Talk to the engineer.
A chartered geotechnical and structural engineer in Christchurch, working across Canterbury. Residential, commercial and industrial sites, from a single dwelling to a large scale subdivision.
Send through your plans.
The more we know about the site, the more useful the first answer is. Nothing here commits you to anything.
Both disciplines, one firm
Ground and structure in house, so the foundation and the building standing on it are designed against the same numbers.
Four registrations, one engineer
CPEng and CMEngNZ, IntPE(NZ) and APEC Engineer. Held by the engineer who would be on your site, not by a name on the letterhead.
Canterbury ground, first hand
TC1, TC2 and TC3 land, and the mass movement sites either side of it. Christchurch ground is not one thing, so the history of a lot is part of the read rather than a footnote to it.
A straight read, either way
If the site is simple we will say so. If it needs deeper investigation we will tell you why, and show you the ground that says it.
