About PBS.
One of Fiji's largest construction groups — built since 1999 on remote-island delivery, in-house workshops, and the discipline to land every job on time.
— Our History
Founded
1999.
Michael Fairfax founded Pacific Building Solutions in 1999 as a high-end home builder for Fiji's residential market, drawing on his experience as an Australian master builder.
PBS adapted quickly to the unique challenges of building in the islands — remote locations, unpredictable weather, scarce skilled labour, complex logistics. To overcome them, we strategically brought construction in-house, growing organically and through acquisition.
Today the PBS Group is one of Fiji's largest construction companies — 1,100+ employees, a 6,000m² covered Lami workshop and yard, and 187+ projects delivered across the South Pacific.
Covered. Joinery, structural steel, prenail framing, paint booth, art, thatching, concrete batching plant, precast yard.
Employees across the PBS Group — tradesmen, engineers, project managers, joiners, metalworkers, art & thatch.
Across resorts, healthcare, airports, concrete, residential, movie sets, donor work, and small works.

— Our Culture
Reliability
is the
currency.
Timely delivery, reliability, and quality workmanship are central to PBS's success — especially on remote, complex projects. Our team is built on integrity, creativity, and a genuine passion for what we do, with continuous development at the heart of how we work together.
— Our Approach
Solutions
that save
time and money.
We combine traditional business values with innovative thinking. We use our collective experience, familiarity with materials, history of difficult and remote-island work, and our equipment capabilities to develop practical approaches that save our clients money and time.
— Design & Build
A network of
specialists.
Our work often begins long before construction starts. Where a project benefits from it, we engage our long-standing design-and-build partners — leading specialists across architecture, engineering, interiors, and landscape — to deliver as one project team.
