We're proud to have engineered this impressive mezzanine floor for Westgate Flex Gym, creating valuable new floor space while maintaining the open, functional feel that every gym needs.

This project featured:
✅ A custom-designed two-way steel moment frame.
✅ No braced walls or diagonal bracing, allowing completely open spaces below.
✅ Slim steel columns that maximise usable floor area and improve aesthetics.
✅ Steel stud framing integrated into the overall structural design.
✅ A robust, efficient solution tailored specifically to the client's vision.

Designing a structure without traditional bracing takes careful engineering and detailed analysis, but the result speaks for itself—an open, modern training space with outstanding structural performance.

If you're planning a commercial, industrial, or residential project and need innovative structural solutions, we'd love to help bring your vision to life.

📍 Proudly designed and engineered in New Zealand by HD Structural Engineers.

We’re thrilled to share that one of our clients was featured in NZ’s first onsite 3D-printed home, a major milestone in New Zealand construction! This innovative four-bedroom concrete home was built layer by layer using onsite 3D printing technology, showcasing faster construction, durability, sustainability and design flexibility that points toward the future of housing.

As the structural engineers behind this project, we provided the engineering design and support to ensure the structure met performance, safety and compliance standards — helping bring this pioneering vision to life. It’s exciting to see modern engineering integrating with next-gen construction methods like this, and we couldn’t be more proud of the outcome. 🏗️✨

Homeowners get a much better deal with a 3D-printed concrete house than a standard weatherboard build, says Auckland master builder Kirill Ilin.
