Product overview

Beca is a New Zealand-founded, employee-owned engineering and consulting services firm operating across Australasia and the Asia-Pacific. Rather than a single unified software product, Beca offers a portfolio of interconnected services organized around multi-disciplinary engineering, advisory, and digital solutions. The core offerings span advisory services (investment decision support, project management, cost advisory), engineering disciplines (civil, electrical, power systems, green buildings), and specialized capabilities (Smart Buildings, BEYON digital platform, Digital Innovation Hub, Rapid Climate Risk Assessment Framework). The TE AHI TŪTATA advisory service provides Māori cultural expertise integration. Projects range from major infrastructure (Waterview Connection tunnels, Hunter Transmission Project) to water treatment (Victorian Desalination Plant) and renewable energy (Mt Mercer Wind Farm, Australian solar farms). The BEYON platform and Digital Innovation Hub represent Beca's digital and innovation capabilities, while the RCRAF tool demonstrates their climate risk assessment methodology.
