Geotechnical, structural and civil engineering for Kaitaia, Hokianga, Kerikeri, Paihia and the wider Far North District. One multi-discipline team, deep local knowledge.
Enquire TodayCore Engineering provides geotechnical, structural and civil engineering services across the Far North District. Whether you are building a new home in Kerikeri, developing a lifestyle block near Kaitaia, or need a geotechnical investigation for a commercial site in Paihia — our experienced team delivers thorough, practical engineering backed by years of Northland experience.
We understand the unique challenges of building in the Far North — including expansive clay soils, high annual rainfall, coastal exposure, on-site wastewater constraints and the specific consenting requirements of Far North District Council. Our engineers are registered with Engineering New Zealand and carry direct experience with rural, coastal and remote project sites throughout the district.
Core Engineering's multi-discipline structure means Far North clients get geotechnical, structural and civil engineering from one team — eliminating the cost and delay of coordinating multiple separate consultants, which is particularly valuable for remote project sites where site visit efficiency matters.
Site investigations, CPT testing, foundation recommendations and slope assessments for Northland's varied ground conditions.

Our engineers hold Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) status — the highest professional credential in New Zealand engineering. You get qualified expertise, not junior sign-offs.
Our engineering team brings over 30 years of combined experience across civil, structural and geotechnical disciplines — spanning residential, commercial, infrastructure and rural projects throughout Northland.
Civil, structural and geotechnical under one roof. No coordinating between firms, no conflicting reports — your project is handled start to finish by a team that works together.
We focus on practical solutions that work for your project and your budget — not over-engineered complexity. Clear communication, straightforward advice, and documentation that gets your consent through.
Based in Whangarei with a Waipu office, we are a genuinely local firm — we know Northland ground conditions, councils and communities from the ground up.
