about us
We provide for all aspects of structural engineering design work
Lough Associates was founded in 2018 by Steve Lough, previous director of Lewis and Williamson and Lough Downey Ltd.
From our Albany base, Lough Associates can carry out structural design on projects throughout New Zealand, from small domestic size buildings to large multi-million dollar commercial and civic developments.
The engineers at Lough Associates take ownership of their work. We like to stay involved a project, from preliminary design right through to construction observation, and eventual sign-off. Ever ready to respond to on-site situations, we work closely with contractors to maintain projected costs and timeframes.
