESERVES
Over the years we have cultivated strong working relationships within the turf and playground supply chain across New Zealand, giving us the tools to deliver complete parks projects, field renewals, playgrounds, sport facilities and even skate parks.
FOOTPATHS & CYCLEWAYS
Having built many of Auckland’s footpaths and cycleways, we have a deep understanding of the key issues and challenges, and recognise the importance of working closely with utility providers and stakeholders.
ROADING & CARPARKS
We have a full fleet of plant and equipment and the in-house capability to complete all aspects of roading development and renewals.
Our teams are equipped with the latest technology, and are trained to tight quality control standards ensuring that we always meet the expectations of our customers.
Ownership at all levels
This approach cascades throughout our workforce during personnel and project safety inductions and daily tool box meetings. We make it our mission to ensure all staff are actively engaged in health and safety practices and are reaching and owning expectations.
TRANSPORT
JFC is proud to have achieved New Zealand Transport Agency’s highest possible rating of Five Stars, certifying our reliable service, high standards and level of integrity.
Our fleet of vehicles, plant and machinery is continually updated to ensure modernity, efficiency and safety. This is further strengthened by our team of qualified operators and the use of GPS in all of our vehicles.

Our full range of modern earth moving plant and equipment can meet all your project requirements.
Strong systems and training
We have invested in a dedicated team of health and safety professionals to ensure our culture, systems and procedures are capable of meeting the challenges of modern contracting. From inception to on site delivery, our systems comply with all current legislation and standards. We equip our employees with the training and skills to confidently undertake their work.
Home safe everyday
Training programmes are driven by our H&S objectives, and identification and management of workplace hazards remains a responsibility placed on all members of our staff. Our excellent safety record is testament to JFC’s commitment to ensuring our staff return home safely to their families every single day.
LAND DEVELOPMENT
Our full fleet of earthworks machinery and trucks provides our teams with the means to undertake large scale earthworks on a regular basis.
We have extensive experience in conducting site clearance in urban environments, large cut to waste, cut to fill landscaping projects, management of contaminated waste and the ability to recycle construction waste.
INFRASTRUCTURE
We’re helping make New Zealand a better place for everyone. Since 1968 we’ve been enhancing and improving New Zealand’s water, wastewater and stormwater networks, building better transport connections and helping our economy grow.
PIPELINES
We offer capability in all aspects of pipeline construction, trenching and dewatering for wastewater, stormwater and potable water projects. With experience in both greenfield and brownfield developments, our teams work with water authorities and local government to meet the challenges presented by asset life cycle management.
Our qualified teams understand the stringent health and safety and environmental requirements associated with wastewater and stormwater projects, and have proven systems to manage these.
ROADING
With a full fleet of plant and equipment, we can manage civil projects of any scale throughout New Zealand. We have experience and capability across all aspects of surface construction from urban and rural roads to highways.
SUSTAINABILITY
Reducing our environmental footprint is not just an obligation at JFC, it is our responsibility
CARBON EMISSIONS PROGRAMME
We have committed to a carbon emissions reduction programme with a target to be carbon neutral by 2025./p>
CONGESTION MINIMISATION STRATEGY
With our own fleet of plant, we have total control of the level of efficiency and environmental performance. We operate a congestion minimisation strategy to reduce the number of trips made and the time trucks spend on the road. This strategy involves:
- Ensuring all trucks carry a full load in both directions.
- Storing materials in our compound, to minimise truck movements and keep trucks off the road at peak traffic times.
- Mixing concrete on site to reduce truck movements — minimizing disruption to traffic and reducing noise and dust.
- Tailoring each vehicle to its work task and location, for example selecting smaller trucks for constrained urban locations.
WASTE MANAGEMENT & RECYCLING
- We recycle 130,000m3 of excavated concrete material annually, available for use on footpath and streetscape projects.
- We recycle 90,000m3 of clean clay fill annually into land development projects.
- Minimising waste and recycling materials from project conception to completion.
WATER QUALITY
- Excavating with air vacuums in Christchurch has eliminated the need for hydro-vac technology, and the associated water contamination. Excavation with air vacuums is safer, cleaner and faster than conventional methods.
- We are the first contractor in New Zealand to utilise this technology, and this technology will be available in Auckland from 2018.
BEING GOOD NEIGHBOURS
- Minimising disruption to neighbours through use of acoustic cutting booths, acoustic sound barriers for demolition, noise mitigation barriers and sound deadening mats.
- We continually monitor our noise and vibration levels to ensure we comply with agreed levels.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
True sustainability is about much more than just minimising our construction footprint, it’s about making a better, cleaner New Zealand for everyone. We’re committed to supporting and developing the communities in which we operate, through creation of employment opportunities and helping the next generation to learn and succeed.
