Hawthorn Geddes engineers and architects ltd is the largest locally owned multi-discipline practice in Northland with our head office located in Whangarei. We maintain a level of staff that allow us to complete our projects with the appropriate manpower to meet the required high level of quality within a given time frame. The number of staff is approximately 20 but this number may vary with our workload. We also have available to us several contract workers who we can call on if required and relationships with other practices on whom we can call for specific expertise. All our staff participate in continuing professional development in order to keep our organisation's knowledge up to date. All the Directors operate "hands on". Each project is assigned to a dedicated director who is responsible for all associated work.
