Kiwi-owned. Chartered. Straight up about what matters.
Brady Consulting is a civil engineering and land development consultancy working across Auckland and Waikato. We're small enough to know your project properly, and qualified enough to see it through from first sketch to final sign-off.
Big-project experience, personal-scale service
Brady Consulting was founded by Sam Brady, a Chartered Professional Engineer with over nine years' experience delivering civil engineering and land development projects across New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Sam's career started in Auckland, designing three waters infrastructure across the upper North Island — wastewater networks, pump stations, and servicing for growing communities from Whangarei to the Bay of Plenty. Then came the UK: four years in London working alongside international experts on some genuinely big infrastructure — the Thames Tideway Tunnel beneath the River Thames, enabling works for the Sizewell C nuclear power station, and a new collection centre for the British Museum. Projects at that scale demand rigorous design, careful stakeholder coordination, and solutions that hold up under serious scrutiny. That's the standard Sam brought home.
Back in New Zealand, the focus has been land development — leading residential subdivisions, brownfield redevelopments, and retirement village expansions from first feasibility through design, consenting, and construction to final CPEng certification. Time and again the same lesson showed up: projects run best when one engineer carries them the whole way through.
That's why Brady Consulting exists — to bring big-project rigour to developments of every size, with the direct, personal service only a small consultancy can offer.
Bespoke, not boilerplate
We don't run projects through a standard template. Every site, every client, and every consent pathway is a bit different — so we scope the work around what your project actually needs, not what's easiest for us to repeat.
We work where we live
Being environmentally conscious isn't a marketing line for us — Auckland and Waikato are where we actually live, so the stormwater, earthworks, and development decisions we make have consequences for places we care about. We look for ways to reduce environmental impact within every project's constraints, and we're upfront when a client's preferred approach and best environmental practice pull in different directions.
More than just infrastructure
A subdivision or development isn't just engineering drawings and consent conditions — it becomes someone's neighbourhood. We take that seriously. Our goal on every project is to leave the communities we work in better off, not just technically compliant.
