Our History

KB’s was born in 1972 by Kevin Blair and his wife Judy, alongside them a couple of workers and 1 truck that used to park outside their house. From here and with a lot of hard graft the company gradually grew to what it is today and has since been involved in a variety of civil infrastructure projects throughout the South Island, including many CCC projects and subdivision developments. For the past 20 years Kevin’s sons Mike and Dave have taken over the day to day management of the business, with Kevin still being a major stakeholder in guiding the direction of the company.
