The motto Peter Hansen Drainage lives by

Our team is our greatest resource and as a team, we focus our effort on working together and developing each individual to make the team stronger. ”

The hardworking team has endured many enjoyable moments in their job. Rob describes working with the team and clients as a highlight, as well as working in a beautiful location. There’s an endless amount of views from their building sites that capture mountains, lakes, rivers, and vast valleys spread across the region, which is pretty special. “We know our clients will continue to enjoy the amazing views from their new home,” Rob adds. RAD has a very tight-knit, close team. They consider themselves to also appreciate their trade partners who are important in the build process, as the trade partners help continue to navigate their way through the current challenges with resource availability. “We enjoy building not only great homes but also building our team and developing great carpenters. We’ve got a great culture and set of values. RAD is growing as a company and is always looking for more team members to join us. The unique environment of the Mackenzie is challenging, yet rewarding to work in. The hot summers, cold winters, wind, and snow create extremes that buildings need to withstand. We take pride in creating buildings that can endure the Mackenzie conditions.” CT

Peter Hansen has been in the drainage industry for over 20 years. When Peter’s father unexpectedly passed away, Peter rose to the challenge and took over his father’s business. Learning a lot from the experience, Peter eventually stepped away from his father’s business to start Peter Hansen Drainage.

Leaning on his wealth of experience, Peter Hansen Drainage director, Peter Hansen recalls an instance where one of his clients needed him to upgrade a septic tank prematurely due to the faulty work of the previous installer. Peter says, “That probably cost them about $8000. That shouldn’t have really happened for another 20 years.” According to Peter, most installation issues are the result of installers taking shortcuts. “We stick to the building code strictly with what we do and how we do it. “We just like to do it once and do it right and leave our customers with a system that’s going to last them a long time,” Peter says. Clients are often pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to work with the company. Client satisfaction is a source of pride for Peter as he says, “Our clients say to us, ‘you’re the only contractor that showed up when you said you would’. We take a lot of pride around that. Also, doing a quality job.” Doing everything from design to installation, Peter Hansen Drainage can meet all of your residential and rural drainage needs. In fact, Peter does all of the designs himself so that systems are cost effective, practical and reliable. Peter’s design services are particularly desirable when it comes to applying for resource consents through ECAN. Many people do not realise how important it is to complete the septic tank system as early in the building process. Without the design, the local council will not process the building consent. The design of the septic tank systems can take a month or two depending if a resource consent is required specific to the site. When Peter Hansen Drainage does the design and install, the designs are done at a reduced rate. Along with the reduced rate, clients also enjoy working with one person for the whole project as opposed to three or four contractors and suppliers. “Some people will go to an engineer to design their septic tank and effluent and then they’ll go to a tank supplier, and then they’ll use an installer, and then they’ll need a drainlayer. Whereas we just do everything. People like the convenience.” Peter Hansen Drainage does work throughout Canterbury and will travel anywhere its clients are.
