From first look to handover

One company runs your whole Auckland retaining-wall project.

A retaining wall pulls in engineers, Auckland Council, drainage, access and a build sequence. SRW runs all of it and reports back to you, in the order it needs to happen.

Engineering services, where a project requires them, are provided by independent qualified engineers engaged and managed by SRW. Auckland Council makes the regulatory decision on every consent.

01The managed route

You do not need to arrive with the answers.

Start with the full property address and what is happening. We work out the practical order of decisions, engage whoever the project needs and coordinate the route into construction.

Tell us about your project
  1. 01

    We come to the property

    We visit the address, listen to what you need and record what can be safely observed: the wall or proposed area, access, slope, water, nearby structures and boundaries.

  2. 02

    We set a practical scope

    The first assessment frames the site problem and what information is needed next. It is a starting scope, not a fixed price.

  3. 03

    We engage the engineer

    Where the project needs structural or geotechnical input, we engage and brief the engineer, then work the design through with them so the wall specified suits the property and the budget.

  4. 04

    We handle the consent

    We prepare and lodge the building consent, assemble the supporting documentation and respond to Auckland Council's requests for information. You are not the one chasing Council.

  5. 05

    We plan the build

    Confirmed design inputs, access, sequencing, site protection, materials and inspection points are brought into one workable construction plan.

  6. 06

    We build it and close it out

    We manage construction, site safety, communication and the required inspections, then hand the project over with its records. Where the wall was consented, that includes seeing it through to code compliance.

A narrow bench between two timber lines: the kind of access constraint that decides the whole build sequence.

A pole going in on the chain. The structure is set before any backfill goes near it, because the backfill is what the wall then has to hold.

Handover condition: levels held, steps between them, and ground that can be used again.

02What SRW manages

One company, from the first site visit to the finished wall.

You do not project-manage this. You do not chase an engineer, interpret a consent condition or book an inspection. SRW runs the whole thing and reports back to you.

A clear place to start

Start with the property, not a technical diagnosis.

Share the address, the situation and a short description. You do not need to know the wall system, consent pathway or engineering requirements.
