About this service

Structural Engineering

From residential buildings and commercial developments through to complex industrial and infrastructure projects, our structural engineers develop solutions that are safe, efficient, buildable and cost-effective.

We work closely with architects, developers, contractors, project managers and other engineering disciplines to ensure structural considerations are integrated into the project from the outset.

Our approach is focused on delivering structures that perform throughout their lifecycle while meeting relevant New Zealand standards, Building Code requirements and project-specific objectives.

What we do

Structural Engineering Services

Structural Design & Analysis

Every project presents different structural requirements. We develop designs that respond to the specific characteristics, function and architectural intent of each building or structure.

Our services include:

  • Structural analysis and design
  • Structural calculations
  • New building design
  • Commercial and industrial structures
  • Residential structural design
  • Structural steel design
  • Reinforced concrete design
  • Timber structural design

  • Foundation and substructure design
  • Structural framing systems
  • Seismic design and assessment
  • Structural detailing and documentation

Commercial & Industrial Structures

GDC Group provides structural engineering services for commercial, industrial and large-scale building projects.

We understand the importance of balancing structural performance, constructability, programme and cost.

Our engineers work with project teams to develop efficient structural systems that support the architectural and functional requirements of the building.

We can assist with:

  • Commercial buildings
  • Industrial facilities
  • Warehouses
  • Manufacturing facilities
  • Office buildings
  • Retail developments
  • Multi-storey structures
  • Structural steel systems

  • Structural remediation
  • Producer statement support

Seismic Engineering & Structural Assessment

New Zealand's seismic environment means that structural resilience is an important consideration for both new and existing buildings.

GDC Group provides structural assessments and engineering advice to help clients understand the performance and condition of existing structures and identify appropriate strengthening or remediation options.

Our services include:

  • Seismic assessments
  • Existing building assessments
  • Structural condition assessments
  • Seismic strengthening
  • Structural remediation
  • Earthquake damage assessments
  • Strengthening design
  • Structural performance reviews
Design for Constructability
GDCGDC Group · Structural Engineering

Design for Constructability

Good structural engineering considers more than calculations.

At GDC Group, we consider how a structure will actually be constructed, including material selection, construction methodology, access, sequencing and installation.

Our designs are developed with constructability in mind, helping to minimise unnecessary complexity, reduce rework and support efficient construction.

Where appropriate, we also consider modular and prefabricated structural systems that can improve construction efficiency, safety and cost control.

Integrated Engineering
GDCGDC Group · Structural Engineering

Integrated Engineering

Structural design rarely exists in isolation.

GDC Group works across multiple engineering disciplines to provide coordinated solutions for complex projects.

Our structural engineers collaborate with:

  • Geotechnical engineers
  • Civil engineers
  • Water infrastructure specialists
  • Architects
  • Building services engineers
  • Contractors
  • Developers
  • Project managers

This integrated approach helps ensure structural solutions are coordinated with the wider project requirements.
