About Us

Specialist in Earthmoving, House Sites & Roading.

With over 35 years of experience in contracting and earthmoving in the Kaipara District, Shane Cullen has grown from a solo operator to managing a fleet of 35+ machines. Our team of 20 dedicated local employees has undertaken a wide range of projects, including house sites, international golf courses, large roading contracts, and subdivisions.

Our extensive range of machinery allows us to handle a variety of jobs efficiently. Due to our coastal location and the diverse soil types in the area, we’ve developed a self-reliant approach. Over the years, Shane Cullen has acquired all the necessary equipment to ensure we can complete most projects independently, without relying on outside contractors.

We pride ourselves on our expertise, reliability, and commitment to delivering high-quality results for every project.

“We have used Shane Cullen Contracting twice for house sites and recently for additional drainage and a retaining wall. They delivered excellent work within the estimated time frame and also for the estimated costs. Highly recommended!”
