The firm of Gandy and Roberts Consulting Engineers was formed by Jim Gandy and Clive Roberts in February 1985, and in July 1993 the partnership was converted to a Propriety Limited company.

In September 2001 Clive Roberts retired as a director of the company and David Visentin was appointed as a director. In July 2002 Adam Richards was appointed as a director. Then in January 2008 Jim Gandy stepped down from being a director to continue working in a full time staff role, as Richard Lawrence and Colin Terry were appointed directors.

The company is wholly owned by the directors. The directors are working structural and civil engineers and are directly involved in the engineering of projects.

The firm appreciates the importance of well qualified and experienced staff with a strong support team, and has been fortunate in retaining an expert design team capable of servicing the largest building projects in Tasmania.
