The home of the cohesive team, there are no closed doors in our corner of the office. We collaborate on our projects from the ground up, from junior drafters and graduate engineers up to the commercial manager. And we don’t stop there, because the most important person we collaborate with is you, our client. Our team recognises that together we are far greater than the sum of our parts.

We value opportunities to get involved on a project early on during concept and schematic stages and we love having the opportunity to carry our projects through to the design and contract administration stages. Have a look through some of the exciting projects that we’ve been lucky enough to contribute to and then give us a call so we can get started turning your concept into reality.

If we’re not explaining how something works then we’re probably not talking. We live and breathe our work so you’re just as likely to find us playing with a miniature 3D model of one of our designs as you are to find us bent over a calculation pad.

Our multi-skilled team of thinkers has a wealth of experience in areas such as designing and verifying tanks, pressure vessels and pipes and providing detailed design and drafting for the manufacture of mechanical equipment including materials and mineral processing, earthmoving equipment and ancillary equipment. Check out some of our projects for more exciting details then get in touch and let us turn your concept into reality.

We might rock up to work in a collared shirt and freshly pressed pants but we’re the team that’s likely to have soil samples on our desks next to your drawings. The trusty steel caps are never far away so when you need us on site we’re straight out the door, ready to get dirty.

Our team has extensive experience in tricky soil types, especially around the Perth Hills: clay; rock; sand – you name it, we’ve done it. 2 lot subdivision? 200 lot subdivision? No problem, we’ll tackle any size and any place. Check out a few of our projects (if you need some convincing) then give us a call so we can turn your concept into reality.
