History

Pacific Building Solutions (PBS) began constructing luxury homes in Fiji in 1991. We quickly learned that building in the islands presented some unique challenges mostly related to difficult and remote building sites, unpredictable weather patterns and the lack of suitably skilled and experienced tradesmen. In addition, finding and working with reliable subcontractors who understood and could meet the work quality expectations of our high-end home owners was also a major challenge.

Through trial and error we decided that the only real solution to these problems was to take control of as much of the building process as possible by bringing it in-house and opening up a "one-stop" construction shop. To this end, we acquired a large workshop in Suva, Fiji's capital city, where we took control of our own destiny and could more efficiently meet the demands of our clients.

Solving problems in this way resulted in us being unexpectedly inundated with work from resorts in and around Fiji because they too faced many of the same challenges experienced by our luxury home owners. As a natural consequence, and on the back of a tourism boom, PBS quickly became the South Pacific’s leading resort builder having taken on and built over $100,000,000 worth of resort work in the last three years alone.

Today

Today, the company boasts a 3,000m2 covered workshop and office space in Suva which serves as the company's headquarters. At this location, PBS employs approximately 150 tradesmen and administrative personnel to support another 1,100 employees in the field.

Our facility in Suva houses the company's:

• Metal work shop
• Timber machining bay
• Joinery Workshop
• Art department
• Spray and finishes booth
• Thatch treatment plant
• Pre-nail shop with computerized timber wall frame & truss machinery.

One of the keys to our rapid growth and quality construction is this horizontally integrated approach to building provided by our Suva workshop. It is here where we are able to precut, fabricate, assemble and finish many of the components that go into building a luxury home, resort or other building project including roof trusses, floors, doors, windows and cabinetry.

Our goal is to provide quality controlled materials prepared in a predictable environment to a local or remote job site in the most efficient manner possible. The pay off comes in the form of time savings, less waste, lower costs including freight and higher quality end products, all resulting in a more pleasant building experience for us and our clients.
