- Finding that engineering and fabrication suppliers across Dunedin, Christchurch, and Central Lakes specialise in standard items, requiring you to coordinate between multiple sources for custom handrails, stainless benchtops, and structural steel components?
- Working with fabricators who excel at creating impressive drawings but need external engineering support to calculate load requirements, material stresses, or performance specifications for your specific conditions?
- Discovering that many workshops focus on standard metalwork production, requiring additional specialists when projects involve brass fittings, copper pipework, or aluminium components with precision tolerances?
This industry fragmentation costs you time, money, and quality—which is why smart project managers come to Connor Jones Group for trusted engineering specialists who actually solve problems. We design it, engineer it, and build it in our own workshop. Your custom fabrication services project gets handled by people who understand both the physics and the manufacturing reality. No more chasing suppliers, no more hoping different components will work together, no more discovering that beautiful designs can’t actually be built. Tom Connor takes personal responsibility for every custom solution, backed by our ‘Built Right First Time’ Promise.
Engineering design services here mean real solutions, not just pretty pictures. We calculate loads, specify materials, design connections, then manufacture everything to work exactly as planned.
Your fabrication project deserves engineers who can actually build what they design.

Workshop Engineering: Where Design Meets Reality
Real structural engineering and fabrication means understanding what happens when theory meets the workshop floor. Your custom steel pivot doors need to swing smoothly after 10,000 cycles. Your stainless benchtops must withstand commercial kitchen abuse. Your conveyor systems have to run reliably in dusty, demanding environments. We engineer for these real-world conditions, then build everything ourselves to ensure it actually works.
Our workshop handles everything from delicate brass fittings to heavy structural steel, often on the same project. Recent work includes custom handrails for heritage buildings where every piece needed different specifications, tank manufacturing for food processing where hygiene standards drove every design decision, and pipe work systems where thermal expansion calculations determined every joint location. Complete engineering solutions mean we solve the whole problem, not just the easy parts.
In-house engineering fabrication eliminates the finger-pointing that happens when designers blame manufacturers and manufacturers blame designers. When something doesn’t work, we fix it—because we’re responsible for both the engineering and the building.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our in-house engineering fabrication facility handles everything from delicate brass fittings requiring precise tolerances to structural steel beams weighing several tonnes—often on the same project.
Our engineers work in the workshop daily. They design solutions knowing exactly what our equipment can build, preventing the expensive surprises that happen when designers work in isolation.
Our experienced fabrication team specialises in unique projects requiring innovative engineering design services. We build solutions others consider impossible or uneconomical.
Our trusted engineering specialists supervise manufacturing directly in our workshop. Quality control happens throughout the process, not just at final inspection.
We provide structural engineering and fabrication across Dunedin, Christchurch, Queenstown, and Southland, with our own crews handling installation to ensure proper performance.
Workshop engineering means improvements happen immediately when our fabricators identify better approaches during manufacturing, keeping your project on schedule while improving quality.
Our 'Built Right First Time' Promise
Most fabrication problems happen because designers and manufacturers never talk to each other until something goes wrong. We eliminate this by having the same people engineer your solution and build it. Your engineering and fabrication in Dunedin project gets designed correctly because the engineers know exactly what our workshop can deliver. When something needs adjustment, it happens immediately without costly redesigns or delays.
