Our Company

About Structural Engineers NZ Structural Engineers NZ (SENZ) is a leading structural engineering company in NZ that provides innovative and reliable solutions for complex construction projects. Initially, the company was established in 2007 following the relocation of our CEO, Ted Dowdall, from the UK. Notably, he brought decades of international structural engineering experience to the New Zealand market.

Our History and Growth Originally, our firm focused primarily on residential projects. However, SENZ has steadily expanded over the years to meet growing demand. Today, we deliver expert structural engineering solutions across the residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure sectors nationwide.

Our Commitment to Engineering Excellence

Our team played a critical role in the Christchurch Earthquake rebuild. During this time, we provided vital assessments, repair designs, and temporary works. Because of this extensive hands-on experience, we possess deep expertise in seismic assessment and strengthening. Consequently, we help our clients navigate complex building regulations while avoiding unnecessary costs.

Furthermore, we maintain strong ties with the University of Auckland’s School of Engineering to stay at the forefront of industry innovation. In addition, we often engage in projects during the early concept phase. As a result, we can provide strategic advice that improves project economy and safety.
