Chris Bell Construction and Project Management Ltd
Construction
About us
CBC is a progressive and innovative company, primarily serving Taranaki.
The team at Chris Bell Construction comprises 35 staff and counting. We are skilled Master Builders, apprentices, project managers, quantity surveyor and admin staff, passionate about our jobs and sharing in the collective goal to deliver the highest quality builds to our clients regardless of scale or budget.
The Chris Bell Construction team oversees and manages the building process in its entirety. Our unique approach to this process unfolds a little differently to what is conventionally accepted. Our clients meet with us, sharing their ideas and dreams for their projects. We then liaise with the most appropriate person for any specific project – architect, draftsperson or engineer depending on the scope of the build. Armed with a deep understanding of the industry, this builder-led approach allows us to drive the entire build process and employ the most appropriate solutions to best meet the unique needs of every project. This method is more time and cost efficient and allows us to work in a transparent manner, getting the best out of our project teams in order to deliver builds of superior quality within the time and budgetary constraints of every build.
Services
Residential - New homes & renovations
Whether you're focussed on simple renovations or are undertaking a technically challenging new build, all types of projects are equally important to us, and we give our all, every time. We are driven by a strong desire to turn our clients dreams into renovations and builds of the highest quality. We achieve this through our collaborative approach and company wide drive to achieve excellence in everything that we do.
Our Master Builders, apprentices, project managers and everyone who supports them are constantly adapting to incorporate the latest best-practices and technologies, from the project management tools that we use to support efficacy and transparency in our work to the latest high-tech cladding systems. We are constantly up-skilling and researching to ensure we are up to date with the latest developments in building materials and technologies, products and tools, styles and trends.
With experience in all areas of residential builds – turn-key house packages, architectural builds, renovations and alterations of older homes – our team of accomplished builders and project managers expertly guide our clients through the design and building process from start to finish. Every build is unique, bespoke to the individual requirements of each client, no two design processes or project detailing will ever be the same. At Chris Bell Construction we thrive on the challenges that every new project presents and take great pride in realising our clients’ dreams.
Commercial
Whilst here at Chris Bell Construction we are well known for our high end residential builds, we have steadily been accumulating a strong commercial portfolio since our conception 15 years ago.
As with our residential projects, our commercial work is hugely varied. We are proud to maintain and upkeep 29 fire stations here in Taranaki and across the Central Plateau. We have been involved in specialist work in hospitals where unique challenges arise working within operating theatres and building to adhere to infection control regulations. Acquisition of plant and specialist machinery such as a crane, scissor lifts and a digger among other equipment, ensures that we are equipped to tackle more complex and technically challenging builds such as hotels, apartments complexes and office blocks.

We are fortunate to have a team of skilled and knowledgeable staff with the right qualifications to support this specialist area of work. Being ISN certified to ensure regulatory compliance enables us to enjoy preferred contractor status with large companies in the energy sector, food and bulk storage facilities and manufacturing industries.
We have a wealth of experience with technically challenging builds and are particularly proud of the work we have done within the industrial construction sector working, designing, implementing, building and constructing IL4* rated buildings. These challenging projects often involve high levels of risk which our builders and project managers meet with technical proficiency and accuracy. We have worked on telecommunications towers, power substations, plants, warehouses and hospitals, both here in Taranaki and across the lower North Island.
With a highly skilled and driven team armed with the latest technology and specialist equipment and machinery, we thrive on the technically challenging nature of the projects that we undertake in the industrial construction sector.
