Our Approach
Our Approach:
Respect, Curiosity, Creativity,
and Understanding
At ad.structure, our approach is founded on a deep respect for the client and the process of home design. It’s inspired by our love of homes and helping people bring their vision to life. We pride ourselves on going beyond the surface, digging deeper into what’s important to our clients—not just answering the questions they ask, but asking the questions they may not have considered yet.
While many firms simply provide a set of documents, we advocate for a more holistic approach. Our goal is to create homes that are not only structurally sound but also liveable, with thoughtful design, exploring alternate solutions—offering options that might work better without sacrificing what’s most important to the homeowner.
Bringing your Vision to Life
From the outset, we engage with homeowners—even at the fee proposal stage—to understand their needs, goals, and vision. We help them define their path, so they don’t get stuck in an endless cycle of decisions that drain their resources and leave them emotionally and financially committed to a project that doesn’t suit their budget. We ensure that clients start from a place of clarity, asking: “Is it possible? What are the next steps?”
By helping clients understand the structural implications of their renovation early on, we provide a roadmap that shows what’s feasible within their budget and design aspirations. We simplify the process, empowering clients to make informed decisions rather than blindly following a path that might not align with what they can afford.
Our Expertise:
The Intersection of Design, Regulation, and Budget
Having worked in this industry for 17 years, we’ve learned that the key to successful home renovations lies in finding the intersection of three factors: design intent, regulatory constraints (like Council regulations and building codes), and budget. At ad.structure, we help homeowners navigate these three areas to identify solutions that meet their needs while remaining within their financial and structural limits.
Rather than just fulfilling a brief, we aim to be a strategic partner, guiding clients through the entire process—from design conception to project completion. We don’t just hand over engineering documents and walk away. Instead, we work alongside the entire design team—builders, architects, and homeowners—ensuring every decision aligns with the bigger picture.

Communication & Collaboration:
Keeping Clients in the Loop
Clear communication is a cornerstone of our service. We actively involve homeowners throughout the process, keeping them informed of progress and ensuring they are included in critical decision-making. This collaborative approach not only keeps the project on track but also gives homeowners peace of mind, knowing they have a say in how their project evolves.
We help homeowners avoid common pitfalls—such as being locked into a design that doesn’t suit their budget—by taking a step back to understand their true goals. Our clients trust us because we work with them, not just for them. It’s a partnership built on transparency and collaboration, where we advocate for their best interests at every turn.
At ad.structure, we believe that engineering isn’t just a support function—it’s the lifeblood of good design.
Our tagline, “For Engineering That is The Lifeblood of Design,” speaks to the critical role that structural integrity plays in creating homes that are both beautiful and functional.
Our clients don’t see engineering as a roadblock or another expense, but rather as a way to unlock the potential of their design, bringing it to life in a way that works—both structurally and aesthetically.
