After a frustrating experience with a large engineering firm, Carey from Flowpath took over our project and immediately got us back on track. He’s been fantastic to deal with—practical, knowledgeable, and proactive in resolving issues. His ability to provide efficient, common-sense solutions saved us a lot of time and stress. Highly recommended.

I have worked with Flowpath on numerous projects over the past several years. It has always been a very high calibre of work from their team. Communication is always a breeze and the depth of knowledge is immense. Project turnaround is very reasonable and the fees are always sharp. Will always be happy to continue working with Flowpath.

13 New Houses - Kainga Ora

13 New Houses - Kainga Ora

Cardiff Road, Pakuranga

In Pakuranga, Auckland, our team worked with the wider project team to transform a 3,612m² site originally developed for four units into 13 Homestar 6-certified homes, ranging from 2 to 6 bedrooms. The project required extensive civil works, including 2,000m³ of earthworks, 1km of drainage, 165m of retaining walls, and a 1,500m² concrete pour. The project team successfully navigated significant design challenges such as signficant flooding, overland flow issues, and the complexities associated with multiple public pipes running through the site. Flowpath were involved from survey stage through design and construction, through to hand over of completed houses. The project was delivered with efficiency—the first unit was tenanted six months early, and the remaining homes were handed over ahead of schedule.

8 Terraced Units

8 Terraced Units

Ludlow Terrace, North Shore

This architecturally designed 8-duplex development replaced an existing dwelling. There were some technical earthworks and retaining aspects to overcome, however the design turn around was still very quick. Due to the condensed and concise site design, fitting all elements into a seamless design that is sutiable for future home owners was a challenge. ANDO architects did a great job producing the design. The Infrastructure Report and Civil Drawings were completed within 4-5 weeks of being engaged so the client could keep momentum and move on to the RC Application, Engineering Approval, and Building Consents.

18 Homestar 8 Apartments

18 Homestar 8 Apartments

Bader Drive, Mangere

Bader Ventura is a newly completed 18-apartment Passive House development in Māngere, Auckland, complemented by a four-bedroom standalone home. It sets a bold precedent for high-performance residential construction, reflecting a commitment to both occupant well-being and environmental stewardship. This well designed development in South Auckland was a successful collaboration of area-wide infrastructure upgrades, urban design strategy, architectural showcase apartments, landscaping, geotechnical and civil expertise. With spacious landscaping and shared areas, these new units are well appreciated in Auckland’s current housing deficit. From a civil engineering perspective, the project demanded careful flood-risk mitigation, stormwater detention solutions, and the delicate task of building over existing public services. A comprehensive site-level design was prepared and rigorously monitored, culminating in successful construction sign-off. Throughout this process, extensive discussions and collaboration with both Council and the client were vital, ensuring that regulatory requirements were met and project goals were realised. In addition to achieving an 8 Homestar rating, the development reduces operational carbon by 35% and cuts electricity consumption for space heating by around 62%. These sustainability outcomes, combined with consistently comfortable indoor conditions, underscore the project’s status as a showcase for resilient, energy-efficient living. Awarded the ACCORD Beacon Supreme Award 2023, Bader Ventura delivers an outstanding outcome for the client and the wider community. A great project to have played our role in!
