Core services
Engineering that solves the problem on site.
We focus on practical, cost-aware outcomes that are straightforward to document, approve and construct.
01
Soil testing & classification reports
Site classification and engineering information to support appropriate footing design and residential construction decisions.
View service 02Residential footing designs
Footing and slab design developed around the site, structure, construction method and applicable engineering requirements.
View service 03Retaining wall designs
Engineered retaining wall solutions with attention to loads, drainage, geometry, material selection and buildability.
View service 04Structural designs & details
Timber, steel and concrete engineering for new work, alterations and project-specific structural requirements.

Cost-aware by designEngineering should be technically sound and practical to construct.
The Maxwell way
Good engineering is more than a calculation.
Our approach combines technical rigour with clear communication and a strong focus on constructability. The aim is simple: produce an efficient outcome that works for the client, designer, builder and project.
PeopleAccessible advice and direct communication.
ProcessStructured review, design and documentation.
PartnershipWorking with stakeholders, not around them.
TechnologyModern tools applied where they improve outcomes.
How projects move
A straightforward path from brief to build.
Every project is different, but a clear engineering process makes decisions easier and reduces unnecessary back-and-forth.
Assess constraints
Identify relevant loads, ground conditions, geometry, materials and construction constraints.
Engineer the solution
Develop practical calculations, details and documentation suited to the project.
Help through delivery
Clarify technical items and respond to project questions where engineering input is required.
Your engineering team
Direct access to the people behind the work.
Clear communication is part of the engineering service, not an extra step added at the end.
