A Simple Philosophy

This proudly South Island company prefers to let the quality of its work do the talking. That, and ABL’s impressive ability to stick to a quote and get the work done on time, no matter what the challenges or technical difficulties. The company philosophy is simple: do the job right, do it safely, and always be available to the client.

ABL also takes great pride in its loyal workforce: men and women carefully chosen for their dependability, outstanding work ethic, attention to detail and unparalleled safety record.

Traditional values? Maybe.

But they are the firm foundation of ABL’s reputation for close working relationships with clients, local authorities, utilities companies, community groups, suppliers, sub-contractors, and consultants.

It’s a 'total team approach' to building projects, and one that ABL strongly encourages.

“The best projects are those in which all parties actively participate as a team, pulling together to achieve the timely and economical completion of a project,” says Queenstown-based director Karsten Pedersen. “It’s an essential part of the way we do business.”
