Who we are
Kini Consulting is a disciplinary company that operates across the mining, engineering, infrastructure, and built environment sectors.
Originally founded as a Quantity Surveying practice, our early involvement in mining-related capital and operational support projects revealed the need for structured, safety-driven mining services. This led to our strategic expansion into mining and engineering support, incorporating skilled teams, technical capability, and production-aligned services.
