At Everest, we understand the unique challenges of civil engineering for land development projects. From transforming land into developed spaces to meeting regulatory and consent requirements, our civil engineers deliver tailored solutions to bring your vision to life. Our expertise spans feasibility studies, design, supervision, and compliance for projects involving earthworks, roads, water, sewage, and stormwater systems.
Addressing Key Challenges in Civil Engineering
Civil engineering projects often require balancing complex requirements with practical solutions. Our team assesses multiple options during the design phase, considering costs and outcomes to achieve the best results for your project. Whether it’s ensuring compliance with council regulations or designing for optimal efficiency, we take pride in problem-solving and seeing the big picture to deliver timely and effective outcomes.
Our areas of expertise include:
- Earthworks and drainage design
- Road and civil infrastructure design
- Stormwater management systems
- Land-use planning and subdivisions
- Resource consent and engineering plan approval (EPA)
- Tender and contract preparation (NZS3910)
- Construction supervision and management
- Compliance sign-offs, including COA, EACC, and S224C

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Services
Drainage Design / Three Waters
Design of 3-waters services should consider whole-of-life asset management to reduce the risk of errors, delays, and cost overruns. This includes often overlooked construction, operation, and maintenance issues.
Earthworks
We take a practical approach with efficient earthworks design, to minimise the effects of land disturbance. This is achieved through a deep understanding of regulatory requirements, industry construction methodologies, client preferences and works sequencing.
Roading & Right of Way Design
Access requirements vary depending on proposed land-use, regulatory planning zones / requirements, local environment and many other factors. The Everest team are experienced and across the detail when it comes to providing solutions to these challenges.
Resource Consent & EPA
Navigating the resource consent process can seem daunting for any project. But we streamline it, making it as simple and easy as possible for you with our expert guidance, to ensure a smooth journey to approval.
Stormwater Management
Everest provides effective stormwater management analysis, modelling, strategies, designs, and solutions. We’ll ensure the long-term success of your development with practical, sustainable outcomes.
Construction Monitoring & Compliance
Oversight of construction and compliance sign-off is critical element of the development process. Councils usually require developers to engage an engineering consultant to oversee project works to ensure designs, drawings, and specifications are properly interpreted, constructed and reported.
