Under Building Act 2004 and Building Code, construction projects including retaining walls must observe specific regulations in terms of height, engineering requirements, drainage considerations, and soil stability.

We are more than happy to provide direction in terms of standard retaining walls. Working with us helps you ensure that your project meets all legal requirements. We can also help with permits and approvals before commencing construction if necessary. The following are essential requirements for Wellington retaining walls.

  • Retaining walls exceeding 1.5 meters in height requires building consent from the local council
  • The design must be robust enough to withstand pressures from the soil and other loads like trucks passing by

One Of Wellington's Licensed & Insured Retaining Wall Companies

When it comes to building retaining walls in Wellington, working with a licensed and insured company is essential for protecting your investment and ensuring the job is done right. In New Zealand, any retaining wall over 1.5 metres high typically requires a building consent, and the work must meet strict standards under the New Zealand Building Code. A licensed contractor understands these legal requirements, handles council approvals if needed, and guarantees the work is safe, durable, and fully compliant. Insurance also gives you peace of mind, covering any unexpected issues during construction. Choosing a professional isn’t just a smart decision — it’s a requirement for quality and lasting value.
