Focused on providing solutions

Innovation is in our DNA. Scotty Johnstone was a man ahead of his time – he was the first roading contractor in New Zealand to use cab-operated sprayers and a four axle 13,500 litre spray tanker. Fifty five years later, that legacy of creative, client-focused thinking continues at Johnstone & Masters – we’ve used this approach to build an exceptional reputation for providing solutions and specialised, tailored services for our clients.

‘Civil’ will always be our core business. But it’s not what we do, it’s how we do it – always with an ‘eye’ to how we can deliver works more effectively and more efficiently. We will always add value wherever we can.

With our extensive experience in civil construction (for both public and private infrastructure), we provide a complete range of civil contracting services in New Zealand and throughout the Pacific. Our expertise covers bitumen and asphalt road surfacing, paving, airport construction, car park construction, plant hire, personnel hire, general roadworks, and road-line marking.

Plant Hire and Personnel Hire

JML provides wet plant hire for a variety of clients and their requirements – ranging from small private jobs such as site cuts and spoil removal through to bulk and detailed excavation on subdivision, building and road sites. Our plant operators are experienced, competent, versatile and reliable. They expertly adapt to work in any environments and work safely in conjunction with other trades on site.

Subcontractors

The ability to work with the right subcontractor is a key to our ability to deliver the best service for our clients. JML specialises in identifying like-minded partners to deliver any specialist construction work required, such as kerbing, street lighting or installation of traffic control devices. Our subcontracting partners are managed in line with the JML Quality Management System to ensure full compliance with contract specifications.
