Plenty of contractors turn down the hard sites. D&R Works specialises in exactly those jobs — the ones with poor access, tight margins, or ground that needs careful handling.
Daniel Svilainis has spent 15+ years on Nelson-Tasman earthworks and retaining sites, and now leads a crew of 5. You deal with Daniel directly, from the first look to the last load off site — no handballing between contractors.
Retaining, civil works and cartage are all done in-house — no subcontractors, no waiting on someone else's schedule. Big enough to take on commercial-scale work, small enough that you're not just a job number.
"Turned up when they said they would and the wall's held up perfectly through winter."
"Explained everything clearly and got a tricky access site sorted with no fuss."
"Good communication start to finish, and left the site tidy every day."
