Building smarter, not just bigger. 🏗️

We’re proud to be delivering cost-effective Structural engineering solutions for these 2-storey townhouses in Havelock North, in collaboration with and PGC Constructors.

From ground conditions to foundation design, every decision has been focused on maximising efficiency without compromising quality. By refining the design and construction approach, we’ve helped streamline the build while keeping costs under control — a win for both developer and future homeowners.

Another solid project taking shape. 👊

Big views, bigger opportunities.

Cresco is now designing in Queenstown 🏔️

Bringing our expertise in structural engineering to one of New Zealand’s most iconic landscapes. From lakeside builds to alpine developments, we’re here to deliver smart, cost-effective solutions that work with the environment — not against it.

If you’re building in Queenstown, let’s make it happen.

We’re proud to have delivered cost-effective geotechnical and structural engineering solutions for these modern townhouses in Palmerston North.

From ground investigation through to structural design, our focus was simple:
✔️ Practical foundation solutions
✔️ Efficient structural systems
✔️ Smart material use
✔️ Keeping build costs under control without compromising quality or compliance

By working closely with the builder and project team, we’ve ensured these homes are built on solid ground — literally and structurally — while maintaining budget efficiency.

Great to see this development taking shape 👏

If you’re planning a residential or multi-unit project and want engineering that adds value (not unnecessary cost), let’s talk.

Cresco, we’re proud inventors and structural engineers behind the RibRaft X-Pod™—New Zealand’s innovative, sustainable concrete foundation solution. These recycled plastic pods replace traditional polystyrene void formers, creating a strong, ribbed raft slab (typically 300mm thick with 100mm ribs at 750mm or 1500mm centres) that’s resilient, cost-effective, and better performing on expansive clays, TC2 liquefaction-prone sites, and good ground.
Key perks of the X-Pod system:
• Uses recycled plastic for a greener build (less waste, no polystyrene)
• Faster installation with clip-together pods and minimal site mess
• Superior structural performance and thermal properties similar to (or slightly better than) older waffle systems
• Free cloud-based design software for engineers to spec it quickly
We’re seeing more projects like this across NZ, from homes to light commercial and even retirement villages. Quick, resilient foundations that stand up to our soils and environment.
If you’re building or designing in NZ and want advice on whether X-Pod suits your site, hit us up! Visit cresco.co.nz or cresco-group.com for details, or drop a message.
Proud to see another X-Pod foundation taking shape—strong foundations for Kiwi homes! 💪🇳🇿
