- Optimized Structural & Civil Modeling: 3D FEA (Finite Element Analysis) stress modeling ensuring materials (structural steel, LVL, Glulam, reinforced concrete) are sized efficiently for seismic and wind loads under NZS 1170.
- Quality Assurance & Construction Monitoring: Issuing formal PS1 (Design) Producer Statements for Building Consent and conducting on-site engineering inspections to issue final PS4 sign-offs for Code Compliance Certificates (CCC).
