Rod Bligh
Bligh Tanner works at the interface between architecture and engineering. We work very closely and collaboratively with architects. They expect a lot from us. It's a challenging and rewarding working relationship.
We're closely involved from the early stages, and we have a lot of input into the design process. This has fostered strong relationships with leading architects. The majority of our work is repeat business and referrals.
We have a unique mix of expertise and we undertake a broad range of work. Everything going out of the office has to be the best it can be—that's always been the underlying objective.
