Our story
A Legacy Built
in Concrete
IPave Concrete began as a single crew with a single slip-form machine and a commitment to doing the job right. Founded by Daryl McLachlan, who started his civil career at just 16. The company was built on the values of precision, pride, and genuine accountability.
Today, IPave Concrete operates a modern fleet of slip-form extrusion machines and a team of experienced civil specialists, led by industry veteran Ieni Hespi who brings over 20 years of kerbing expertise across New Zealand and Australia. We oversee major infrastructure projects throughout the Auckland and Waikato regions, ensuring every yard we pour meets regional standards.
We’re not a large anonymous contractor. We’re a specialist team where the people quoting your project are the same people building it and they take that personally.

What drives us
Our Values
Every decision we make on site, from profile selection to pour timing, comes back to these principles.
Compliance First
Every yard of kerb we pour meets Auckland Transport and Council standards. We don't cut corners, ensuring zero-fault compliance.
On Time, Every Time
In construction, progress delays cost money. We manage our schedule to your timeline, ensuring our crews are on-site precisely when needed.
Accountability
We stand behind our work. If something isn't right, we fix it—no excuses, no delays. Our reputation is built one kerb at a time.
Technical Excellence
Kerbing is a precision craft. We invest in modern equipment and training because the quality of the finish matters.
