Jim Cavanagh
Director
Born and educated in the Waikato region, Jim comes from heartland stock. Jim moved to Auckland to work with retaining and fencing in the commercial and residential market. Jim then went on to buy the company, concentrating on the ground stabilising and retaining division.
Jim and Mike combined with Poul Christie in 2001 to form Auckland Speedfloor Contracting where they combined Poul’s experience with Jim’s quantity surveying and Mike’s project management skills to complete many projects over the years. During the world wide recession and the following disaster in Christchurch they went on to develop the seismic and concrete works division under the Idac Construction banner. This team has developed a broad spectrim of specialised concrete and seismic strengthening to suit the ever changing building market. Poul has since retired. Jim and Mike have worked together to create an infrastructure that supports staff and benefits clients whilst retaining the core principles of honesty, efficiency and pride in their work.
