ABOUT US
We are engineering a better tomorrow
Solutions for a sustainable future
B+W is a strong, multidisciplinary practice, led personally by a hardworking group of experienced Directors who take a hands on approach with all projects. We take a creative approach to our work, resulting in a long list of high profile, landmark projects. With resources of over 60 technical staff, we have the capacity to fully resource each project to meet the required deadlines or to accelerate the time frame required.
STRUCTURAL
Project focused engineering excellence
Structural engineers are integral to exceptional buildings that shape and define the Queensland landscape. Our work provides the bones for the finishes, building profile, aesthetic, and usability of a space – those things seen and enjoyed by the community.
Without consulting structural engineers, those exceptional buildings shaping Queensland just wouldn't exist. Our structural engineers apply critical analysis, design smarts and an understanding of building materials to determine the best outcome for a project.
Whether it is a concrete framed high rise or a steel framed warehouse, Bornhorst + Ward collaborate and engage effectively with clients, consultants, and builders to deliver structurally and economically sound results. With clients coming back to us time and time again, our reputation as a trusted advisor in this discipline speaks for itself.

CIVIL
Laying the groundwork for connected, sustainable communities
As civil engineers, our work is vital to ensuring structures stand the test of time.
We design, build, and maintain infrastructure projects including roads, drainage systems, buildings, and dams.
We apply innovative physical and scientific principles to pre-emptively determine what factors will impact the structure and adapt the structure to suit.
With an understanding and forethought of how the natural and local environment influence the built environment, our clients have the confidence to move forward knowing that their buildings work from a civil engineering perspective, for now and for the future.

Main Roads
Roadworks (major and minor)
Stormwater Drainage (Including Management Plans, ESD, WSUD, hydrological and hydraulic studies)
Industrial, Residential and Rural Sub-Divisions
Local Area Traffic Management
Water Supply and Sewerage

DIGITAL
Pragmatic solutions and innovative approaches
Everything is better in 3D. By creating a 3D digital representation of a project’s physical and functional characteristics, Building Information Modelling (BIM) provides project teams and non-technical stakeholders with a “real-life” visual understanding of the project and its complexities.
BIM allows project teams to collaborate directly on a 3D platform, which improves workflows throughout a project’s design, documentation, and operation stages.
Every project is different; we work with our clients to understand how BIM can benefit them.
Our Digital Engineering expertise:
Ability to visualise a project preconstruction
Awareness of coordination and clash detection
Reduced cost
Enhanced risk mitigation
Better scheduling and sequencing
Greater productivity and opportunity to utilise prefabrication
Safer sites and better buildings
Improved facilities management
