Structural Engineering Services - Northland

Structural Engineering

Residential and Commercial Structural Design

Core Engineering provides structural engineering for a wide range of building types across Northland - from new residential homes and alterations to commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings. Our structural engineers design to NZS3604, NZS3101 and the New Zealand Building Code, producing clear documentation for building consent.

We issue Producer Statements (PS1 for design and PS4 for construction review) accepted by Whangarei District Council, Kaipara District Council and Far North District Council. Our CPEng-qualified engineers sign off your design with full professional accountability.


Retaining Walls, Seismic Assessment and Strengthening

Our structural team designs retaining walls across the full range of types - timber pole, crib, masonry block, reinforced concrete and MSE - working alongside our geotechnical engineers to ensure wall designs are grounded in accurate site-specific soil parameters, not generic assumptions.

We carry out seismic assessments (ISA and DSA) for existing buildings, providing %NBS ratings required by councils and lenders. Where strengthening is required, we design the structural upgrade and manage the process through to PS4 sign-off on completion.

Being part of a multi-discipline team means our structural engineers work directly alongside geotechnical and civil engineers - delivering fully coordinated design documentation for your project from a single point of contact.
