Frequently asked questions
What engineering do I need for a subdivision in Auckland?
A typical Auckland subdivision needs a geotechnical assessment of the whole site, an earthworks design with an erosion and sediment control plan to Auckland Council GD05, a stormwater management plan and design to GD01, three-waters design to the council code of practice, roading and access design, and engineering plan approval after the resource consent. The geotechnical work should come first, because ground conditions determine the lot layout, the earthworks volumes and the achievable yield.
When should I engage an engineer in a subdivision?
Before committing to a lot layout. Geotechnical constraints such as slope stability, fill, groundwater and soakage capacity routinely change achievable lot counts, and finding out after the scheme plan is drawn means redesigning. A short feasibility assessment at concept stage is the cheapest engineering you will buy on the project.
What is the difference between resource consent and engineering plan approval?
Resource consent is the planning approval to subdivide or develop under the Resource Management Act and the Auckland Unitary Plan. Engineering plan approval is the separate technical approval of the detailed engineering design for the works, covering roads, three-waters and earthworks, against the council code of practice, and it comes after resource consent. Both are needed before construction starts, and the conditions of the resource consent shape what the engineering design has to achieve.
Can you do both the geotechnical and the civil design?
Yes. Holding the geotechnical and civil engineering in one practice means the earthworks design, the stormwater and soakage design and the foundation recommendations are all built on the same ground model, and there is one engineer accountable for the interfaces. It also removes the co-ordination gap that produces most requests for further information.
