  Rincovitch Consultants is a specialist structural engineering consultancy providing the highest quality building design and construction phase.Rincovitch Consultants was founded in the mid-eighties by Angelo Rincovitch, who quickly gained a reputation among developers and builders for his unique and pragmatic approach to structural engineering. His dedication to efficiency and constructability made him a key figure in Melbourne’s load-bearing precast building construction “renaissance” in the nineties, which influenced the design and construction of multi-story apartment buildings thereafter.In 2014, Rincovitch decided to expand its services to the NSW market, where it achieved remarkable success in a short period of time. Subsequently, offices were established in Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory, with equally impressive accomplishments.Today, our firm is led by four directors: Harry Lambis, Charbel Nasr, Matthew Willis and Chris Iannuzzi. With their extensive experience, skills, and hands-on approach, they ensure every project meets the high standards expected of Rincovitch projects.The Director Group is supported by a talented team of structural engineers and design draftspersons who are dedicated to fulfilling client needs. They take pride in producing high-quality documentation and providing professional services that consistently exceed expectations. Show less
