Testimonials

“We have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with Greg and The Engineering Collective. Once committed, they provide a quick response and are willing to work with us like a team member, to provide the optimum solution for the project.”

Wayne Houston - Houston Architects

“Greg and the team at The Engineering Collective have been a joy to work with. They have a good understanding of the key elements of a design and take care to weave their structure around the architectural concept.”

Sam Atcheson - Dorrington Atcheson Architects

"Working with the TEC team has been a breath of fresh air in this challenging industry.

We love the fact they listen to the client and climb on board to see if innovation can be executed. The “can do, let’s see” attitude is what stands them apart from most consultants, who seem to want to put roadblocks up, as what they have always done has worked. We look forward to continuing to innovate together."

Lester Haycock - Trade innovations

"We are very happy with the work Greg provided for our new dwelling. His advice was invaluable, and he delivered innovative solutions that addressed our needs. We would gladly work with Greg again. Highly recommended!"

Stu and Paula - Homeowners

"We have thoroughly enjoyed working with TEC on various healthcare projects at Manukau Super Clinic, Middlemore and Auckland Hospitals. TEC are responsive, diligent in their process and design, and an easy consultant / company to work with for any structural engineering design and compliance. We will definitely be working with them on our more challenging projects in the future as their structural engineering knowledge and execution is of a high level."

Maksim Manko - Heatwave

“The team from European Stone Masons have worked closely with Greg and The Engineering Collective for the past six years. Over that time they have become a trusted partner for our project team, supporting us on most of our builds and have always been approachable, responsive, and easy to work with. They take the time to listen to our concerns and understand our needs from both a construction and façade perspective. Responses are always prompt, practical, and constructive, which makes a real difference when working in a fast-moving environment. Their reliability, flexibility, and collaborative attitude make them a company we genuinely value working with, and we look forward to continuing that relationship into the future.”

Mark Grzybowski - European Stone Masons

“Greg and Zhongwei provided thoughtful and practical structural engineering advice that helped us work through a complex issue with the brickwork in our 1960s home. They were thorough, responsive and easy to deal with, focusing on advice that was both technically sound and commercially aware. All interactions were professional, timely and well considered, and their approach gave us confidence in their findings. We would happily recommend their services.”
