"I had the pleasure of working with David from McKinnon Consulting Engineer Pty Ltd on a complex heritage restoration project in the heart of Hobart's CBD. David was instrumental in developing the core structural strategy that enabled us to deliver a technically challenging renovation. His communication was excellent throughout, and he showed a genuine willingness to adapt to both the site conditions and strict heritage constraints. What really stood out was his collaborative approach - always open to discussion, solution-focussed, and committed to achieving the best outcome for the client. I was really impressed and will be looking no further than David and his team for future projects."
