TEAM - DIRECTOR

Daniel Ma is a Chartered Professional Engineer with over 10 years’ experience across both the public and private sectors, including as a Senior Structural Engineer at Auckland Council.

He adopts a practical and client-focused approach, delivering economical and buildable solutions with a strong understanding of regulatory requirements, approval processes, and construction challenges.

He is often engaged during the early conceptual design stage to identify project constraints and develop practical, buildable solutions, particularly for sites affected by existing infrastructure such as public pipelines. This early involvement helps facilitate approvals, including coordination with authorities such as Watercare, while reducing the risk of delays and re-design during the building consent stage.
