About the
Professional

Ruamoko Solutions is an award-winning specialist New Zealand based consulting structural engineering firm.

At Ruamoko Solutions, we take structure seriously. It is our passion, and our speciality, and we have developed a reputation for innovative solutions which is reflected in the numerous industry awards we have received. 

Our specialised interest in earthquake engineering and strong ties to cutting-edge research has placed us in a prominent position following the recent Canterbury Earthquakes. We have led the way in pioneering seismic design for the Christchurch rebuild including the first post-earthquake use of base-isolation, PRESSS and other damage avoidance technology, such as the world’s first bolted-link EBF seismic frames.

We understand the team environment and enjoy working as part of a team with architects, owners, developers, consultants and contractors to develop the best all-round solutions for building projects.

Our vision: 

Exceptional results | Exceptional projects | Exceptional thinking | Exceptional people

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
