Duncan Brown – Principal - Senior Designer

Duncan Brown has over 20 years’ experience in the construction industry as a Civil Designer.

He has worked on projects ranging in size from small school and residential extensions, through medium commercial developments, road and highway design, up to major Re-developments worth hundreds of millions of dollars. All these projects have required him to work in AutoCad and 12d on such things as Road and Drainage design, WSUD, roof drainage design and water storage and re-use.

Duncan’s use of 12d for design has allowed him to model not only the stormwater and sewer associated with these projects, but also other pressure or electrical/communications services, enabling a better coordination between disciplines and a level of BIM, outside the building envelope.

Duncan has managed these projects from Concept through Construction, attending meetings in-house and on-site with other consultants, authorities and clients, with the freedom to run them as required to meet external clients' needs and strict timetables.

He has also set up standards for AutoCad and 12d to suit the Civil Commercial departments of a number of firms, which enabled a significant streamlining of design outputs and improved the quality of the outputs to minimise queries for both the Authority and during Construction Stage.

Notable Projects where Duncan has had the full responsibility of bringing to fruition include South Melbourne Lifestyle Centre, Werribee Plaza re-development including the associated roadworks, Sanctuary Lakes Shopping Centre re-development and Epping Plaza re-development.
