03 HOW WE WORK
Construction is still a people business. We put experienced people close to the work and give them the information and support needed to make good decisions.
Drawings, specifications and controls matter. So does understanding how the job will actually be built, sequenced and delivered on site.
We keep management layers down. Shorter decision lines mean issues can be dealt with quickly and communication stays clear.
We take responsibility for the scope we commit to. Plan properly, communicate early and follow the work through to close-out.
People first. Delivery discipline. Lean by design.

05 OUR CAPABILITIES
Livic Civil delivers stormwater, wastewater and water infrastructure across Auckland, from renewals and upgrades through to new installations and complex underground works.
Our work includes pipelines, manholes, catchpits, deep excavation, live-service interfaces and constrained urban environments where planning, quality and communication matter.
Each job starts with what is actually in the ground, how the network needs to keep operating and who is affected by the work. We plan the sequence before plant arrives, keep the right people talking and close out with records that reflect what was built.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Got a question about civil construction, driveways, retaining walls or drainage? Here are a few things worth knowing.
Livic Civil provides earthworks, drainage and Three Waters infrastructure, structures, concrete works and civil project delivery across Auckland. Our work ranges from defined construction activities to coordinated civil packages, with planning, site engineering, quality records and handover included where agreed. Explore our civil construction capabilities to find the service that fits your project.
Yes. Livic Civil builds and replaces concrete and asphalt driveways across Auckland, including residential properties. We plan the removal of existing surfaces, ground preparation, levels, drainage and finished surface as one agreed scope. Explore concrete driveway construction in Auckland or our asphalt driveway services to compare what is included.
Asphalt is often more economical for larger driveways, but size, ground preparation, access, specification and finish all affect the quote. Asphalt suits a dark, uniform surface; concrete offers different finish options and may be competitive on smaller jobs. Read our asphalt versus concrete driveway comparison and explore our concrete and asphalt driveway services before deciding.
Yes. Livic Civil constructs residential retaining walls and larger infrastructure retaining structures across Auckland, including the North Shore. We coordinate excavation, foundations, wall construction, drainage, backfill and reinstatement around the project design. Independent structural and geotechnical design comes from appropriately qualified specialists where required. See our retaining-wall construction services for the scope and practical considerations.
Yes. Livic Civil can deliver small to medium civil construction packages for clients needing one coordinated scope, including subcontract packages for principal contractors. Depending on the agreement, we coordinate earthworks, drainage, concrete, site engineering, specialist interfaces, quality records and handover. Our civil package delivery service starts by defining responsibilities, access, approvals and exclusions.
Yes. Livic Civil undertakes stormwater renewals, drainage upgrades and new infrastructure, including pipelines, manholes, catchpits and connections. Our stormwater construction services coordinate excavation, live-service interfaces, testing and reinstatement. At Hakanoa Street, Livic delivered the non-drilled civil construction scope as a subcontractor to CDS, with Auckland Council Healthy Waters as asset owner.
Livic Civil works across Auckland, including the North Shore, North Auckland, West Auckland and Rodney, from our base in Kaukapakapa. The scope, site access and programme help determine whether a project is a good fit. Contact Livic Civil with the location, available drawings and likely timing so we can discuss your requirements.
