No more running around from consultant to consultant because Jon will look after the complete package for you saving you time & money.
Jon believes there are too many designers out there who have no practical experience and no construction knowledge creating detailing & buildability problems during construction increasing the risk of leaks & costs to the client. Having worked on site for many years as a trouble-shooter 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 practical limitations of construction materials and practices in mind, which balances up nicely with his creative and innovative design solutions.
Jon's strengths are in detailed analysis & solutions to technically difficult projects or problems. "We often land the steep or technically difficult jobs that others don't want because people know that we can resolve them & design the best solutions for them."
Jon was one of the first designers in New Zealand to achieve a Design 2 Licence with the MBIE 9 years ago in 2008.
