How we work
At the heart of our business philosophy is a desire to develop long term partnerships with clients through the delivery of high-quality projects that are on time and within budget. This philosophy shapes all of our business decisions and ensures that for each project we commit to, the resource implications are fully understood.
We now have a network of Consultants (our Associates) and partner organizations, all with a lean management structure and similar values and work ethics. We can, therefore, tailor our resources to suit specific project requirements and can add specialist services where required. We can work on projects of varying sizes from the one-off inspection to multi-million dollar new builds with engineering teams scaled to suit.
Our back-office support and systems allow our project engineers as well as our associates to focus on project delivery and build on-going relationships with clients as we all have an interest in delivering successful projects.
All projects undertaken by the company will be managed by one of our consultants who will lead the civil/structural design and be the prime client contact and interface with other project team participants.
We believe that clients and project developers need a degree of certainty concerning engineering scopes and costs. Where project scopes are well defined, we can provide lump-sum fees; alternatively, where scopes are less well defined, we can work on hourly rates with a maximum estimated fee value.
