Craig began work as a cadet structural drafter in 1985 after working freelance in a number of casual positions after finishing school in 1982. Since then he has moved from Townsville (NQ) to Sydney (1988-1995) where he met Bindi, married & bought a small farm which they have been developing since 1993 with the main focus on hazelnut production, environmental sustainability & wildlife conservation.
In 1995 they relocated to Wagga Wagga & Craig joined HTL Reinhold (formerly Hughes Trueman Ludlow), then joined the Mott MacDonald group in a company merger in 2010. In 2014, the Wagga Wagga branch split from the MM group to be better able to focus on local projects as Peter Kennard Consulting.
David returned to Wagga Wagga in 2018 and teamed up with Peter Kennard Consulting Engineers to further grow an already established consulting office. He brings a wealth of experience and new design strategies after spending 5 years working in London on some famous heritage listed buildings (Somerset House and Trocadero), extravagant homes and an award winning gallery Tate St Ives, Cornwall (RIBA National Award and RIBA Sterling Prize Shortlist).
David worked closely with Sam Price of Price & Myers, to design stone, precast concrete and timber cantilever staircases. This is a technique not well known in Australia and he would like to incorporate these elegant designs into building designs across the region.
David graduated in 2011 on scholarship with the Roads and Traffic Authority in Australia. He joined Peter Kennard in Wagga Wagga at Hughes Trueman & Mott MacDonald as an undergraduate in 2009, before joining them again full-time in 2011. David worked on a number of residential developments in the area, as well as commercial projects such as:
De Bortoli solar upgrades
Walnut processing facilities
TransGrid transmission tower assessments
David joined Price & Myers in 2013 after moving to London, and has worked on a variety of projects including:

Peter has over 40 years experience in structural engineering and is actively involved in the design, documentation and site supervision of industrial, commercial and residential buildings, and health and education facilities.
He has provided consulting engineering service to the Riverina since 1982. After a successful 26 years in Wagga Wagga as the sole country director of Hughes Trueman, and a 3 year contract in Wagga Wagga as a divisional director of Mott McDonald, the office and staff became Peter Kennard Consulting in 2014. Peter continues to service his clients as a consulting structural engineer and provide personal structural advice to clients across Wagga Wagga, Griffith and Sydney in his field of expertise.
Although working 3 days per week since 2014, Peter has ensured that the office is always fully staffed and remained accessible to his clients. In 2019 the office professional staff expanded with the addition of David, a senior structural engineer, to cover an increased workload and grow the practice.
Peter’s aim is always to provide quick, economical and practical structural design solutions.
