Our experience in the commercial/retail sectors of the industry covers all aspects of construction methodology types from steel-framed roofs and walls to conventional, composite and post-tensioned concrete, glass curtain walling to precast and tilt-up facades.

The key to commercial/retail design is the ability to optimise space through design innovation. James Ellis & Associates Pty Ltd uses composite and post tensioned floors to provide the commercial/retail space with maximum headroom and open internal spaces. Our understanding and extensive knowledge of the various structural systems available enables architects and the design team to produce the most cost-effective solutions to commercial building challenges.
