Working closely with local authorities and their exacting standards, our competent and motivated staff are able to offer engineering design solutions for any project.

Subdivision Design

Subdivision and land development projects form a large part of our business. Our team of engineers will provide the best engineering solution for your project, using the latest design software and working closely with our planners and surveyors.

We design and manage the infrastructure required for subdivisions, including water supply, stormwater management, sewer connections, roading and bulk earthworks.

We understand that all subdivisions require the same engineering considerations and attention to detail, regardless of their size. We approach each individual project with a professional attitude, and with consideration to our client’s budget and time constraints.

Road Design, Driveway Access and Car Park Design

Cuttriss Consultants can assist with all your roading requirements, whether it is a section of new public road, a private drive or a commercial car park.

We will manage all aspects of the project including stormwater management, pavement design, access and egress issues and carparking layout.  Our experience and design software will ensure a fast and practical solution, which will meet your requirements.

Local Authority Infrastructure Design and Renewals

Cuttriss Consultants work closely with local authorities around the Wellington region on a variety of infrastructure renewal projects and extensions. Our engineers use the latest software to design new services, upgrades and renewals for stormwater, sewer and water infrastructure projects.

Earthworks

Our engineers will design the earthworks required for your project, using the latest software.  Our final design will be a practical solution for your project, whether it is a large scale subdivision, the formation of a cleanfill, or simply to create drive-on access to a site or a building platform on your property.

Working with our surveyors, we can also set out and monitor earthworks progress, calculate volumes for progress payments and provide asbuilt plans to the local councils.

Project Management

Our engineering team has extensive experience in project managing civil contracts, and we run all of our projects in a cost effective and efficient manner.  We work closely with our clients, councils and contractors to ensure that the best outcome is achieved.

We pride ourselves on completing projects on time and on budget.
