The organisation
A consultancy established in 2005 and incorporated in 2011, covering water resources and ecosystem management, architectural, structural and transport design, retrofitting and new construction, soil investigation and improvement, and the supply of engineering and soil investigation equipment, with work for United Nations agencies and government bodies.
What the site has to do
This is not a site that converts browsers. It is read by someone assembling a shortlist for a tender, and what they need is disciplines, past projects and documents they can attach to a file. Consultancies usually fail that reader by writing one page of prose about capability. The structure here is built the other way round: each discipline is separately navigable, projects and portfolio are separate sections rather than a single gallery, and the paperwork sits in a downloads section instead of being requested by email.
What we built
A corporate site organised by engineering discipline, with distinct project and portfolio sections so completed work can be cited without hunting, a downloads area for the documents a procurement process asks for, and team and client pages under About. The registrations and long term agreements the firm holds are stated as text so they are searchable and quotable, not locked inside a PDF.
