BM Contracting team lineup

About BM Contracting

A highly skilled Canterbury drainage and civil contracting team committed to quality, safety and delivering results.

Built on Experience, Driven by Quality

BM Contracting Ltd was founded in June 2015 with a clear vision — to provide Canterbury with a drainage and civil contracting company that puts quality workmanship and client service above everything else.

Over the past decade, we've grown from a small team to one of Canterbury's most respected drainage contractors, with 13 skilled staff including some of the most qualified drainlayers in the region. Our team includes 4 certified drainlayers, 4 registered drainlayers and 2 apprentices — a depth of qualification rarely seen in our industry.

We're proud to be Christchurch City Council approved contractors and recognised specialists in E-One pressure wastewater systems and ground dewatering.

Meet Our Leadership

The people behind BM Contracting — passionate about drainage, committed to quality.

Ben McConochie - Director

Ben McConochie

Director

Ben began his plumbing and drainlaying apprenticeship in 2005 and went on to found BM Contracting in 2015. With over 20 years in the construction industry, he brings a breadth of knowledge that few can match — from diagnosing a leaky tap to delivering multimillion-dollar land development projects.

Ben's drive is simple: find a better, smarter, more efficient way of doing things. Whether it's a straightforward residential drainage job or a complex civil project, he's the person you want in your corner — available to provide practical advice on design and planning to make sure you get the best possible outcome every time.

When he's not running jobs, Ben's happiest with something loud and fast — from car racing to motocross, if it's got wheels and an engine, he's in. He's also kept plenty busy at home with his wife and two young sons, Cooper and Lawson.
