With a solution-focused approach, we collaborate closely with clients and consultant teams to align on scope, time frames, design objectives, and cost. We’re committed to delivering a strong return on your investment. Are you interested in our work in the commercial and industrial sectors?
The saleyards' alignment with the natural topography required a cover designed to match the levelling contours precisely. Also, maintaining uninterrupted saleyard operations was critical, so we developed a staged construction plan to complete the project efficiently without causing disruptions.

Boyle indoor dressage arena and stable complex
Our client, a dedicated dressage rider and trainer in Scone, NSW, approached us for a combined indoor dressage arena and stable complex to prevent weather disruptions. Her vision focused on horse and rider safety with a shallow roof gradient to blend with her existing property infrastructure. The incorporation of a curved roofline was our solution to achieving an unobtrusive roof design.
With the ever evolving technology of today, it is not surprising that the future of construction will be relying on 3D printing, prefabrication and modulation. These concepts are gaining traction, and becoming more viable in the construction industry. These new construction approaches will improve accuracy and efficiency on large scale projects.
Prefabrication is defined as a process where building components are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site. Modulation is a larger version of this, where an entire part of a building may be constructed off-site. These practices are expected to achieve better precision, simplicity and customised in building with reduced costs.
Modulation is already able to construct sound buildings for permanent or relocatable use for various different construction types and purposes.
Using a 3D printer in construction practices involves a series of steps. First the printer needs to be transported to site where it will automatically construct the building using mechanically cut bricks or concrete. Compared to traditional methods of construction, 3D printing is an effective way of reducing human error. It can also substantially reduce energy consumption used in the building process.
Currently 3D printing technology is limited in providing construction materials that are compatible with the process. Further research and development is needed before 3D Printing can be used commonly in architecture.
As always, new technologies bring about new contractual issues and considerations. The same risks are applicable to every form of contract used for a particular project. These need to be carefully considered to ensure risk allocation is accurate under the contract.
