How Attach2 Transforms BR Contracting's Landscaping Project
In the heart of the Kapiti Coast District, Brendan Riepen, founder of BR Contracting, is reshaping landscaping and earthworks with a passion for quality and years of expertise in drainage and civil works. Established in August 2021, BR Contracting was born from Brendan's determination to deliver exceptional earthmoving and landscaping services to the region. Recognising the growing demand for top-notch landscaping services, Brendan saw an opportunity to provide unparalleled quality and was determined to seize it.
In our recent interview, Brendan sets the scene amid a bustling landscaping project in Waikanae. "We're here in Waikanae, tackling a comprehensive landscaping project from start to finish," he remarks as he stands amidst a tiered landscape on the property. "It was a blank canvas of a property," he continues, gesturing to the expansive surroundings. "We've got a pool going up there, informal lawn here, orchard down there, and all kinds of paving going up around the house there. So it's a complete landscaping package we're doing here." Reflecting on the evolution of his business, Brendan explains. "So it's been me for the last three years and I've just taken on another contractor to help share the workload and share some of the responsibilities within the business of driving machinery and trucks and keep the ball rolling on site."
Brendan's passion for earthmoving and landscaping traces back to his early childhood when he grew up near a major roading project, which allowed him to admire various heavy machinery equipment in action right from his doorstep. His passion for machinery also grew from an early age; Brendan explains, "when I was growing up in my teen years, I'd go home to the family farm and tinker on the digger, build motorbike jumps, groom the bike track and do bits and pieces around the farm for the old man".
Streamlining Operations with Attach2:
At the heart of BR Contracting's success story lies a pivotal moment—a moment of growth and expansion that shaped the trajectory of the business. Brendan reflects on this crucial juncture in his journey. "I'd say the biggest challenge would probably be when it came time to look at expanding from just one truck, one digger, to taking the leap to buying more equipment to expand, you know, with the ongoing workload and more opportunities for bigger projects and that sort of stuff," Brendan shares, his voice tinged with the weight of decision-making.
It was a moment fraught with uncertainty yet ripe with potential. As Brendan stood facing the prospect of growth, his gaze swept over the array of machinery behind him—a testament to his ambition and determination. The Kobelco SK35 with the A2 Heli-Tilt and cleanup bucket, the Sumitomo, and the trusty Bobcat Skid Steer stood as silent witnesses to Brendan's vision for the future of BR Contracting.
With a strategic eye for innovation, Brendan made the decision to invest in Attach2 equipment—a decision that would prove to be transformative for his business. The A2 Heli-Tilt and cleanup bucket became indispensable tools in BR Contracting's arsenal, revolutionising their approach to earthmoving and landscaping tasks.
"The decision to invest in Attach2's Heli-Tilt was a no-brainer," Brendan affirms, his conviction evident in his words. "After spending years doing drainage and changing buckets, it saves time, increases productivity, and makes life on-site much easier" highlighting the transformative impact of Attach2 equipment on their operations.
Driven by a commitment to excellence and fueled by the promise of Attach2's innovative solutions, Brendan and his team at BR Contracting continue to push boundaries and exceed expectations. Each project they undertake is a testament to their unwavering dedication and the transformative power of strategic investment.
Reliability and Durability:
In the fast-paced world of earthmoving and landscaping, having gear you can trust is key. Brendan knows this firsthand. His experience with Attach2 gear speaks volumes about its dependability. “After having the hitch for almost two years, I am happy with the reliability. I haven't had any issues whatsoever and it's been going strong ever since and it's been a huge benefit to me and my business and the growth in everything I do." Brendan remarks, highlighting its robustness and longevity.
Reflecting on his previous equipment, Brendan recalls the challenges he faced. "Before I got the A2 Heli-Tilt on my old machine I had just a Ram-Tilt with a Draw-Pin which is the old system and that worked but obviously being a Draw-Pin hitch it was very time consuming getting in and out switching buckets and everything like that and it had only a 45 degree tilt and there's nothing wrong with that but going to the full 180 degree tilt is just an absolute dream." he explains. However, with Attach2's full 180-degree tilt, Brendan's work has become much smoother and more efficient. "Switching to Attach2 has been a game-changer. We can accomplish more in less time, making everyone's job easier and more fulfilling," Brendan adds. "The biggest benefit of the Heli-Tilt is the time it saves me getting in and out of the machine," Brendan highlights. "It streamlines operations, allowing us to work more efficiently and tackle projects with greater speed and precision."
Beyond its functionality, Brendan also values Attach2's exceptional after-sales service. "Mark and Korde from Attach2 came out to inspect my Heli-Tilt after almost two years of use. They found no issues, which speaks volumes about Attach2's reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction," Brendan notes.
Would Brendan recommend Attach2 gear to others in the industry? "Absolutely," he says without hesitation. "With the variety of attachments they offer, superior quality, and excellent after-sales support, Attach2 is a trusted brand that I would recommend to anyone in the excavation game."
"The quality I find of the Attach2 equipment is incredible. I've had no issues whatsoever with it. As you can see it's pretty solid, pretty well built. You look around at the industry and there's that much of it out there. And a lot of the guys are running mostly that these days. So it's sort of a trusted brand that you can rely on and put your time and money and invest into for your business." - Brendan shares passionately.
Future Growth and Innovation:
Looking ahead, Brendan is optimistic about the future of BR Contracting and its partnership with Attach2. With a focus on refining operations and expanding their client base, Brendan aims to continue delivering exceptional earthmoving and landscaping services while exploring opportunities for growth and innovation.
