Approach

Adam, Paul and Alistair are very “hands on” directors and will get involved throughout all significant projects.

Our core values are:

a. Sound design through understanding how a real structure will perform. This includes both the ability to be innovative and being prepared to consider many alternatives.

b. Economy of design. Structures must be affordable and not over designed.

c. Buildability. Structures must be easily and swiftly constructed.

d. Accuracy. The ability to “get it right first time” and take responsibility for our decisions.

e. Teamwork. Interdisciplinary workshopping and encouraging the input of others.

f. Delivery. Consulting Engineers must have the ability and resources to be able to perform to realistic deadlines.

We do not consider that the Structural Engineer is merely there to make the Architect’s vision stand up but rather to be part of a team making input in a wide range of areas. For this reason we believe that the Engineer should be involved at the initial stages of a project.

We have close working relationships with most Architects and Building Services Engineers in Wellington and enjoy the design process where solutions integrate and reflect all parties’ requirements.
