Civilplan Consultants

CivilPlan was created by founding partners Mike Smith and Russell Baikie. Mike initially commenced in September 2014, and Russell joined in January 2015.

Its formation had its origins following an inspirational trek of the Routeburn track. With a desire to escape the corporate world, they saw a gap in the market and decided to create a friendly and progressive small business providing quality planning and civil engineering services. The name and logo collaborated with the stylised north point, representing the essence of CivilPlan as solid and progressive.

In April 2018, Campbell Harvey joined the board, bringing the land survey discipline to the business and adding strength and resilience to our multidisciplinary “one-stop shop” service offering.

From the initial beginnings of a few dedicated and loyal employees, the company has grown to 26 staff members of varying ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities and thrives in a business and culture of making things happen.

At CivilPlan we believe that it is important to get the balance right and have fun as a team. Life here is about being connected, where ideas can shape the future. We work together to deliver outstanding results for our clients, create a great workplace, enrich our community and help each other grow. As a part of our thriving family you will have constant opportunities to learn and will always be developing your professional, technical and leadership skills.

Straight Up

We express our ideas and opinions openly and challenge each other to develop and grow. We respect each other and act with integrity. We take responsibility for our actions and do what we say we will. Always.

Raise the Bar

We’re passionate and dedicated to solving our customers’ problems with our solutions. Learning new skills and growing our knowledge is second nature to us. We constantly raise our game to deliver high standards of work for our clients. We take pride in what we do and are continually seeking new opportunities that allow us to build a sustainable business which is also a great place to work.

Stronger Together

We care about each other and go out of our way to support, look after each other and share our knowledge. That’s how we become stronger and connected to each other and our clients. We cooperate, collaborate and celebrate. We work hard together and have fun along the way.

A great example of giving back to the community is the recent work we completed for Sunset Beach Lifeguard Service club rooms at Port Waikato. Its what helps keep locals thriving, and we can rest easy as a company knowing that we are doing our part for future generations. Its exciting to see how social enterprise can really get momentum.
