Technical Skills

The practice has a very strong commitment to quality architectural design and realisation.

This is backed-up by robust and proven technical capabilities in design visualisation and presentation; in project documentation and in the integration of project information with project consultants.

HMA has successfully pioneered the use for CAD industry leader AutoDesk's next-generation software - Revit - in New Zealand, and has been invited to consult for Victoria University of Wellington's School of Architecture and AutoDesk NZ and Australia on CAD in practice.

Autodesk Revit is a highly efficient documentation and 3D visualisation and design documentation tool, as well as effectively coordinating information with other consultants.

HMA can partner with technology provider GDL to provide web-based access to project information, which can significantly improve and streamline the coordination of project information throughout New Zealand.
