The practice was established in 1980 and operated under the name Davis Associates Pty Ltd until 1995. In the first decade, practice growth and skills were developed primarily through exposure to the industrial and commercial design and construct market and to various consultancy roles in the structural and civil design of industrial process plant facilities.
In the 1990’s the practice gained exposure to the Asian market undertaking a number of assignments in industrial, commercial, tourism, housing and institutional developments primarily in Malaysia, China and Myanman. Since the late 90’s the practice has moved into more mainstream areas including Retail, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Health. The practice has completed projects in every state of Australia and the Australian capital territory.
