Civil Construction / CAPABILITY

Civil Contractor Auckland.

Earthworks, drainage, structures and pavements for Auckland infrastructure, commercial sites and residential properties.

Let's talk about your project

THE CIVIL SCOPE

Practical delivery. Connected disciplines.

Livic Civil is an Auckland civil construction contractor based in Kaukapakapa. We deliver defined construction activities and complete civil packages for principal contractors, commercial clients and homeowners.

The starting point is the work you need done: the drawings, ground conditions, access, existing services and handover requirements. We agree the scope and responsibilities before bringing the plant and people to site.

Infrastructure & civil packages
Earthworks & drainage
Structures & retaining walls
Driveways & pavements

Civil work we can take on

A project may need one discipline or several working together. Our team can deliver the civil construction scope and coordinate the specialist interfaces included in the agreement.

  • Three Waters: stormwater, wastewater and water infrastructure, including pipework, manholes, catchpits and connections.
  • Earthworks: bulk earthworks, detailed excavation, formation and site preparation.
  • Structures: reinforced concrete, foundations, retaining walls and bridge civil works.
  • Concrete and pavements: driveways, accessways, footpaths and associated reinstatement.
  • Civil package delivery: programme, construction, specialist interfaces, quality records and handover within an agreed scope.

A contractor for your type of project

For principal contractors, we can deliver a defined subcontract package with clear boundaries between our work and the wider project. We establish who manages design queries, approvals, temporary works and interfaces before construction.

For commercial sites and developments, we consider the earthworks, drainage, structures and pavement work together. Staging may need to maintain vehicle access, deliveries or neighbouring operations.

For homeowners, we build and replace concrete driveways, asphalt driveways and retaining walls. Send us the site details so we can discuss whether the work is a good fit.

Project evidence from Auckland

Our project pages explain the scope Livic Civil delivered, with construction photographs and project-specific details.

  • Hakanoa Street stormwater renewal: Livic Civil delivered the non-drilled civil construction scope as a subcontractor to CDS. The work included pipelines, manholes, catchpits and excavation in a constrained urban street, with Auckland Council Healthy Waters as asset owner.
  • Army Bay Three Waters: replacement of two tanks with associated removal, pipework, overflow connections and reinstatement in restricted access.
  • Beach Haven driveway reconstruction: removal and reconstruction of approximately 60 m² of residential driveway, including ground preparation, basecourse and exposed-aggregate concrete.

Planning around Auckland site conditions

An established street, sloping section or occupied property can dictate how a job is built. Before pricing, we review access for plant and deliveries, working space, service information, ground levels and the areas that need to remain usable.

During planning, we identify the requirements for excavation support, groundwater management, spoil removal, drainage and reinstatement. The method needs to suit the actual site and the design.

Livic Civil delivers construction and practical buildability input. Independent structural and geotechnical design is provided by appropriately qualified specialists where required. Design, consent and inspection responsibilities need to be agreed as part of the scope.

From enquiry to construction and handover

Our guide to what a civil package includes explains the questions worth asking when comparing scopes. You can also read about our construction approach and people.

  • Define the work: review the location, scope, drawings, access and intended programme. Arrange a site visit where needed.
  • Agree the price and responsibilities: identify inclusions, exclusions, allowances, approvals and interfaces with other trades or asset owners.
  • Plan and build: sequence excavation, deliveries, construction and reinstatement around the agreed requirements, with inspection points identified.
  • Close out the scope: provide the agreed quality records, test information and as-built documentation, and address outstanding items.

Working across Auckland

From our Kaukapakapa base, Livic Civil works across Auckland, including Rodney, the Hibiscus Coast, North Shore and West Auckland. Our published projects include work at Hakanoa Street, Army Bay and Beach Haven.

Tell us the site address and likely timing. The scope, access, programme and available resources help us determine how we can assist.

  • Site address, a short description of the work and your contact details.

  • Photographs, approximate quantities and any restrictions on plant or vehicle access.
  • Required dates, consent status and the responsibilities you want included.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Good questions.

What does a civil contractor do?

A civil contractor carries out construction such as earthworks, drainage, foundations, retaining structures and pavements. The agreed scope determines which activities, specialist interfaces and handover records are included.

Can Livic Civil work as a subcontractor?

Yes. Livic Civil can deliver defined civil subcontract packages for principal contractors. At Hakanoa Street, Livic Civil delivered the non-drilled civil scope as a subcontractor to CDS. Responsibilities and interfaces are agreed for each contract.

Do you also take on residential work?

Yes. Alongside infrastructure and commercial civil work, Livic Civil builds concrete and asphalt driveways and residential retaining walls. Share the location, photographs and intended scope so we can discuss the work.

How much does civil construction cost?

The price depends on quantities, ground conditions, access, disposal, drainage, structural requirements and the programme. Send the available plans and site information so Livic Civil can review the scope and identify what is needed for pricing.
