We are specialists that provide structural engineering services for residential, civic and commercial clients.

Personalised and direct involvement into the project by our team of experienced engineers is central to our delivery model.

Our approach to every project is unique and holistic, beginning with a full understanding of the project drivers. Each engineering solution is tailored to meet the specific needs of our client and their site, and our expertise and experience allows us to offer practical and cost-effective solutions for even the most complex architectural designs.

Our Experience

We have extensive experience across a broad range of complex building projects in the residential, commercial, education, retail and industrial building sectors. We have worked with some of New Zealand’s pre-eminent players in the property sector, and with many of the industry’s leading architects, consultants and contractors.

Our aim is to leverage our expertise on projects of the right scale, enabling us to provide not only high quality designs and advice, but a personalised and responsive service to our clients and their projects.


Who we work with

Our approach to structural engineering solutions and the successful delivery of projects is based on our ability to create effective partnerships with both clients and specialist consultants – architects, project managers, contractors and fabricators.

We believe that collaborative project teams create the best outcomes for our clients. We relish the opportunity to understand the project drivers, present our ideas, work out solutions to unique problems or to contribute holistically to a project beyond just the structural engineering.

To ensure we meet all our clients’ engineering requirements, we can also partner with civil and geotechnical consultants for the geotechnical and civil expertise needed.

Our collaborative and responsive approach to each project is complemented by our extensive knowledge of construction – both here and overseas.
