Angelo Rincovitch

Angelo Rincovitch founded Rincovitch Consultants in the mid-1980s, progressively building a strong reputation among developers and builders for his pragmatic and innovative approach to structural engineering. Driven by a passion for efficiency and constructability, Angelo played a pivotal role in the 1990s “renaissance” of load-bearing precast construction in Melbourne. His work significantly influenced the design and delivery of multi-storey apartment buildings across Victoria thereafter.
