About Us
BUILT ON EXPERIENCE.
With 25 years’ experience in the kerbing industry, Kerbwell Limited specialises in extruded concrete kerbing across Auckland and Northland. We deliver projects across the civil, commercial, subdivision and infrastructure sectors, as well as selected private works.
Our knowledge, experience and attention to detail have been built over decades in the industry and are what set Kerbwell apart. We understand the finer details of kerb construction — knowledge that comes from years of hands-on experience, problem-solving and working across a wide range of projects and site conditions.
We take pride in delivering reliable service, quality workmanship and practical kerbing solutions tailored to the requirements of each project.
Our Story
Kerbwell has a proud history dating back to 1996, when Kerbwell Construction Limited was established in Auckland by George and Beverley Powell.
George brought decades of concrete and kerbing knowledge to the business. He began working with his family company, Powell & Sons Limited, in 1962, when kerb and channel construction was predominantly hand-boxed alongside the construction of concrete footpaths. In 1970, the company purchased its first kerb machine, becoming an early adopter of machine-extruded kerbing in the greater Wellington region.
Lance Thomson joined Kerbwell in 2000, straight from high school. Over the years, Lance developed extensive hands-on knowledge of extruded kerb construction, learning the trade through practical experience on site. His strong work ethic, technical knowledge and eye for detail saw him progress through the business, becoming Manager in 2007.
In late 2013, Lance and his wife Lisa Thomson purchased the company from the late George Powell, proudly continuing the Kerbwell name and building on the knowledge, experience and workmanship established before them.
Today, Kerbwell combines decades of industry knowledge with modern specialist kerbing machinery and an experienced team. That depth of experience allows us to understand the finer details, anticipate challenges and provide practical solutions on site.
Built on experience. Driven by quality. Proudly continuing the Kerbwell name.
