Run by consulting engineers, for consulting engineers
Your engineering insurance experts
Welcome to the CEAS website
This website has been developed to help New Zealand consulting engineers to manage risks associated with providing professional services to the public. Many consulting engineering practices are members of CEAS, some since 1966 when CEAS was founded.
CEAS is prominent in its support of the profession at large, particularly by cooperating with Engineering New Zealand and ACE New Zealand to formulate Agreements for Consultant Engagement. If you're a consulting engineer we invite you to apply for membership of CEAS and learn about the benefits that membership can bring to your practice.
CEAS is a professional society, wholly NZ owned and operated.
