Real Impact: Engineering Specialist Facilities that Enhance Australia’s Defence Capability

An Australian owned business, we’re passionate about supporting those who support us.

That’s why we support Australia’s defence industries to ensure their highly specialised facilities are fit for purpose. Whether we’re meeting the demand for high tech manufacturing site in Queensland, designing hangers for cutting-edge aircraft in New South Wales, designing sophisticated communications antennas in Victoria, or administration buildings up and down the east coast of Australia, we bring our combined extensive defence industry and 40 years of industrial and logistics experience to every project.

This approach allows us to provide clients with commercially and technically efficient structures that meet the highly specialised requirements and, because we have local relationships throughout Australia, accelerate infrastructure permit approvals.

Optimised Structural Designs

We work with D+C builders to develop cost-competitive tender designs. We utilise proprietary specialised software that allows us to optimise our designs within the tight time frames required during tenders.

Bigger Picture Approach

We work with developers and project managers to take a precinct-wide approach to site servicing, levels, and sustainability.

Getting On Site

We keep up with the fastest moving sector in the industry, able to turn around designs quickly to meet your programs.

Future-Focused and Material Efficient

We’re at the forefront of new construction approaches, including timber office design and custom steel section sizes that use 15% less steel than conventional rolled sections.

Overcoming Site Challenges

Our multi-disciplinary team help you manage risks and constraints, including complex loading (hail, cyclonic, flood), geotechnical issues around contamination and performance, and site servicing, ahead of design development.
