Structural steel and restraint detailing for East Coast buildings — fabricated in-house at Awapuni Road.

From Hawke’s Bay north along the East Coast and NZ-wide when the job fits — McCannics delivers engineering and trades from concept to completion out of Gisborne.
About
A full-service workshop with a focus on structural steel, seismic and mechanical work, electrical, solar, hire and supplies — in-house trades under one roof since 1981.
