Engineered to outperform.
CHOVA CR delivers end-to-end civil construction, engineering design and turnkey accommodation for tier one clients across Papua New Guinea and the Indo-Pacific — built on national content, local participation and an enduring commitment to the communities in which we work.
Building local employment, capability and long-term PNG participation.
A locally grounded partner, built to international standards
CHOVA CR brings together the regional delivery strength of CHOVA and the local knowledge and relationships of PNG CR. The result is a contractor that self-performs across the full project lifecycle — from engineering design through civil works to fully operational, fit-for-purpose facilities.
We specialise in remote-area delivery, where logistics, workforce mobilisation and community engagement decide whether a project succeeds. Through our JV partners, our people have delivered for ExxonMobil, Kumul Petroleum, UNDP and Newcrest, and we measure every engagement against the same standard: safe, on time, and built to last.

Need a scope that spans several of these? That is how we prefer to work — talk to us about your project.
Empowering the communities where we work
National content is not a compliance line in our contracts — it is how we build. We prioritise local employment, skills transfer and landowner-company partnerships on every project, so that the capability we mobilise remains in country long after handover.
Our programmes create structured pathways for PNG citizens into trades, plant operation and site leadership, with a deliberate focus on empowering women and supporting businesses in remote areas.
Skills transfer, local participation and capacity building are commitments we report against — and outcomes our clients can stand behind.
Across Papua New Guinea and the Indo-Pacific
From established bases we mobilise quickly to some of the region's most remote sites — supporting oil and gas, mining, industrial, government and military programmes.
- Port Moresby — head office and principal operational base
- Lae & Madang — logistics and project support hubs
- Highlands region — current and past resource-sector projects
- New Britain & Manus — island and coastal delivery experience
Proven where performance matters most.
