Large-scale Projects

Our team provides precision civil engineering and large-scale earthmoving required to develop world-class sporting assets, from high-performance stadiums to community playing fields and recreational hubs:

Waimate Event Centre – we were proud to be the Major Sponsor for this civic asset, funding the construction of a second multi-purpose indoor court to elevate the facility’s capacity without burdening local ratepayers.

Fraser Park Redevelopment – Rooneys was a driving force and key financial supporter behind the $8 million revitalisation of Timaru’s premier multi-sport stadium, Fraser Park.

Craighead Diocesan School – following the Christchurch earthquakes, our sponsorship and resources were critical in designing and building a new gymnasium and extra facilities at the school.

Educational Assets

Investing in the next generation means providing the essential infrastructure where they learn and grow. We partner with educational institutions to deliver safe, functional, and future-proofed campus developments. Our services range from site preparation for new school buildings and the installation of critical utility networks to the construction of durable play areas and carparks. We work with a focus on minimal disruption, ensuring that our local schools and early childhood centres gain the foundational infrastructure necessary to support their students’ growth.

Heritage Projects

Preserving the South Island’s history requires a delicate balance of modern engineering and respect for the past. We specialise in heritage restoration and the revitalisation of historic structures, transforming iconic landmarks into vibrant, habitable spaces once again. By combining our technical civil expertise with a commitment to regional character, we navigate the complexities of structural strengthening and site remediation. This ensures these heritage assets are not only preserved but are strategically developed to remain functional and relevant for the community’s future.

Sports Teams

Our sponsorships reflect the values that have shaped our business for generations – hard work, commitment, teamwork and community spirit which is why we are so actively involved in many of our regions sporting teams. Some of the teams we currently support include South Canterbury Rugby, Mid Canterbury Rugby, Waimate Rugby and Timaru Boys High Rugby.
