Property & Construction | Able Mason Concrete
Laying down the foundations A successful business needs the most robust and reliable of foundations – practically infallible by nature; or at least, certainly strong enough to survive the test of time. Able Mason Concrete not only specialises in foundations of this strength, it is built on them - in a metaphorical sense. Established in 2011, the strength of this small, but successful New Zealand business owes to the skills and dedication of the two concrete and construction experts spearheading Able Mason Concrete – Tony Graham and Gary Bouzaid.
A solid service Concrete is material that is indispensable to our physical world. Look left, look right, look up or look down, and you can’t dispute the fact that concrete is an integral and fundamental part of our bricks and mortar world.
Much to the excitement of its enthusiastic and dedicated staff, the business had its claim to fame and stars in its eyes when it sprayed and pumped all the concrete works to help create the sets for iconic film, The Hobbit. “I have had a long history of diverse jobs,” Tony confirms. “I brought 18 years of extensive experience in concrete pumping and spraying to the business.

A market leader
“My business partner Gary had 25 years of block-laying experience and had a very strong reputation in the construction industry. We came together to form Able Mason Concrete in March 2011 and we are both very hands on in the business.”
It is this very commitment that earned the business recognition in the 2013 Wellington Gold Awards. Able Mason Concrete was one of just six finalists in the emerging business category and is the only constructionorientated firm to make it into this category.
The business is not only based on rock-solid expertise, it is also committed to a strong professional ethic of accountability. “This work is our passion and our reputation is incredibly important to us – we are very committed to completing a job to the highest standard,” Tony explains.
“We are absolutely blown away by this achievement and this success really owes to the incredible team effort and hard work of everyone in the business. We are incredibly proud to be one of only a few finalists.”

Able Mason Concrete has a cornerstone philosophy that no job is too big or too small and its diverse project portfolio is testament to that fact. The company has been involved in many high profile construction projects in the Wellington region.
