Brevity was engaged for their expertise in interior seismic design for ceilings and partitions for Ockham's development, The Greenhouse.

As a recent graduate, Devante has thrown himself into his new role as a Brevity Interiors Engineer. Devante loves the fast paced, accelerated learning environment at Brevity.

Dive into the essential updates to the AS 4084:2023 standard, guiding steel storage racking systems, with our comprehensive webinar. Join industry experts Gye Simkin and SIA Senior Engineer as they unravel the latest changes and what they mean for the design, operation, and maintenance of racking structures. Discover the impact on load capacities, seismic load calculations, and the new operational guidelines set to enhance safety and efficiency. If you're a professional in the racking industry, this session is pivotal to ensuring your systems are compliant and up-to-date.

Brevity have worked with Ockham on a number of projects over recent years, and with a shared vision for working smarter, Brevity and Ockham have developed systems for efficiency from the design phase through to construction.

Essentially, every decision made is crucial to our success, and yet we want our people to make these decisions autonomously. We enable our team to do this with confidence because behind each of these decisions sit our three Brevity values.

Michael is from the US. During his engineering degree he took a holiday to NZ, found himself in a Covid lockdown and is still here.

This webinar examines the growing need for C2 rated seismic anchors in New Zealand's commercial interiors due to new regulations. While these anchors enhance safety and compliance, they also pose challenges in terms of cost and installation.

During an earthquake, the weight of a suspended ceiling needs to be transferred back into the structure above. This is achieved through bracing systems which are designed to ensure the safety and stability of the ceiling, protecting it from potential collapse or damage caused by the shaking and movement of the ground.

The concept of a shorter work week has been gaining momentum in recent years, with companies recognising the potential to enhance employee satisfaction, boost productivity, and reduce burnout. Brevity has taken this idea a step further by integrating a unique philanthropic component into our work schedule. We want to go beyond productive work, to make it purposeful as well.

During an earthquake, a building experiences a lot more movement than normal. Objects inside the building also experience this movement. In designing for seismic restraint, engineers undertake a series of measures and techniques to stop or reduce the movement of structures and equipment during an earthquake.

Starting in August last year, Brevity was one of 20 companies from New Zealand and Australia to take part in the Four Day Work Week pilot (4DWW). In the initial trial we were experiencing high demand for our work. However, in a recession, where you can’t rely on 100% capacity, this is less of an accurate measure. 

Brevity excels in interiors engineering and seismic design, guiding construction professionals through complex regulations with a proven four-step process. Our tailored solutions, quick responses, and ongoing support ensure your project's success. Experience precision, efficiency, and superior service with Brevity, your trusted partner in seismic design.

Robotics are changing the landscape; providing opportunities to improve productivity, safety, and quality in interior construction.

This episode of our Brevity Technical Webinar series provided an insightful overview of the importance of construction monitoring for PS4s, the rise of remote inspections, and how to schedule a remote inspection.

Ceilings come in all shapes, sizes and designs, and depending on a range of factors, the seismic design may change to ensure they are structurally sound in the event of an earthquake.
