The industrial arm of Chris Bell Construction has grown considerably over the past 10 years. We are fortunate to have a team of skilled and knowledgeable staff with the right qualifications to support this specialist area of work. Being ISN certified to ensure regulatory compliance enables us to enjoy preferred contractor status with large companies in the energy sector, food and bulk storage facilities and manufacturing industries.


We have a wealth of experience with technically challenging builds and are particularly proud of the work we have done within the industrial construction sector working, designing, implementing, building and constructing IL4* rated buildings. These challenging projects often involve high levels of risk which our builders and project managers meet with technical proficiency and accuracy. We have worked on telecommunications towers, power substations, plants, warehouses and hospitals, both here in Taranaki and across the lower North Island.

With a highly skilled and driven team armed with the latest technology and specialist equipment and machinery, we thrive on the technically challenging nature of the projects that we undertake in the industrial construction sector. 

The IL rating system is designed to measure the potential risk to people and environment should a building or part of it fail. IL4 – Buildings that are essential to post-disaster recovery or associated with hazardous facilities.
