Our philosophy

We’re committed to designing an enduring legacy. The Holmes Consulting philosophy is that every project – from a modest subterranean carpark to a sparkling high-rise – presents the opportunity for engineering excellence. We enjoy the challenge of bringing ambitious design visions to life, and we thrive on solving difficult problems where others have failed.

Our view is that engineers have a responsibility to design robust, resilient structures that stand the test of time. But, it doesn’t end there. We also have an obligation to ensure our designs deliver what our clients – and the people who will ultimately use the structure – need and want: designs that are highly functional, visually compelling, sustainable, and create the desired atmosphere. Capturing the right balance between form and function is our calling card.

To us, engineering is an opportunity to break new ground, but we don’t innovate just for the sake of it. Our creativity’s all about delivering our clients better solutions – helping them achieve their design vision in the most efficient, effective way.

When we get up to go to work in the morning, it’s with a distinct and positive sense of purpose. On each and every project we stretch our minds to find bold new solutions, revelling in the advancement of thinking and technology along the way. When people ask us why we do it, the answer’s pretty simple: we love combining the art and science of engineering, and getting to call it ‘work’.
