A 45 YEAR FOUNDATION
NEW CONSTRUCTION | REFURBISHMENT | INTERIOR FIT-OUT
When your commercial construction project deserves the commitment of an expert contractor, Hanham & Philp Contractors is who you turn to. Since 1979, we have been collaborating with clients, architects, engineers, and project managers just like you, making sure their commercial building is the best it can be.
New construction, refurbishment, interior fit-outs: all receive the same trusted treatment. That’s why leading companies and experienced property developers ask for us by name. That’s why we are invited to join big projects at the design stage. And that’s why to stroll around Canterbury is to walk through our album of happy clients.
Is your commercial project ready for the Hanham & Philp Contractors treatment?
Hanham & Philp Receives RMBA Long Service Award for 44 Years of Excellence
On 21 March, Hanham & Philp was one of the proud recipients of a Long Service Award given by the Registered Master Builders Association. Hanham & Philp has been a member of the RMBA since 1980 and at 44 years membership this year, makes our company the longest serving commercial builder in Canterbury, an accolade we do not take lightly and are grateful for the acknowledgement by our local construction industry.

WE BELIEVE THAT YOU DESERVE OUR VERY BEST.
You may have noticed that we do business a little differently from other contractors. We’re not sorry about that.
Learn MoreOUR FOUNDATION IS ACTUALLY OUR PEOPLE
We’re proud to employ full-time tradespeople, apprentices, labourers, site managers, construction managers, quantity surveyors, office administrators – a close-knit family of around 70 people. That’s the right size to be responsive and get your job done. When we don’t have the expertise in-house we engage subcontractors, many of whom have been part of the Hanham & Philp team for many years.
Where possible we join projects early, at the design stage, to ensure that a range of construction techniques have been considered and to offer related pricing options. Our early involvement can bring the entire project to a swifter conclusion and save our clients money. Maybe that’s the reason our team enjoys repeat business opportunities?
