About

Hi, I’m Sam, owner and operator of Forno Construction & Earthworks, a North Shore-based construction and earthmoving company.

With over 15 years’ experience in the building and construction industry, I’ve worked across a wide range of projects, from residential building and renovations through to earthworks, retaining and site preparation.

Being an owner-operated business means I’m personally involved in our projects from start to finish. This gives me greater control over the quality of our work and allows us to provide reliable service, competitive pricing and quality workmanship.

I hold my building qualifications through BCITO, am a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) and a proud member of New Zealand Certified Builders, giving our clients confidence that their project is being carried out by an experienced, trade-qualified professional.

We have our own trucks, diggers and the necessary plant and equipment to get the job done efficiently, whether it’s a small residential job or a larger construction and earthworks project.

Our aim is to provide a one-stop service for our clients, taking the hassle out of managing multiple contractors. From the initial earthworks and site preparation through to the building work and finishing stages, we can manage the project and keep things straightforward.

At Forno Construction & Earthworks, we pride ourselves on being practical, reliable and easy to deal with, while delivering quality work we’re happy to put our name to.

Building it. Digging it. Getting it done.

Sam came round very quickly, provided a clear, concise, and competitive quote in such a short time. It was really clear he knew how to do the job, what the pitfalls were. Construction is obviously someone to have confidence in and will be on my list for any future landscaping and fencing work.

Sam was great and very responsive. With communication. We didn’t proceed because our old builder was able to take the job on in the end but would def connect with Sam again for future work.
