Jon Short – Principal / Designer












Jon has been Design Draughting for 21 years.

He has spent 9 years drawing manually and 12 years on AutoCAD & now Revit. Jon is a multi-skilled Designer able to work both in architectural and structural disciplines.

His construction and systems knowledge is very strong having worked on site on numerous large commercial projects in Auckland. The highlight of which being Sky City Casino, Sky Tower and the Royal Sun Alliance Office Tower. Although based in Tairua, Jon also works remotely throughout the country such as in Auckland, Tauranga, Taupo and New Plymouth.

Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Resource Consents, Surveying and Fire Engineering Design are no problem for Jon as we provide these services too, ensuring continuity and completeness to your project. No more running around from consultant to consultant because we will look after the complete package for you. This saves you time & money.

Jon believes there are too many designers out there who have no practical experience and therefore no construction knowledge. Having worked on site for many years as a troubleshooter on some of the largest construction projects in the country and spent time on the tools, Jon has the strength of hands on experience. As a result Jon designs and details with the builder and limitations of construction materials and practices in mind, which balances up nicely with his creative and innovative design solutions.

Jon is the only Designer on the Coromandel Peninsula holding a Design 2 Licence with the Department of Building and Housing. Jon is also a full Professional Memeber of ADNZ  “Architectural Designers New Zealand Inc”. This provides surety regarding  the quality of professional that you will be dealing with.
