Building or extending? We design the structure and produce clear engineering documents your builder and council can rely on. Plain communication, sensible engineering, no fuss.
Whether it is a new home or an extension, we produce the structural design and documentation your project needs to get a permit and get built.
Clear structural drawings and supporting computations for your build, issued in PDF and DWG format, ready for permit and construction.
Footing and slab design suited to your site and soil, including reactive clay sites common across Melbourne.
Beam, lintel, steel member and bracing design for openings, spans and load paths, including removing walls in renovations and resisting wind and racking loads.
Retaining wall design for sloping sites, landscaping and split levels, engineered for the conditions on your block.
Send through your DWG plans and soil test, or just a description. We review what is needed and send a clear fee proposal and scope. No soil test? We can organise one.
We carry out the structural design and computations, and prepare the drawings your builder and council need.
You receive clear structural documentation in PDF and DWG format, with a Regulation 126A certificate of compliance, all reviewed by a Chartered Professional Engineer and ready to build from.
To design the structure, we need to understand the building and the ground it sits on. That means two things to begin:
We work from your architectural or draft plans, provided in both PDF and DWG format. If you are working with an architect or building designer, they will usually have these.
A soil test tells us about the ground conditions on your site, which is essential for footing and slab design. Melbourne sites are often reactive clay, so this matters.
If you do not have a soil test, we can arrange one for your site as part of the scope, so you have one less thing to chase up.
Do not have DWG plans? Send through whatever you have and we will let you know what is needed to proceed.
Request a fee proposalWe work with builders and building designers across Melbourne on residential projects. Responsive, practical engineering that keeps your jobs moving.
Send through architectural or draft plans and we will turn around a fee proposal and structural scope quickly.
Request a fee proposalTo begin we need your architectural or draft plans in DWG format and a soil test for the site. If you do not have a soil test, we can organise one for you as part of the scope.
If your project changes the structure, such as removing a wall, adding a second storey, or building an extension, you will usually need structural design and documentation. Send us your plans and we will tell you what is needed.
Yes. We regularly work alongside building designers and architects, taking their plans and producing the structural design and documentation to suit.
Every project is different, so we provide a fee proposal on request. Tell us about your project and we will send a clear proposal and scope with no obligation.
Yes. Footing and slab design for reactive clay and sloping sites is common across Melbourne, and we design to suit the conditions on your specific block.
Every set of documents is reviewed by a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng, Engineers Australia) before it is issued.
