Andene, formally known as Contract Earthmoving began in 1999 when Andrew and Janene Cave launched a fencing business in Opotiki.

Over 26 years, we have evolved into a leading civil contracting company, now operating from Woodville in the Taratua District making us within easy reach of the Manawatu-Whanganui, Wairarapa and Hawkes Bay Regions.

Serving councils, farmers, and power companies throughout the North Island, our specialists provide tailored project solutions.

To deliver reliable, cost-effective services while upholding safety and environmental standards drives us forward.

Our aim is to build solid partnerships through on-time quality outcomes in the projects we undertake.

Careful planning preserves land and waterways across all project phases.

Tōtika certification at 75% reflects our commitment to protecting our team, clients, and sites.

With our precise project execution and enduring value, we outperform temporary fixes.

Ongoing training keeps our team highly competent and certified..

Our leadership team, headed by Andrew Cave, brings extensive expertise in civil contracting, fencing, and power distribution. Holding credentials like a Controlled Substance Licence (CSL), STMS, and National Certificates in Fencing and Bulk Earthmoving, they ensure operational excellence. Their strategic oversight guides seamless project completion.

Operating a modern fleet — including excavators, tippers, and special trailers — we maintain equipment rigorously to avoid delays and uphold safety. The advanced machinery we use supports efficient, high-standard project delivery.

Starting as a family business, we’ve grown by focusing on client needs and adapting to industry demands. Today, we’re trusted for road repairs, farm projects, power network upgrades, and more. Our history of problem-solving, such as post-storm recoveries with Tararua Alliance, shows our capability. Andene stands for pragmatic solutions and lasting business partnerships.
