THE TBT STORY

TBT. Three letters.
One family.

TBT Earthworks was built by a family, named after a family, and run by that same family more than a decade later. TBT stands for Terry, Bianca, and Trent O'Neill - a father and his two kids who worked side by side at a Christchurch demolition company before deciding to build something of their own.

Since 2012, TBT has grown from a small operation into one of Christchurch's most trusted earthmoving and civil construction businesses. Over 200 demolitions completed. A machinery fleet that handles everything from a tight residential section to a large rural subdivision.

"The name on the truck is the name of the people doing the work."

Trent was quick to send us a quote which was price competitive and he communicated every step of the way when organising a start date and time. He turned up on time and on the day, completed the works to a high standard with no issues or damage. I would use TBT again for any future work and would recommend them highly
