ALEXANDER CONSTRUCTION

Founded in Napier by Ralph Alexander in 1947, Alexander Construction is a company built on strong values and a tradition of quality, honesty, integrity and hard work. In 1949, Ralph was joined by younger brother Cedric, and trading as RG & C Alexander the two would play a significant role in the region’s housing development, commercial and industrial construction for the next 50 years.

Mark Hamilton, Managing Director of Alexander Construction Limited talks about the company, its values, their client focus and some key projects.

The company logged its 10,000th project in August 2012.  Projects ranged in size over the years, from very small (less than $100) to large ($22,600,000).

You will find a small selection of these projects profiled on at www.alexanderconstruction.co.nz

In 2003 the business was restructured into Alexander Construction Company Limited with Mark Hamilton at the helm.

Six key employees became shareholders of the business in 2009, enhancing the company’s depth of understanding and self-awareness across all areas of its operations.

Today, the fundamental values instilled by Ralph and Cedric still form the basis of a strong culture which extends to our staff, subcontractors, consultants and clients and instilled in all our operating divisions.
