Resorts & Hotels
We are the South Pacific’s leading resort and hotel construction company with deep experience in resort design and construction going back to the company’s beginning two decades ago. To date, we have built over a dozen resorts in the Pacific Islands with most of them in the remote outer islands in Fiji where site access is difficult, materials and skilled labour are scarce and infrastructure virtually non-existent. We have built flash packer and backpacker resorts at the end of the market all the way up to the only “7 Star” resort in the Southern Hemisphere – Laucala Island Resort.

-
​Laucala Island Resort, FIJI
-

Each project was unique in its own way and many involved design work in addition to construction where we were responsible for delivering everything from the beginning to the end. PBS is now widely recognized as the region’s leading resort builder and on the back of the tourist boom in the South Pacific has taken on and built over $300,000,000 of resort work in the last few years. The secret to our success especially when building in the outer island is our “one-stop” approach to making sure we deliver on time, on budget and at the highest levels of quality without excuses.​
Healthcare
PBS has a strong track record in developing modern, efficient healthcare facilities across Fiji. We have built valuable partnerships with AusAID, New Zealand Aid, the Fred Hollows Foundation, the Fiji Ministry of Health and Medical Services, and community groups, laying the foundation for healthcare projects that are both compliant and forward-looking.​

​
These projects vary in size, scope and location and include design/build elements ranging from chip seal and concrete runways to arrival facilities, hangers, grooving and lighting as well as managing the licensing and approvals required by the various aviation authorities.
​
A prime example of our capabilities is the Laucala Island Airport, which we designed and built a decade ago as Fiji’s premier all-weather, day-and-night aerodrome. This project included constructing the runway, installing lighting, and developing general airport facilities. We also managed all necessary government licenses and approvals to launch flight operations.
​
More recently, in partnership with New Zealand’s Hawkins Infrastructure, we undertook the $128M Nadi Terminal Modernization Project. This involved a complete refurbishment of both the international and domestic terminals, along with significant extensions to boost the airport's capacity and enhance the overall passenger experience.
Our team of project managers, engineers, consultants, and key vendors works closely with our in-house management and logistics teams, ensuring that every airport project—regardless of size, location, or complexity—is completed on time and within budget.
Marine & Civil Projects
Our marine and civil division are specialized in civil works construction, marine civil construction, barging and marine transport and services in the South Pacific. Understanding the complexities of marine construction and transport in some of the most extreme and remote locations has evolved the division into a highly skilled and dynamic teal of marine professionals and tradesmen who have learned to manage and overcome the typical obstacles faced in these challenging environments.
These challenges inspire us to continually improve upon our unique capabilities and engaged internationally experienced professionals to provide innovative quality solutions that exceed our clients’ expectations. We have the expertise and equipment needed to provide comprehensive services in designing and constructing Wharves and Piers, Bridges, Marinas, Jetties, Breakwaters, Seawalls, Dredging Waterways and Runways.
