We thrive on architectural details, be they complex, inventive, impossible or elegant. With a proactive engineering project management team & experienced fabrication engineers, we get the job done. No matter the scope or complexity, your project will be delivered with creativity, care, and precision.

Discover custom steel fabrication solutions built for both beauty and purpose. What sets Division apart is our ability to be unique and adventurous in the design and implementation of bespoke projects. Forget one-size-fits-all. As an engineering company that combines accuracy and imagination, we’ll get your project delivered on time and to spec. When it comes to architectural design working alongside a fabrication engineer, clients receive dedicated engineering project management and proactive communication from pre-construction and the first plan to last beam, bolt or banister.

Our story

In 2005, Anthony Simpson started Division Engineering, bringing techniques from the UK to improve both the pace of projects and the end result. Over twenty years later, Division Engineering is still family owned and run, delivering accurate, creative engineering solutions across the South Island.

Today, our genuine passion for steel projects is still present in all we do. Whether you’ve already had plans drawn up, or need help with specifications, Division Engineering can step in at any stage, from planning and design to fabrication and installation. This ability to successfully complete even the most complex of projects comes down to our loyal, enthusiastic team.

In 2023, responding to demand for powder coating services in Christchurch North, we set up Waimak Powder Coating next door, providing a convenient and quick turnaround for jobs requiring coating. In 2024, we established the brand Wilford Walker for our custom internal steel doors, so popular at the moment.
