| Structural engineering | |
| Our team of experienced structural engineers understands the importance of efficient and economic design for commercial, residential and industrial buildings. We’ve undertaken a range of structural designs — from high-end, geotechnically challenged cliff-top houses to public bridges, tilt up commercial design, buildings with multiple stories, retaining walls and other specialised structures.

| Structural assessments | |
| Our assessments determine whether buildings are structurally sound — helping prospective homeowners and real estate investors verify the appropriateness of their purchases. If a fault becomes evident down the track or as a result of erosion, flood or subsidence, our team of chartered professional engineers can assist. |

| Civil engineering | |
| Our professional engineers appreciate the critical role of research to governing parameters of job sites, including geotechnical, landscaping and traffic impacts. Civil engineering design and construction projects we’ve tackled range from subdivisions with two to 225 lots and encompass earthworks, water, roading and ponds. We can assist with stormwater management, including flood reports, SMAF (stormwater management areas: flow) calculations, recharge pits and stormwater mitigation devices often required by local territorial authorities. We also have specialist engineers to design and detail on-site wastewater treatment options. |
