Branch Consulting provides geotechnical and structural engineering services for residential projects across Christchurch, Canterbury, and the wider South Island – working with homeowners, builders, architects, and designers.
We’re set up to be a straightforward engineering partner for building professionals who need reliable, consent-ready documentation and a team that responds promptly and keeps projects moving.
For Builders & Architects
If you’re regularly engaged on residential projects and need a reliable engineering consultant on your team, we’d like to hear from you. We understand programme pressures and the importance of getting documentation right the first time.

Common referral work includes:
- Geotechnical investigations and reports for new builds and subdivisions
- Structural engineering design and calculations for consent
- Foundation design based on site-specific ground conditions
- Peer review and engineering sign-off
- Producer Statements for Design, Review, and Construction Monitoring
