About Us
Our History
Founded in the late 1990s, PBS began with a focus on constructing luxury homes and quickly adapted to the unique challenges of building in the islands—remote locations, unpredictable weather, and limited access to skilled trades. To overcome these obstacles, we strategically brought key aspects of the construction process in-house, growing both organically and through acquisition. Today, PBS stands as Fiji’s largest construction company, operating from a
3,000m² facility in Suva and a newly secured 2,000m² warehouse in the west. We are also expanding with a purpose-built 4,000m² factory in Lami, set for completion in late 2025.
Our Culture
Timely delivery, reliability, and quality workmanship are central to PBS’s success, especially when working on remote, complex projects. Our team is built on a foundation of integrity, creativity, and a genuine passion for what we do. We’re committed to nurturing the growth of every team member, fostering a culture of collaboration, strong communication, and continuous development—both personally and professionally.
Our Approach
At PBS, we prioritize creating solutions that benefit our clients and partners. By combining traditional business values with innovative thinking, we ensure that every project is delivered with the highest standards of quality and client satisfaction. Our focus is on fostering strong relationships with all stakeholders, ensuring that collaboration is at the heart of every project we undertake.
Design & Build
Our work often begins long before actual construction starts. As more and more clients are discovering. Our construction insights and experience can be a tremendous benefit during a project’s planning and design phase.

In-House Solutions
Joinery Workshop
The PBS Joinery Shop is the largest single component of our Suva workshop and stands proud as a quality manufacturer of doors, windows and cabinetry – all custom made. With specifically tooled machinery and the latest computerised systems, the Joinery team is in the enviable position of being self-sufficient with respect to demands for custom profiled components. Attention to detail is expected everyday with the result being the unique finish to every job. The spray and finishes department work closely within the shop to ensure the highest quality surfaces are delivered with meticulous care.
Art Workshop
When provided with creative license, PBS is excited to include art as a form of construction to our jobs. Our carvers and sculptors share a passion for evolving traditional forms of art and melding it into contemporary style for both homes and resorts. The unmistakable South Pacific look and feel is a personalized compliment to any project. We can work ordinary timber, stone, resin and concrete into something special if allowed the freedom to showcase our flair.
Thatching Workshop
Natural thatching methods have traditionally been passed down through generations in Fiji and the traditional “Na Bure” look is extremely popular with both homes and resorts. We source our natural “soga” leaves (palm) and “magimagi” (twine) from villages providing income to families and clans on the western coast of Viti Levu. Soga is treated at the treatment plants prior to incorporating them into traditional kor modern building techniques to create the most authentic backdrop possible.
Metal Workshop
The PBS Metal Workshop, originally a marine trade specialist operation acquired with our Suva factory, has evolved into a powerhouse of metalwork capability. Retaining the skilled team and methods, we now deliver a wide range of metalwork solutions, from intricate, custom-made aluminum and stainless-steel creations to complete steel building superstructures. Our metalwork team is a cohesive group of highly qualified and experienced locals, with over a decade of collaboration, driven by their commitment to excellence and precision craftsmanship.
