We deliver complex and technically-challenging projects that address present and future community, environmental, and social outcomes.
Over thirty years ago, a seed was planted. From a small group of five friends in stubbies pouring foundations in the ‘90s, Dempsey Wood has expanded into a team of over 500 highly skilled professionals.
Today, we are a fast-growing, thriving ecosystem of our people, our machinery, and our expertise, capable of managing every stage of your project’s lifecycle.
At Dempsey Wood, our mission is to build resilient communities and cultivate the growth of our cities. Equipped with our own machinery, and capability to handle every project phase, we work together to create the bigger picture; for tomorrow. We’re here to tackle the challenges that face our community, our environment, and our cities, in order to create a sustainable future for us all. And because we’re entirely self-sufficient, we move quickly.
Every day, whatever we do, we are cultivating the foundations and the infrastructure for the growing Auckland, Wellington, Waikato and Northland regions, as well as our future communities.
From Whangārei to Morrinsville, Dempsey Wood is finding innovative ways to help our private and public sector clients to meet deadlines in a cost-effective, safe and practical way.
You’ll see us out there; we’re families just like yours. We’re at the Sunday sports games, we’re supporting the local clubs, we’re sitting next to you in the marae, we’re hosting public family events so the kids can get up close and see the diggers too.
And after a long day’s work, you’ll see us on the drive home; ready to head out there and do it all again tomorrow.
Founded by Conal Dempsey, today he continues to serve on the Board, and has handed over the reins to Simon Lunjevich (Operations Director) and Michael Lunjevich (Commercial Director).
We Build Resilient Communities
Our mission is to build resilient communities that stand the test of time. We truly care about the communities we serve. Every day as part of Dempsey Wood, we’re working hard to keep you safe and to grow, develop, and nurture the places in which we all live, work, and play.
We’re Your Partners in Progress
We have an ethos of never sitting idle, of always nurturing development, and never stepping away from a challenge. We aren’t afraid to get in the weeds, to try something new, to see what we can build with you. Our 30-year track record stands as testament to our growth mindset, and our commitment to each other, our clients, and their successes.
You’re a Part of the Whānau
As a 100% family-owned New Zealand business, we’ve always maintained strong family values despite our growth. Our whānau is a tight-knit network of diverse individuals; and once you’re a part of it you’ll always be a part of it.
A Culture of Care
Everything we do is rooted in a culture of care. This ensures that our company structure is built on integrity and genuine relationships. When you work with us, you’ll always engage directly with our directors who are personally involved in every project. Your project’s success is our success, and going the extra mile is simply part of who we are.
