Geotechnical & Structural Engineering Consultants
Christchurch & Canterbury
Branch Consulting provides practical, site-specific geotechnical and structural engineering services for residential and small commercial projects. We focus on clear advice, efficient delivery, and engineering solutions that meet council and building consent requirements.
Clear, Practical Engineering
Residential projects don’t need unnecessary paperwork or big-firm overheads. Canterbury ground conditions and council requirements often mean site-specific assessment and engineering design is required. We handle the technical details so your project can move forward smoothly.
