CONSULTING STRUCTURAL & CIVIL ENGINEERS

DESIGN PRINCIPLE

OUR HISTORY

Every structure has its unique reason for existing, along with associated commercial, design and site imperatives. We canvas alternative designs before arriving at the most appropriate engineering solution for a project or client.

It's a necessary part of the engineering & value management process, and one that we take seriously. ​ When we engineer a structure, we take our cues from architecture, the site, and the construction environment.

Natalie O'Brien

Graduating in the same class from the University of Adelaide, Jon and Richard collaborated over the years on interstate projects.

After both had departed from major national consulting practices to strike out as individual practitioners, Richard continued working on projects in both Melbourne and Adelaide. Whilst Jon, based in South Australia was designing projects in Victoria.

With a common view on engineering and design practice, they identified the philosophies that would define the new firm, Drew Rudd Engineers:

• The theory is no substitute for common sense backed up by sound engineering judgement" - R. F. Warner​

• Think Outside the box

• ​​Realise the concept economically - from design to construction
