What Taylor Thomson Whitting does

Taylor Thomson Whitting (TTW) is a privately-owned Australian consulting engineering firm established in 1959 and headquartered in North Sydney, with a secondary office in Melbourne. The firm provides multidisciplinary engineering consulting services spanning five core disciplines — structural, civil, traffic, façade, and construction engineering — augmented by six specialist service lines: digital, applied science, heritage, timber, physical security, and re-engineering. TTW serves twelve market sectors including healthcare and research, transport and infrastructure, defence, government and public, education, commercial workplace, arts and culture, sports and leisure, retail, hotels and resorts, residential, industrial, and data centres. The firm has accumulated 800+ industry awards and reports over $5B in cumulative project revenue delivered across its history.

TTW operates a project-based B2B professional services model, engaging directly with architects, developers, builders, and project managers on complex construction and infrastructure engagements. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service engineering consulting on a project-by-project basis, with pricing tailored to scope, complexity, and client requirements (not publicly disclosed). The firm's go-to-motion is enterprise field sales driven by reputation, referrals, and portfolio credentials rather than outbound marketing. Active international project delivery spans Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam in addition to the domestic Australian market. Notable clients include the University of New South Wales, Macquarie University, Westmead Hospital, the Australian War Memorial, Atlassian, Salesforce, Sydney Metro, The Star Sydney, and IKEA. TTW has publicly committed to reducing embodied carbon emissions in its designs by 50% by 2030, embedding sustainability across design and operational decisions.

Direct peers

• Aurecon: Australia-headquartered multidisciplinary engineering consultancy offering structural, civil, façade, and infrastructure engineering to public and private clients across Australia and APAC. Direct head-to-head competitor to TTW on most major Australian building and transport infrastructure tenders.
• GHD (Gutteridge Haskins & Davey): Employee-owned Australian engineering, architecture, and environmental consultancy offering structural, civil, and infrastructure services across Australia and globally. Closely comparable Australian-origin firm with similar multidisciplinary model and ownership structure.
• SMEC (Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation): Australian-headquartered engineering consultancy focused on infrastructure, transport, and urban development with delivery across Australia and SE Asia. Direct comparator on transport, bridges, and roads work — areas where TTW also competes for government and developer clients.
• BG&E Engineering: Australian engineering consultancy providing structural, civil, and façade engineering across buildings, transport, and resources. Privately-held Australian competitor with similar size, geographic focus, and multidisciplinary building engineering model to TTW.
• Robert Bird Group: Australian structural and civil engineering consultancy with international offices delivering major building, transport, and infrastructure projects. Comparable on structural depth, prestigious project portfolio, and selectively overlapping client base with TTW.

Broad incumbents

• WSP Australia: Global professional services firm (parent WSP Global) with a sizable Australian engineering consultancy practice spanning structural, civil, traffic, and façade. Overlaps directly with TTW on Australian building and transport work but operates from a vastly larger global platform with broader service breadth.
• AECOM Australia: Global infrastructure consulting firm with substantial Australian operations across transport, buildings, and environmental engineering. Competes with TTW on large-scale transport and defence infrastructure projects while offering a wider portfolio (design, program management, environmental).
• Arup: Global engineering consultancy with strong presence in Australia across buildings, transport, and infrastructure design. Direct overlap with TTW on structural and façade engineering for major building projects; differentiated by larger international R&D and specialist practices.
• Parsons Corporation: Global engineering and defence infrastructure firm with growing Australian presence, active in transport, defence, and critical infrastructure. Competes with TTW on defence and transport tenders while operating at materially larger scale and offering program management beyond pure engineering consulting.
• Stantec Australia: Global engineering, architecture, and environmental services firm with operations in Australia spanning buildings, transport, water, and energy infrastructure. Competes with TTW on multidisciplinary building and infrastructure engagements, differentiated by larger global platform and broader water/environmental offering.
