We have an extensive amount of civil/structural and building design experience on a wide range of projects, including residential houses, commercial buildings, multi-storey buildings, car parking structures, retail projects, fast foods restaurants, warehouse developments, industrial structures, storage reservoirs, bridges and retaining wall structures. In addition, we have been involved in numerous refurbishments and upgrades of existing buildings, including heritage buildings. Our design services include building structure, site civil works and building design. Sub-consultants may be engaged for specialist services such as geotechnical investigation, fire engineering, building services and electrical design. We also provide specialist civil/structural design services for architectural practices and have been engaged as a sub-consultant on numerous projects. On larger projects we have worked effectively as part of a team of design professionals under the direction of a lead architect or project manager. Our involvement with construction companies has given us an intimate knowledge of construction techniques and costs. This knowledge is put to good use in arriving at cost competitive and innovative solutions. We are able to prepare feasibility studies, alternative designs and temporary works design.

Our director, Andrew Pont, remains closely involved with each project from inception to completion. He is widely experienced in New Zealand design and construction practises and is highly motivated to ensure accurate documentation is produced in a timely manner.
