Notable Project: Bespoke Barnhouse and Distillery Building
TECL was contracted to provide Professional Engineering design services for a set of custom composite timber, steel and concrete buildings, involving prominent timber beams and open gabled structure.
We worked directly with the Architect and Contractors to ensure budget viability, efficiency of construction and aesthetic outcomes.
Design Services
TECL’s Building Design services incorporate all the investigative work, modelling and documentation required to break ground. We work directly with our Clients and Architects to achieve their vision.
We’re experts at designing buildings for efficient and practical constructability. We take into account factors like site access (for crane, plant, or component size), limitations of concrete formwork, environmental effects and many other not so obvious considerations by relying on our sound experience.

We also have the capacity and experience to act as Engineer to the Contract, where we remain impartial to both Principal and Contractor and guard the requirements of the contract as foremost.
