Construction and Excavation

Innovative Civil Construction Solutions

A Team Construction and Excavation was established in 2014 by James Hannon, with a desire and passion to deliver high quality, reliable and personal contracting and construction services throughout the Ashburton and wider Canterbury region, covering both urban and rural industries.

Initially starting as one man and an excavator, A Team Construction quickly grew into a trusted brand throughout the district as a diverse civil and building contractor who could deliver the complete package under one name. James, as a qualified Carpenter, mixed with his previous civil and rural contracting experienced grew the business through his own versatile approach by giving the clients what they wanted in a contractor.

With a strong team of experienced industry tradespeople and a modern plant resource at hand, A Team Construction and Excavation have the experience and industry knowledge to deliver simple or complex projects safely, efficiently and to a high standard. There capabilities are diverse and with that comes an easy to use one stop shop contractor, who can work with you to explore you needs, wants, and desires and turn them into a pole shed, driveway, deck, foundation, effluent pond or even an airplane hangar, the list and capabilities are endless, but the company principals are the same.

As the name suggests, when it comes to civil, landscaping, contracting, or building, if you want the job done right, to a high standard and quality, then you need to look no further than the A Team.

James Hannon

Director / Operator

James Emigrated to New Zealand from Galway, Ireland in 2010 to complete a harvest with Quigley contracting, which soon led to the completion of a few more seasons. Soon James realised New Zealand was the place for his future and the opportunities it presented where to great to pass up. With his knowledge, experience and skills established in Ireland and adapted in New Zealand, James spotted a gap in the market for a contracting and building business covering a wide range of clients and sectors. With that in mind A team construction and excavation was formed and they have grown from strength to strength ever since.
