Kennards has expanded its Specialist Solutions offering to support major infrastructure and complex projects across Australia and New Zealand. The service delivers end-to-end solutions, reliable equipment, and project-aligned expertise from planning through to delivery, solving its customers’ multiple supplier frustrations.
Kennards has integrated turn-key solutions through its Water Management, Temporary Fencing, Site Mobilisation Compounds, and Power & Renewable products and site services.
David Schurman, General Manager, Fleet, Kennards Hire, says, “We’ve been supporting major infrastructure projects for many years, and what’s exciting is how we’re continuing to expand and evolve. Project leads don’t want to be dealing with multiple suppliers and are recognising the benefits of having everything at their disposal under one reliable organisation.
The expansion responds to growing customer frustration with the complexity and inefficiency of coordinating multiple suppliers and partners on large projects, including misaligned timelines and increased compliance risk. Kennards Hire’s Specialist Solutions model consolidates specialist expertise, equipment, compliance, installation and project management support under one integrated offering.
The fourth annual Kennards Hire Construction Confidence Check (CCC), released in 2025, reinforces the need for this shift, finding that one in three projects are affected by inefficiencies such as managing multiple suppliers, lack of project expertise and outdated equipment.
Key benefits of the expanded capability include:
-
Early involvement at tender and planning to shape smarter, more cost-effective delivery and address common project inefficiencies.
-
Installation, verification and compliance oversight to keep projects safe and on schedule.
-
Mobile expert teams with national reach, ensuring consistent, high-quality service across diverse project environments.
The CCC also highlights that industry leaders are increasingly seeking new ways of working, from outsourcing specialist expertise to investing in innovative equipment, trends that Kennards Hire’s Specialist Solutions offering directly supports.
The expansion is already making a tangible impact on major projects, including the Sydney Fish Markets, Throsby Creek Footbridge in Newcastle, Dunedin Hospital in New Zealand and Adelaide’s North-South Corridor T2D development, the largest Specialist Solutions project undertaken by the business to-date.
By combining specialist expertise, reliable equipment, and professional services under a single partner, Kennards Hire is helping customers streamline delivery, improve efficiency, and gain confidence that their complex projects are in capable hands.
