Our planners, architects, engineers, designers, project managers and support staff are at all times ready to assist in developing world-class teaching, research and learning environments. Working closely with the Campus Development Unit (CDU) and guided by the Campus Master Plans, we collaborate with our clients to define, develop and deliver successful projects. Using in-house expertise, we can assist our clients from the inception of an idea through to facility construction and occupation. Our job is to make a complicated process manageable and understandable.
Through the application of best-practice project delivery processes, we endeavour to ensure projects are completed on time, on budget and in accordance with the approved scope and specifications.
