We’re bucking the stereotype of the reclusive engineer hiding out in an office – our vibrant culture is always open and responsive to creativity and big ideas. Around the design table, you’ll find our experts throwing great new concepts around, combining their unbridled passion for structures with our trademark attention to detail. It’s that great culture of creative collaboration that’s helped us become the benchmark for ground breaking, high quality engineering in the NZ market, with an ever-growing international reach.

When you work with us, you’ll find our creative buzz infectious. We love partnering with inspiring stakeholders, developers, architects and contractors, always bringing the Holmes Consulting intelligence and ingenuity we’ve built our name on. Our approach is communicative and responsive – you won’t find us staring at our feet and mumbling into our chests, and we’re unashamedly positive in the face of difficult engineering challenges.

Underpinning our culture of energy and enthusiasm, you’ll also notice a deep commitment to doing things right. Quality has been a cornerstone of our culture for over 60 years, and that focus has never wavered. We’re forever in pursuit of engineering perfection, but we balance that with the practicality and pragmatism real-life projects demand. When we’re on a project, you can trust the veracity of our thinking, and our ability to anticipate and design for potential challenges. Lyall Holmes set a high bar for quality all those years ago – and we’ve been steadily raising it ever since.
