ABL Queenstown
In 1985 when ABL first opened its doors in Queenstown, it won one of the most significant contracts at the time, the base building at The Remarkables ski area for the Mount Cook Group.
Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, the company’s business expanded steadily, and with each new project so too did ABL’s reputation for quality workmanship. Today it stands amongst the leading contractors in the Southern Lakes/Central Otago region.
We’ve completed many high-profile jobs over the years – notably the multi-award-winning landmark Sofitel Hotel complex, the Queenstown Events Centre and Millennium Hotel. ABL’s shown over the years that it’s perfectly positioned to meet any medium to large-scale residential or commercial project in the region.
As the leading construction company in Queenstown, we have a proven track record of success. Our team of highly skilled builders and tradespeople has the expertise to handle medium to large-scale residential and commercial projects. We take pride in our ability to deliver projects on time and within budget, no matter how complex the project.
As a proudly South Island-owned and operated construction business, our heritage stems from a commitment to building long-lasting relationships with our clients based on trust and mutual respect. We promise to deliver on every job in a cost-effective, timely manner, whatever challenges come our way, and we always work as a team to ensure the end result meets everyone’s expectations.
Choose ABL for your next construction project in Queenstown. With our commitment to quality workmanship, excellent customer service, and competitive pricing, we're the ideal partner for your project. Contact us today to discuss your project and let us help you bring your vision to life.
