Ko Wai Tātou
Who We Are
Kāpehu is a family-owned and operated New Zealand civil and infrastructure contractor, built on a strong foundation of construction experience, service and leadership.
Our connection to the New Zealand Defence Force has helped shape the way we operate. The principles of discipline, accountability, teamwork and commitment are embedded in our approach to leadership, safety and project delivery.
Since 2018, Kāpehu has developed capability across civil construction, infrastructure, rail, drainage, geotechnical works, earthworks and asset renewal. Our experience extends across complex and live working environments where planning, communication and dependable delivery are critical.
Our strength is our people. We are a skilled and diverse team with extensive practical experience, supported by disciplined systems and a solutions-focused approach. We take pride in our mahi, the relationships we build and the standard of work we leave behind.
As Kāpehu continues to grow, our focus remains on becoming a trusted delivery partner for New Zealand’s critical infrastructure — creating lasting outcomes for our clients, our communities, our whenua and future generations.
