Our Company

Structural Engineers NZ (SENZ) was established in 2007 after CEO Ted Dowdall relocated from the UK, bringing decades of experience in structural engineering.

Originally focused on residential projects, SENZ has steadily expanded to deliver structural engineering solutions across residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure sectors. Our team played a key role in the Christchurch Earthquake rebuild, providing assessments, repair designs, and temporary works.

With extensive expertise in seismic assessment and strengthening, SENZ has helped clients navigate complex regulations and avoid unnecessary costs. We collaborate with a nationwide network of engineers and maintain strong ties with the University of Auckland’s School of Engineering to stay at the forefront of innovation.

Today, SENZ continues to grow alongside New Zealand’s construction sector, delivering reliable, cost-effective, and forward-thinking engineering services.
