Structural and civil engineering forms the backbone of EPC projects, providing the physical framework and foundational stability essential for successful execution.
This discipline is responsible for designing, analyzing, and delivering structures like buildings, foundations, steel frameworks, and infrastructure systems that meet safety, functionality, and operational requirements.
At Buro Matei, we bring unmatched expertise to structural and civil projects, guided by the extensive background of Matei Kevenaar, a structural and architectural engineer with over a decade of experience in multidisciplinary EPC environments.
For projects in industries like data centers, warehouses, and hospitality, our in-house capabilities ensure seamless integration of structural and civil designs with overall project objectives.

Why Buro Matei
Our experience spans decades in engineering, project management, and procurement, giving us unparalleled insight into the collaborative challenges faced by EPC organizations.
We specialize in designing scalable solutions that grow with your organization, enabling seamless transitions to advanced platforms like Dataverse, Power Apps, and Fabric.
Our approach includes a focus on Lean principles, using tools like SharePoint Lists and Planner to reduce waste and streamline task management across disciplines.
We understand the risks and limitations of traditional tools like Excel and guide teams in adopting SharePoint for improved data quality, traceability, and governance.
We actively engage leadership to align teams with centralized collaboration strategies, driving cultural shifts toward data-driven operations and empowering teams with tailored training and support.
All recommended solutions are internally tested within Buro Matei, ensuring that every feature we deploy is practical, efficient, and results-driven.
Challenges We Solve
Structural and civil engineering teams often face critical challenges, including:
Complex Coordination: Managing dependencies with other disciplines, such as mechanical, process, and electrical, often leads to delays and rework.
Evolving Requirements: Adapting designs to changing project scopes without impacting quality or timelines.
Data Management: Tracking and managing deliverables like foundation layouts, steel structures, and drainage plans across siloed systems creates inefficiencies.
Design Optimization: Balancing material efficiency, structural integrity, and project costs can be difficult without the right tools and workflows.
Compliance and Standards: Ensuring designs meet local and international regulations, including seismic and environmental codes.
