Professional engineering solutions built on solid experience.
I handle mechanical and structural design and CAD work for manufacturers, tradies, and product builders who value meticulous attention to detail and reliable, high-quality results.
01Who’s behind it
My name is Michael and I have 15+ years designing and drafting mechanical and structural work across South Africa and New Zealand – I’ve been fortunate to work across a wide range of fields, including bulk-material handling equipment, industrial tanks and vessels, conveyor systems, structural steel, marine deck equipment and specialist transport gear. Alongside that, I’ve taken on independent contract projects for years too, ranging from custom architectural lighting and fixtures to HVAC components and composite watersports gear. I’ve enjoyed the variety, as each field brings its own design challenges to work through.
I have engineering diplomas in mechanical and structural draughting – I am not a registered engineer, and I’m upfront about that. Where a job needs a stamped Design Verification, I bring in a partner engineering firm to get it signed off.
Parametrix is currently a side project alongside full-time work as a Mechanical Designer – I’m taking on select jobs now, with the aim of growing this into something bigger over time.
02What I do
Mechanical Design
3D modelling and mechanical design for equipment, machinery and bulk-material handling systems.
Structural Drafting
Structural steel design and drafting, from concept through to fabrication-ready drawings.
Reverse Engineering & Scanning
Turning site measurements or 3D laser scans into accurate, fabrication-ready models.
CAD & Documentation
Manufacturing drawings, BOMs and project data packs, ready for the workshop floor.
Need it signed off? For jobs that need a stamped Design Verification, I work with a partner engineering firm to get it certified – so you get independent design plus a proper sign-off when it matters.
