Property & Construction | Lanyon & Le Compte Construction
Complete building solutions Lanyon and Le Compte Construction Limited is an industry leader in the design and build of architecturally designed homes, apartments and commercial premises.
One area the company does specialise in is high strength concrete construction. The Christchurch company was formed in 1990 by directors Mark Lanyon and Shane Le Compte, who offer a full design and build process for all types of construction, from standard timber frame to Thermomass concrete homes and buildings.
Thermomass panels Lanyon and Le Compte has targeted the Thermomass market due to its belief in the strength and efficiency of concrete construction. Thermomass manufactures a full line of concrete insulation systems for use in plant precast, tilt-up, and cast-in-place projects. Panels offer high durability and insulation properties and are able to be constructed off site to ensure a high-quality finish and faster construction.

Lanyon and Le Compte has utilised precast concrete construction in a number of high-quality apartment blocks built throughout Christchurch. It is currently rebuilding the Latimer Hotel in the central city, which is one of the largest commercial jobs on at present. Lanyon and Le Compte employs a committed team of carpenters and apprentices to complete any building project which presents itself, from entry level homes to architecturally designed homes, tilt-up factories and warehouses and modern apartment blocks, swimming pools and landscaping precast panels, fencing and retaining walls.
Enhanced crane capacity The recent purchase of three new mobile cranes has given Lanyon and Le Compte greater capabilities and flexibility. Shane Le Compte says the company has purchased two new 50-tonne cranes and a new 130-tonne crane. “The new cranes have added quite a bit of scope. On our commercial side we produce precast panels offsite and we come in and do the foundations and place the panels,” he says. “We’ve done crane work before but we were reasonably limited by our older 40 and 45-tonne cranes. The new 130-tonne machine is going to make a big difference to our capabilities.”
