Hick Bros successfully delivered Stages 1A–D and 2A of the Mission Hills Subdivision in Napier, encompassing 196 lots including a retirement village. Works included over 2km of bulk watermain, 3km of internal reticulation, a low-pressure sewer network, and significant stormwater and wastewater infrastructure. The team installed a new roundabout and completed extensive concrete, roading, and utility works under live traffic conditions.

A staged construction and surfacing approach was implemented to maintain traffic flow and minimise disruption. Stakeholder engagement included letter drops and dedicated community contact, while close collaboration with Napier City Council (NCC) helped ensure smooth approvals and coordination.

Hick Bros exceeded expectations, completing both stages two months ahead of schedule without increasing client costs. Stage 1A–D was delivered $2.73M under budget. Quality assurance processes, including custom Dashpivot ITPs and NCC-supervised testing, ensured high standards. NCC praised the works as the “best overall finish they have seen.”

Strong emphasis was placed on health and safety, particularly around live traffic. Environmental compliance was maintained throughout, with proactive dust suppression and erosion controls. The project demonstrated HBCC’s capability in complex civil works, stakeholder coordination, and delivering ahead of time and under budget while maintaining high quality and safety standards.
