Our Expertise

house-drawings

We are working on all engineering aspects of large and small building projects including and not limited to the following:

  • building structural analysis for all types of loading in accordance with Australian building standards’ requirements;
  • stormwater drainage systems design;
  • geotechnical analysis, structural design and detailing of foundations, basements, slabs-on-ground, retaining walls, shoring systems;
  • design and detailing of reinforced concrete, prestressed or post-tensioned structural elements (columns, walls, beams, suspended slabs, etc);
  • steel framing elements and connections detailing of any complexity;
  • precast concrete structures including tilt-up panels, connection detailing;
  • masonry, timber and cold-formed steel framing structures.

Among a wide range of buildings and facilities we are specialized on, there are the following examples of our expertise:

  • individual dwellings, extensions, renovations, alterations and additions to existing buildings;
  • subdivision property developments (units/townhouses);
  • low-rise and multy storey residential and commercial properties;
  • light industrial developments including warehouses, sheds, etc;
  • retail properties;
  • car parks;
  • hospitals, schools and other public developments.

We are well experienced and confident users of the following software packages being widely used in our work:

  • RAPT,
  • RAM CONCEPT,
  • ETABS,
  • MICROSTRAN,
  • AUTOCAD.
