Healthcare & retirement

We understand the importance of collaborative planning and design for the successful delivery of retirement villages and healthcare facilities. With over 90 years’ experience, we bring local knowledge and the right expertise together across our teams.

HOW WE HELP

Working alongside developers and operators on retirement villages, healthcare facilities and medical centres, from large integrated sites through to multi-staged developments.

Our teams work across civil, geotechnical and structural engineering, surveying, planning and contaminated land. Bringing these disciplines together supports decisions as projects evolve, from early site considerations through to approvals, infrastructure planning and construction support.

01

SITE SELECTION

We support early decisions around site suitability and ground conditions. This can include site assessments and due diligence studies to help inform design requirements.

02

PLANNING & APPROVALS

Planning and consenting often run alongside design. We help teams work through resource management, compliance and approval requirements as designs develop and staging is refined.

03

INFRASTUCTURE

Retirement and care developments rely on a complex network of infrastructure. Our work includes the design of stormwater, water and sewer networks, pump stations, roading and service coordination.

04

CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT

Once construction is underway, we support with construction monitoring and contract administration to ensure works are completed to a high standard.

OUR SERVICES

Our planning team excels in all facets of resource management and planning.

This experience and knowledge provides us with a well-rounded understanding of the consenting process and an in-depth understanding of the applicable rules and regulatory framework.

Our strong, long-standing relationships with key stakeholders further enhance our ability to navigate complex regulatory environments and deliver successful outcomes.

Whether it is overseeing large-scale land developments, facilitating private plan changes, or offering tailored site-specific advice, our planning team is dedicated to guiding your project from inception to completion.

We've been providing professional surveying services for over 90 years.

Our experienced surveying team delivers precise, reliable data to support infrastructure projects of all scales. Using advanced technology and proven methodologies, we provide the certainty required to make informed decisions and keep projects moving forward.

From initial site investigations through to final legal surveys, we work closely with planners, engineers and councils to provide accuracy, compliance and seamless integration across every stage of the project lifecycle.

Delivering resilient and sustainable development and infrastructure.

Our dedicated civil engineering team takes pride in optioneering, designing, construction management, and commissioning a wide range of essential facilities and infrastructure for communities. From residential and commercial developments to three-waters (water supply, waste water and stormwater) and flood protection infrastructure, we provide safe and sustainable environments for our communities.

We design and coordinate essential services and utilities like water supply, wastewater, stormwater, roading systems, power, lighting, telecommunications, and landscape ensuring comprehensive, sustainable and efficient infrastructure delivery

Whatever your geotechnical challenge is – we can help.

Everything starts from the ground up and geotechnical engineering plays a significant role in the early stages of a project.

Our geotechnical engineers investigate ground conditions to determine how the ground is going to respond for use in civil applications including house foundations, subdivisions, roading, infrastructure and commercial buildings.

From structural engineers, architects, landscapers, local authorities and land developers, as an established practice with over twenty years of geotechnical experience, we have a solid reputation for supporting geotechnical needs across projects.

Our comprehensive multi-disciplinary services bring everything together under one roof, helping to simplify the development process and enhance efficiency.

Our structural engineers offer an extensive range of solutions including innovative timber materials, concrete and steel structures, foundation design, seismic assessment and strengthening of existing buildings, insurance reports, damage assessments, construction monitoring and more.

Whether you’re constructing commercial buildings, architectural houses or require retaining wall structures, we have the local expertise and knowledge to guide and support you through every stage of the project.

FAQ

Got questions?
We’ve got answers.

Yes. Much of our retirement village work involves staged developments, where later stages build on earlier site, infrastructure and consenting decisions.

On many village sites, healthcare forms part of the wider development. This can include aged care hospitals, hospital care facilities and private hospital components within overall site staging.

Yes. We support medical centre projects as part of wider consultant teams, working alongside architects and other specialists.

Projects usually involve a combination of planning, surveying, civil, geotechnical and structural engineering, depending on the site and stage of the development.

We work alongside developers and operators, and collaborate with architects and construction teams as projects move through planning, design, staging and construction.
