| 107 Clad in weatherboards, the new three-bedroom, two-bathroom house captures vintage character, but functions as a warm, comfortable, modern family home. Wrightway Construction BUILDING Since 2011, consulting engineers Viden Group has built an enviable track record in Canterbury and beyond as a structural engineering frontrunner on projects large and small. Viden Group has been involved in many exciting projects, including the Christchurch Museum Redevelopment, the Christchurch Metro Sports Facility and the Ryman Northwood Retirement Village. As a trusted industry partner, Viden Group works collaboratively with architects, geotechnical engineers, project managers and contractors from concept design to design development and consent to construction. Directors Tim Day and Mark Patterson are both chartered professional engineers with extensive local and international experience. Sharing their passion for engineering excellence at Viden Group are four other structural engineers and a CAD technician, supported by a small administrative team. Viden Group regularly works with other leading companies, such as Wrightway Construction whose team has long been at the forefront of home repair and other home build services in the Canterbury region. “We’ve built up a great deal of experience assessing a range of existing structures, including residential and commercial buildings, retaining walls, and bridges,” says Tim. “These types of assessments present their own unique challenges, from working with limited original documentation to navigating complex site conditions and ageing materials. “What’s particularly valuable is how this work feeds into our understanding of structural behaviour more broadly. Lessons from existing buildings inform better outcomes in new design work, especially when it comes to seismic resilience and performance. This is where practical experience enhances engineering insight.” In an online testimonial, Wrightway Construction is fulsome in their praise for Viden Group, describing their team as extremely professional and noting the high calibre of their service. Sharing a thirst for knowledge, a drive for excellence and a commitment to collaboration, the Viden team o ers a winning combination of technical precision and real world practicality. “We are continually learning and evolving our approach, with the aim to improve what we do and how we do it. Collaboration is a key part of our process, whether it is clients, contractors or other consultants. That is ultimately what drives better outcomes for everyone involved.” In 2025, Viden Group is focused on expanding their services and creating a genuine point of di erence in their work. “The talented teams we work alongside, like Wrightway Construction, play a crucial role in making that possible, bringing valuable expertise and perspective to every project,” says Tim. “Together, we’re capable of tackling just about any challenge.” Need a practical structural engineering solution for your next project?
