Welcome to the Roading Contractor Directory,
this site has been developed to give visitors access to those contracting companies that build our highways and byways. The companies are involved in a range of roading projects from simple track formation to being responsible for the major earthworks operations, sealing, signage and other associated roading projects. Below you will find links to NZ Associations and the ITO that represent this trade sector.

The Bitumen Contractors' Association + |
The Bitumen Contractors Association was formed in
1988 because of a perceived need among road-seating contractors for attention to
specialist technical, training and safety matters.
Since then the BCA has unrelentingly pursued that original broad aim. Its members have been kept exceptionally well informed on technical matters through newsletters and regional and national forums; and it has ensured (with the help of Taranaki Polytechnic's Institute of Highway Technology) that it is the industry leader in training, including education in the safe use of bitumen. =
Moreover, the BCA has maintained an excellent rapport with industry clients such as Transit New Zealand (to the extent that the two organisations have jointly organised roading seminars) and it has kept up a constant contact and exchange of information with its opposite numbers In Australia and the United States.
By organising workshops and seminars the BCA was able to ensure that all its members met the quality-assurance requirements that became mandatory in mid-1995 for all Transit-funded state highway surfacing contracts.
The BCA has also been working with Transit on moving away from prescriptive to performance-based specifications for the application of chip seal, hotmix asphalt and slurry seal.
Performance-based specs represent a major shift from the contractor merely doing the job on time and taking the money. They entail the roles and responsibilities of the parties to a contract being clearly defined and the contractor becoming more accountable - and more involved in all phases of the work, including the design process, supervision, self-imposed quality control, and end-product quality assurance.
Because of this transfer of risk from the client to the contractor, the BCA is reviewing the activities, aims and objectives that have stood it in such good stead for the first seven years of its existence.
It says performance-based /end-result type specifications will create an entirely new environment for the industry, and in order to meet this challenge it needs to determine its future role.
The BCA, an incorporated organisation with its own director, operates from the Contractors' Federation national office in Wellington, avails itself of the federation's secretarial and administrative services, and practically all its members also belong to the federation.
