RBR Design Engineering

Design to install

Design it. Engineer it. Build it.

Structural steel fabrication and precision engineering, based in Timaru, New Zealand.

The studio

Design and engineering, under one roof — no handover between them.

Most fabrication work stalls at the handover between the drawing and the shop floor. RBR runs both under one roof: the same team that models a part is the one that proves it will hold its load, then cuts, welds, and finishes it to spec. Recent work includes structural steelwork, security cages, bollards, and stainless fittings for commercial fitouts around Timaru.

How a job runs

01

Brief

Site survey, load requirements, material spec, and the standard the job has to certify against

02

Design

03

Fabricate

Cutting, forming, and welding, done in-house against the drawing set

04

Finish

Galvanizing, powder coat, or raw mill finish, matched to the environment
