Our History

Our Origins

Established in Brisbane in 1982 with just five staff, L+R initially concentrated in the structural engineering sector. Following a business merger in 1994, our business grew rapidly with the creation of new divisions, with our client base experiencing the same growth.

Building our Offering and Reputation for Service

From the beginning, L+R have always enjoyed a position of esteem as a focused and reliable practice, respected by clients and known for ‘going the extra mile.’ Our reputation, along with our marketing focused business model, has enabled us to expand our offering to include a broader range of services, from solely Structural Engineering in 1982, now to Aviation, Business Advisory, Civil Engineering, Defence Consulting, Environmental, Hydraulics, Infrastructure Engineering, Mining, Project Management, Structural Engineering and Traffic + Transport Engineering.

Our Vision

"L+R will achieve national, industry recognition through professional engineering, and the scientific and management services provided by our people"

We will achieve this by:

Recognising our people are company's key asset and ensuring not only their satisfaction, but opportunities for growth and success.

Providing the best possible professional environment and create an enjoyable workplace and excellent rewards for our staff.

Delivering a professional service which is focused on technical leadership, personal service and innovative and efficient solutions.

Seeking opportunities to diversify our services to meet the rapidly changing requirements of our clients and responding decisively to those opportunities.

The application of high standards and attention to detail in everything we do and each project we undertake.

Controlled growth through sustained organic expansion and strategic acquisitions.

Accessibility

Our Commitment To Accessibility

A number of accessibility features have been implemented across our website to make the website more accessible to people with visual, motor or cognitive disabilities. Below are some enhancements to our website that we consider beneficial to our users:

Links

  • All links are text-based. If an image is used for any link, techniques are used to keep the text within the code so they are still text-friendly for screen readers, text-based browsers and for those who browser with styles off (this included consoles that cannot render cascading style sheets).
  • All link rollovers are high-contrast so they are easily distinguished from regular text and headlines that are not clickable.
  • Link content text is contextual when possible (eg. Instead of ‘more’, the link may read ‘more recent news’) to make navigation easier for screen readers.
