With over 90 years of experience, we understand the value of an integrated approach to design, development and construction. By combining a diverse range of services under one roof, we can streamline processes and help projects stay on track with efficient solutions.
Alastair Wood, Technical Director and Structural Engineer, oversees our Christchurch structural team which works across a wide range of commercial, industrial, residential and civil engineering projects. In this video, he explains how an integrated approach helps streamline projects requiring structural expertise.
He says, “One of the challenges developers meet when dealing with multiple consultants is keeping information flowing between the different consultants to ensure the programme keeps on track and everyone has the right information to be doing their job”.
This is where an integrated approach adds value. By working with one consultant, the structural engineering team can progress in parallel with the architect, allowing both to develop their designs simultaneously.
“The engineering design can proceed at the same time as the architect is developing their design. We can address options and issues during the design process and help the solutions to be determined to get the best, cost-effective design that we can,” explains Alastair.
For both residential and commercial developments, using a team with in-house expertise who take a collaborative approach means your project team is aligned from the start.
