Structural Engineers

Welcome to Steel Construction New Zealand Inc. (SCNZ).

Structural steel boasts many inherent features that make it an excellent construction solution:
– It is a resilient material with proven performance in harsh conditions such as earthquakes
– Thanks to its high strength-to-weight ratio structural steel has the ability to span considerable spaces
– Its ‘buildability’ allows a smooth transition from architectural concept to engineering design
– It can be erected quickly to meet tight construction programmes in almost any weather conditions
– It can be easily modified in time to satisfy changing requirements.
Importantly, besides being a structurally versatile and adaptable material, New Zealand-fabricated steel offers a quality, precision, low-risk solution.
