Our Process

Initial Consultation

We begin with a free consultation to discuss your vision and understand your project’s scope. Whether you’re building a new home, renovating an existing space, or adding a granny flat, our engineers will be here to answer your questions and guide you through the design process.

Collaborative Design

We’ll work closely with you and your architect (if applicable) to translate your architectural plans into a structurally sound and functional design. This collaborative approach ensures your dream home meets your aesthetic desires and adheres to all building codes and safety regulations.

Detailed Engineering Plans

Once the design is finalized, our skilled engineers will meticulously develop detailed structural plans. These plans will clearly outline the foundation, framing, beams, and other structural elements required for your project’s safe and stable construction.

Client Review & Approval

We believe in clear communication throughout the process. Before finalizing the plans, we’ll present them to you for review and answer any questions you may have. Your approval is essential, and we’ll work with you to ensure the plans meet your exact requirements.

Frequently asked questions

We now have an FAQ list that we hope will help
you answer some of the more common ones.

How much do structural engineers charge?

A structural engineer’s hourly cost starts at around 75 AUD per hour but can exceed up to 250 AUD an hour for complex projects. But obviously, these costs can be higher or lower depending on the area and structural engineer’s experience level.   

Do I need a structural engineer or a builder?

If you have to complete a construction project or some structural changes, you’ll require a structural engineer as well as a builder. A structural engineer will design and assess the structural elements, and your builder will construct your building based on the design. 

What is the difference between a building engineer and a structural engineer?

A building engineer usually supervises various aspects of a building project including structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. On the other hand, a structural engineer designs and analyses the structural components of a building and ensures that the building is safe, stable, and compliant with the relevant local council codes. 

Can a structural engineer design a building?

Yes, a structural engineer can design the structural components of a building like the foundation, beams, columns, and load-bearing walls, and make sure that the building is sound and secure structurally. However, they usually collaborate with other professionals and architects to integrate their structural design into the overall building design.
