In addition to our work with industry, our team are also actively working in the background between projects, conducting laboratory testing and research to produce reports and publications in their respective specialist fields.

Handbook for the Design of Modular Structures
Prof. James Murray-Parkes, Dr. Yu Bai, Adam Styles & Angela Wang
This was initially instigated by Prof. James Murray-Parkes, Prof. Yu Bai, Adam Styles, Angela Wang, Monash University, the Victorian Government, and various industry partners.
This handbook was the first of its kind in the world, providing integrated solutions and experiences to industry, government and the community including: Design for performance; Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA); and Regulatory compliance.
AEFAC (Australian Engineered Fasteners and Anchors Council)
Various clients
2012-present
The Australian Engineered Fasteners and Anchors Council (AEFAC) is an industry initiative which seeks to improve the design and specification practices around structural anchors and fasteners.
It was instigated by the work of Prof. James Murray-Parkes and Prof. Emad Gad.
How to Design a Structure
Multiplex
2018
The How to Design a Structure publication was instigated by Prof. James Murray-Parkes and the team at the Multiplex Engineering Innovations Group.
The book outlines the progress, evolution and solutions to structural design alternatives made by James and his team between 2013 and 2018. It provides an overview of the wide range of opportunities for alternative design and optimisation which are present in projects in spaces from modular construction to tall buildings and more.
