01 / Structure
The frame and the envelope, held by one team.
Engage a structural engineer and a façade specialist separately and the gap between them becomes your risk. STRUST is a Sydney studio that holds both, so the building is engineered as a single system.

The wedge
Most façade failures are really structural failures.
Hold the structure and the envelope in one studio and the riskiest interface in the building stops being a coordination problem. Three things a builder or developer can take to the bank.
One team holds both disciplines
Structure and façade designed together, so the interface that usually causes delays and disputes is resolved before site, not on it.
Compliance built in
DBP-ready documentation, NCC weatherproofing and independent peer review on exactly the work that gets audited.
Senior engineers on the job
Director-led delivery. The people who win the brief are the people who detail it, with 26 years behind every call.
Capability
One studio, the whole envelope.
Engaged us for the façade? The same studio holds the structure, peer review, temporary works and building physics. One brief, fewer interfaces.
Structural engineering
Concept to construction for towers, infrastructure and complex residential.
Façade engineering
Curtain walls, cladding and structural glass. Watertight, compliant, buildable.
Temporary works
Propping, shoring and staging that keep the program moving safely.
Computational fluid dynamics
Wind, pressure and thermal modelling for high-performance envelopes.
Building physics
Thermal, condensation and weatherproofing analysis to NCC performance.
Peer review and blast
Independent design review and resilience engineering for high-risk work.
Value engineering
Buildable, cost-aware alternatives that hold compliance, not compromise it.
Product development
Façade systems and details developed with fabricators and installers.
