The firm's reputation and expertise has grown out of investigating and advising on building on difficult ground conditions.
 
The company have staff specialising in surveying, supervising and reporting on ground investigation and Geotechnical design. There is also a general Geotechnical expertise within the firm as a whole.
 
Generally, they supervise trial pitting themselves, which allows them to see the ground conditions first hand and subsequently give advice based on their own findings rather than relying on the opinion of others. The team employ drilling and other specialist contractors when necessary to investigate deeper ground, or when a site dictates that specialist methods be used. They believe this approach has resulted in having particular expertise when advising on ground conditions, and enables them to provide economical designs for foundations on difficult sites.
