Our story
IDC was founded on a simple idea: projects run better when the people designing them work side by side. Today we are an integrated studio of architects, engineers and surveyors serving clients across Auckland and beyond.
Our approach
Traditionally, a building project means appointing an architect, then a structural engineer, then a civil engineer and a surveyor, each with their own programme, priorities and fees. Information is passed from one to the next, and every hand-off is an opportunity for delay or misunderstanding.
We do things differently. Our disciplines share one office and one design model, so the structure is considered in the first sketch, levels and drainage are understood before the floor plan is fixed, and consent documentation is coordinated by default.
What drives us
We are proud of the buildings and communities we help create, and of the long-term relationships we have built with homeowners, builders and developers. Many of our projects come from repeat clients and referrals, and that is the measure of success we care about most.
