Different properties. One clear start.

Auckland retaining-wall projects: start with the situation you can see.

You do not need to know the wall type, the engineering requirement or the consent pathway before getting in touch. Working that out is the job.

Never enter an area you believe may be unsafe to gather information. If there is immediate danger, contact emergency services and seek urgent site-specific advice.

01Where we can help

Four common starting points.

These are useful ways in, not remote classifications. The right pathway stays site-specific, and it is fine to be unsure which one you are.

See how the process works

01
A new retaining wall
You know where support or usable ground is needed, but not yet which wall system, professional input or approvals apply.
What an engineered wall involves
02
A wall that is failing
You can see movement, cracking, leaning, erosion or water symptoms and need a responsible site-specific starting point.
What to do about a failing wall
03
A slip or stability concern
Ground movement on or near the property where the wider slope, not just the wall, is in question.
Ground movement after heavy rain
04
A complex site or development
Access, neighbours, buildings, driveways, boundaries, slope or multiple decision-makers make coordination as important as construction.
Boundaries, neighbours and access

02What each one usually involves

A new retaining wall

Creating usable ground, terracing a slope or levelling a section
Retention for a new build, driveway, garage pad or pool
Replacing a wall that has reached the end of its service life
Boundary retention where the neighbouring property is affected

A wall that is failing

Leaning, rotation, bulging or visible movement
Cracking, splitting timber, corroded fixings or displaced blocks
Water coming through the face, or ponding behind the wall
Erosion or loss of ground at either end of the wall

A slip or stability concern

Ground movement on or near the property after heavy rain
Cracking in paths, driveways or paving above a slope
Concern about the wider slope rather than just the wall
A site where a geotechnical view is likely to be needed

A complex site or development

Restricted access, tight boundaries or limited machinery room
Retention forming part of a subdivision or wider earthworks programme
Multiple decision-makers, or a property manager acting for an owner
Work sequenced around an existing build programme
