Who we are

Our Story

Founded in 1996 on Auckland’s North Shore, Markplan Consulting began as a small home‑based practice with a big ambition: to deliver engineering that is practical, reliable, and genuinely easy for clients to engage with. 

Over the years, that philosophy has guided our growth. What started as a one‑person operation has evolved into a highly respected Structural and Civil Engineering consultancy with dedicated teams in both Auckland and Wānaka. 

Today, we support residential, commercial, institutional, and civil projects across New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, always with the same commitment we began with - clear communication, technically sound solutions, and engineering that makes people’s lives easier.

Meet the people behind our projects: Our Team

Our Expertise

Our team specialises in structural and civil engineering design. Practical, innovative solutions are applied to every project, ensuring that structures are safe, functional, and buildable. 

From detailed design and documentation to on-site support, we make sure every stage of the project runs smoothly. 

Whether it’s a residential home, a multi-unit development, or a large-scale commercial or civil infrastructure project, our engineers combine technical expertise with a focus on clarity and efficiency to deliver outcomes that exceed expectations. 

It is our belief that you shouldn’t have to be an engineer to deal with one so we make complex engineering simple & easy.
