Testimonials

Some Kind Words From Our Clients

Hamilton Engineering delivered a complex 32-ton steel installation for our residential development with absolute precision. From quotation to final assembly, their attention to detail and compliance with regulations gave us total confidence. They are our go-to partner for structural components, no matter the scale.

Stan O’Hora Developments

Structural Steel & Construction

We commissioned Hamilton Engineering to replace an unsafe fire escape at a multi-storey property. The team managed everything – removal of the old structure, fabrication of a new compliant design, galvanised finish, and installation. Building Control passed it first time. Their reliability on safety-critical projects is unmatched.

Fire Escapes & Safety Installations

As an artist, I needed a fabricator who could take a sketch and bring it to life at a monumental scale. Hamilton Engineering not only engineered the structure but also collaborated with me on design refinements, installation, logistics, and finishing. Their craftsmanship turned vision into reality.

Hamilton Engineering fabricated a series of large stainless steel cleaning tanks for our production line project in Germany. Their ability to work with specialist alloys, meet strict tolerances, and coordinate international delivery made the process seamless. We now consider them a trusted engineering partner.
