L+R are a leading professional services firm, proudly delivering technical business solutions through personalised service.
Who are L+R?
L+R is an Australian owned and operated, multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy. Our broad spectrum of services means that our clients are able to engage a single firm to fulfil all of their engineering requirements. We are geared to administer either specific aspects or a total package of professional, scientific and management services.
Our aim is to deliver a unique and personalised service to each of our clients, irrespective of the size of their project or the specialisations involved.
We believe total satisfaction can only be achieved through a combination of innovative thinking, efficient design and coordination, complete documentation and a strong commitment to the achievement of our clients’ goals. This philosophy is embraced by all members of our team, in all of our offices across Australia.
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.

Controlled growth through sustained organic expansion and strategic acquisitions.
