With a substantial portfolio of signature projects, Holmes Consulting is trusted to deliver outstanding structural and civil designs all over the world.

Founded in 1994, we’ve grown to serve global clients from offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Auckland, Wellington, Queenstown, Christchurch, and Hawke’s Bay.
With an evident spirit of collaboration, we pursue technical design to permit the freedom of architectural expression, whether through performance based fire safety solutions or through the pragmatic application of the prescriptive building codes.
Our substantial professional staff offers a ready reserve of talent, experienced in the unique technical challenges of each project. Pairing innovation with applied expertise, Holmes Fire is distinguished for developing superb solutions with matchless reliability.
Holmes Solutions designs, develops and tests products and systems in high risk industries – we pioneer ideas to disrupt competitive commercial and regulatory driven markets.
Obsessive about our clients’ market objectives, and keenly attuned to understand the needs of users, we employ evidence-based engineering to maximise certainty and optimise performance. Simply, we create products that win.
With a global footprint and diversified in our technical skills, we add value across all stages of a product’s lifecycle, from initial feasibility through to final compliance testing. We engineer competitive advantage by developing products that are useful, usable, and desirable; ultimately leading to increased profits and greater value.
The West Coast has long been regarded as a global melting pot for disruptive ideas and novel scientific research and development.
From here, Holmes Structures has served North American clients with structural engineering solutions that offer new possibility for the built environment.
With offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Portland, our love for design is paired with a technical acuity that enables built environments to perform for all. Our approach is all-in, immersing ourselves in client objectives with the highest regard for genuine collaboration.
Reflecting our West Coast ethos, we explore new ideas and leverage emergent technologies to challenge traditional prescriptive code, test for cost savings and minimize the impact of structure on the operation and enjoyment of built environments.
