Description

Dunning Thornton are a medium sized Wellington based practice providing structural consultancy services locally, within the region and nationally. We have a reputation for innovative, buildable designs and a practical, can-do approach to problem solving. The DT practice is run by three hands-on directors who remain intimately involved in their projects from conception to completion.

Our broad range of projects demonstrates our wide experience in all types of Structural Engineering. Designing at small residential scale through to multi-storey buildings, theatres and bridges allows us to keep our engineering skills sharp and avoid imposing preconceived ideas or solutions on a project. Our developer clients would not be repeat clients without us providing good value, both in our own services and in our design solutions. Our engineers have demonstrated on numerous projects innovative use of new technologies to provide quality structural and civil engineering services in a cost-effective manner.
