Areas of Practice

Civil Engineering Solutions

Clean water, biodiversity, living soil, and the treatment of waste is a core concern for us all, and at Taiao we aim to be part of the solution through our civil engineering services. Whether you’re subdividing, disposing of wastewater on-site, looking to control stormwater, or constructing vehicle access, we can help.

Structural Engineering Solutions

The way we construct buildings in New Zealand is always evolving with new technologies, engineering findings, lower levels of risk acceptance, and changes in regulations – so the way we engineer must be adaptable and innovative. From calculations to certifications, Taiao specialises in a wide range of structural engineering solutions.

Earth Building and Natural Design

We believe in harnessing the power and beauty of nature, and our earth building services offer innovative and sustainable solutions – from rammed earth construction to utilising natural materials, Taiao creates structures that blend harmoniously with nature and promote a healthier living environment.

Architectural Design

Our commitment is to provide aesthetic, sustainable, and durable design to simplify the construction process and minimise environmental impact. Whether you’re envisioning a contemporary residential masterpiece, a functional commercial space, or an efficient and sustainable industrial facility, the Taiao team excels in bringing your vision to life.
