About Othannel

A young, Labasa-grown construction company — now building right across Fiji — built on a simple idea: treat every project like it's our own.

Our Story

Labasa-grown, built to scale

Incorporated in 2021, Othannel Construction grew from the leading building exterior and design firm in Labasa into a company that now takes on projects right across Fiji — Suva, the West, the North and the East. We have a median team age of 31 — a young company, but never a green one: our people combine strong education with over 50 years of collective experience in the construction industry.

We focus on residential design and construction — new homes, renovations and extensions — backed by our own design and materials research, with the aim of scaling toward a team of 50+ as we grow nationwide. Whatever the project and wherever it is, our promise is the same: proper planning, honest weekly reporting, and work we're proud to put our name on.
