CETS Ltd director Christo Brits knew he wanted to build things since he told his parents at 6-7 years old that he wanted to build bridges when he grew up. After high school, he studied Civil Engineering. Christo thought he had realised that dream after high school, working for a construction firm specialising in bridge construction. After 15 years, he still had not built a single bridge… but he did do projects on mines, factories/ big industrial projects and in remote locations. Far bigger and more complex structures than bridge construction, no bridges. On arriving in New Zealand from South Africa, and after doing some projects on design and construction and safety improvement, Christo realised there are major problems in the civil construction industry common to both countries: • A gap between the expectations of design engineers for quick turn arounds and the capabilities construction contractors, given the lack of engaging contractors during early planning; • Difficulty finding skilled construction teams due to the growth of the industry who can finish jobs on time to a high standard of quality. This results in time and budget blowouts during the construction phase. Upon this realisation, CETS Ltd was born. The mission of CETS is to become New Zealand’s Civil Engineering market-leader, by “bridging” this gap between engineers and contractors with teamwork from early in the design phase. This collaboration on design and construction; as well as education of staff and clients and innovation helps CETS Ltd get the job done right and on budget for clients. CETS have the hands-on experience and knowledge to look at each project holistically, giving them the ability to find constructible solutions to complex problems. They empower staff by developing them to perform and deliver to the highest Safety and Quality standards. CETS Ltd aims to set the industry benchmark on delivering what they promise and to never compromise on quality.
