<h2>About Civix</h2>
<p>Civix is a technology-forward civil engineering and land development consultancy based in New Zealand, with offices in Auckland, Tauranga and Christchurch. The firm helps property owners and developers through every step of the development process, specialising in large-scale land development projects such as master planned communities, commercial sites and underground infrastructure.</p>
<p>The company's mission is to provide a diverse array of services with a primary focus on delivering results effectively and efficiently. Drawing on years of industry experience, Civix provides tailored solutions to architects, developers, builders, government, councils and individual landowners - streamlining the intricate processes of land subdivision and construction and making them as straightforward and harmonised as possible for all stakeholders.</p>
<h2>Services</h2>
<h3>Civil Engineering</h3>
<p>Civix engineers are experts in the development and subdivision of land, providing a wide range of civil engineering services. The team works collaboratively with the other disciplines involved in project delivery to produce integrated outcomes rather than siloed deliverables.</p>
<h3>Environmental Engineering and Stormwater</h3>
<p>Civix environmental engineers are experts in stormwater management, built on years of research and experience across contaminant management, flood control and sediment control. In New Zealand's regulatory environment, stormwater and sediment control frequently determine whether a subdivision consent proceeds at all, which places this discipline early in the project rather than late.</p>
<h3>Planning and Resource Consent</h3>
<p>Civix planners take the uncertainty out of the consenting process. The team are experts on the Unitary Plan, District Plans and the Resource Management Act (RMA). Whether a client is beginning due diligence or is ready to proceed with consent applications, Civix can provide a full project team to meet the project objectives.</p>
<h3>Licensed Cadastral Surveying</h3>
<p>Civix Licensed Cadastral Surveyors take clients through the development process from the initial topographic survey through to construction setout, as-builting, and 223 and 224C applications.</p>
<h2>Integrated Delivery</h2>
<p>The combination of town planners, chartered engineers and licensed cadastral surveyors under one roof is the practical core of the offer: for private land developments, Civix covers the project from the initial site visit through to council sign-off. Subdivision work in New Zealand routinely stalls at the handoffs between planning, engineering and survey, so consolidating those disciplines removes a common source of delay and cost.</p>
<h2>Project Experience</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Taumata o Kupe</strong> - a historic project for which Civix planners obtained consent, recognised with an NZIA award for public architecture and subsequently covered internationally.</li>
<li><strong>Kohe development, Pukekohe</strong> - Civix planners, engineers and surveyors have been involved since identifying the potential of the property for a private plan change, working with Aedifice Property Group.</li>

<h2>About Aurecon</h2>
<p>Aurecon is an Asia Pacific engineering, design and advisory company that uses engineering expertise to provide advisory, design, delivery and asset management services. Its stated purpose - bringing ideas to life - describes a business that works from early strategic thinking through to the long-term operation of completed assets.</p>
<p>The group is headquartered in Docklands, Melbourne and is owner-managed, a governance structure that keeps decision-making with the people delivering the work rather than with external shareholders.</p>
<h2>Formation and Structure</h2>
<p>Aurecon was created through the merger of three established engineering consultancies - Africon, Connell Wagner and Ninham Shand - bringing together African and Australasian engineering practices under a single brand. The company today employs more than 6,500 people across a network of offices spanning Australia, New Zealand and Asia.</p>
<h2>Geographic Presence</h2>
<p>In Australia the firm operates from around fifteen offices including Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. In New Zealand roughly 900 engineering and advisory professionals work from five offices in Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch, with further presence across Southeast Asia.</p>
<p>That regional concentration matters. Australian and New Zealand infrastructure work involves specific conditions - seismic design in New Zealand, extreme heat and bushfire risk in Australia, cyclone loading in the north, and long distances between population centres - which shape engineering decisions in ways that generic international practice does not address.</p>
<h2>Services</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Advisory</strong> - asset management and advisory, infrastructure and risk advisory, and sustaining capital planning</li>
<li><strong>Design</strong> - multidisciplinary engineering and design across building and infrastructure projects</li>
<li><strong>Delivery</strong> - support through construction and commissioning</li>
<li><strong>Asset management</strong> - performance, maintenance strategy and whole-of-life planning for completed assets</li>
</ul>
<h2>Technical Disciplines</h2>
<ul>
<li>Water resources, supply, purification and treatment</li>
<li>Transportation and roads</li>
<li>Structures and buildings</li>
<li>Heavy engineering and industrial facilities</li>
<li>Infrastructure services and utilities</li>
<li>Environmental science and sustainability</li>
</ul>
<h2>Advisory and Asset Management</h2>
<p>The advisory and asset management strands are worth singling out. Most engineering consultancies concentrate on design, but Aurecon positions advisory work at the front of its offer - helping clients decide what to build and whether to build at all - and asset management at the back, covering how an asset performs over decades. Sustaining capital advice, in particular, addresses a problem many owners face: allocating limited renewal budgets across an ageing portfolio.</p>
<h2>Sustainability</h2>
<p>Sustainability and environmental science run through the practice, from environmental impact assessment on infrastructure schemes to decarbonisation and climate resilience planning. In a region facing acute climate exposure, resilience is an engineering requirement rather than an optional service.</p>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>Aurecon is one of the leading engineering and advisory firms in Australia and New Zealand, competing with the large global consultancies while retaining a distinctly regional identity and owner-managed structure. Its clients include government agencies, utilities, transport authorities, developers and industrial owners.</p>
<h2>Why AEC Teams Should Know Aurecon</h2>
<p>For teams working on Australasian infrastructure, water or major buildings, Aurecon is a significant reference point for integrated advisory, design and asset management across the built environment.</p>

Case Study: 5 Five-Story Mixed-Use Apartment & Commercial Buildings

Background
A developer had completed designs for five mixed-use buildings using traditional steel frame and concrete construction. With plans to build 65 more similar buildings over the next decade, the release of upcoming New Zealand decarbonisation legislation posed a serious risk to project viability. Compliance uncertainty threatened cost overruns, feasibility issues, and the overall deliverability of the remaining developments. To mitigate these risks, the developer turned to V-Quest to assess and optimize their design strategy.

Results
Within 48 hours of using V-Quest, the developer uncovered significant design optimisation opportunities:
✅ 3,750 tonnes of carbon emissions eliminated through smarter material selection.
✅ 1,000 tonnes of weight reduction, removing the need for expensive piling—saving $750,000.
✅ Structural efficiency gains enabled two additional floors, increasing project yield and profitability.

The outcome? Higher returns, cost savings, and a future-proofed portfolio against incoming legislation—Win, Win, Win.

How V-Quest Delivers Value
V-Quest integrates real-time, data-driven analytics into the design workflow, allowing architects and engineers to rapidly identify and implement optimisation opportunities. Unlike conventional design processes constrained by tight timelines, competitive tendering, and misconceptions about decarbonisation, V-Quest automates deep carbon, cost, and mass analysis without disrupting the workflow.

This enables fast, comparative analysis of materials and construction methods, ensuring every project is cost-efficient, regulation-ready, and environmentally responsible.

Client: Aedifice
Local Engineer: Civix
Project Name: Selo
Location: Auckland, New Zealand
Project Size: 11 acres
Road Network: 5 miles
Tech Solution: Allsite.ai - Service AI 1.0

Project Overview
Aedifice, a leading property development firm, sought to develop the Selo project, a 11-acre residential community in Eden Terrace, Auckland, New Zealand. The project encompassed 243 buildings across 210 lots, with an extensive utility infrastructure involving over 5 miles of sanitary sewer, wastewater, and water supply pipes. To address the complexity of this large-scale development, Aedifice partnered with local engineers Civix who leveraged the innovative Allsite.ai platform, specifically Service AI 1.0, to optimize the design and construction process.


The Challenge
The Selo project faced several challenges due to its size and scope, including the need to design a highly efficient underground pipe network. The requirements were substantial:

555 (2.7 miles) storm drain pipes

385 (1.7 miles) sanitary sewer pipes

536 (2.6 miles) water supply pipes

The intricate design had to meet stringent engineering rules, including proper pipe cover, minimum clearance between pipes, and minimum grades. Additionally, the design needed to be cost-effective, balancing both capital (CAPEX) and operational (OPEX) expenses while minimizing risks of structural conflicts like pipes too close to retaining walls. Flood resilience was also a critical concern, as the area was prone to flooding.


Technology in Action: Allsite.ai's Service AI 1.0
To overcome these challenges, Civix utilized Allsite.ai's Service AI 1.0, an intelligent tool designed to automate and optimize engineering designs. Service AI 1.0 provided a comprehensive solution for the pipe network by:

Setting all pipe invert levels to ensure compliance with engineering rules.
Automatically designing the pipe network to minimize CAPEX and OPEX costs.
Implementing built-in QA checking to detect potential design conflicts, such as pipes near retaining walls.
Automatically sizing pipes based on specified catchments and performing a full flow analysis to ensure optimal performance.
Generating detailed pipe long sections, capacity tables, and plan views that adhered to Auckland City Council standards, eliminating the need for manual drafting.
Calculating trench volumes and setting excavation methods (shoring or benching), improving communication between developers and construction teams.

In addition, semi-automated flood modelling was conducted using the Tuflow flood engine, ensuring the design was resilient against future flood events.



Client Feedback

According to the projects Professional Engineer from Civix, “Using Service AI 1.0 and Allsite.ai, iterations of servicing design took less than an hour. Every pipe invert was designed with no overrides. I was blown away by how accurate it was, creating a design better than a human could—the design had lower construction and operational costs, giving a great result for the client.”
