Samaras Structural Engineers and they were lucky enough to be involved with the builder right from the outset. The company was able to offer their value-engineering services right from the design stage, and Chris partly credits their successful result to that fact. He also credits the award-worthy product to the company’s other stakeholders – their skilled staff members, as well as their dedicated roster of subcontractors and suppliers. As part of their mission statement, Samaras aims to form exceptionally strong relationships with both those groups. They want to be both an employer of choice as well as a customer of choice. “We have very good relationships all around,” Chris says. “It’s very easy to just focus on your customer relationships, because they’re the ones paying you the money, but that’s not our attitude at all. We take a very collaborative and partnership approach with everyone we work with. We like to go back to the same people, because that culture translates to good quality and good performance.” In the future, Chris says Samaras will continue to subscribe to that philosophy, and continue delivering successful results on iconic projects like Adelaide Oval as a result. “Projects like that one are right up our alley,” he explains. “There are only a handful of fabricators in the country that can do those, because they are so architecturally complex and the fabrication requirements are so precise. You need a certain skillset, level of competence, capacity, and capability in order to deliver – and that’s what Samaras Structural Engineers has.”
