Initial Site Inspections and Renovation Guidance

We provide initial site inspections and expert renovation advice, including recommendations for wall removals, extensions, and structural modifications involving roof framing or wall layout adjustments.

House Raising and Build Under

We provide expert engineering for ‘Lift-Up & Build-Under’ projects, tailored for Queenslander and timber-framed post-war homes. Our services include strengthening existing bearers or joists to accommodate new column layouts, ensuring a structurally sound and seamless transformation of your new space.

Carports

We provide detailed carport engineering customized to your needs, incorporating various roof pitches, sheet or tiled roofing options, and preferred column layouts for optimal functionality and aesthetics. Our designs can also feature a weatherboard finish to seamlessly complement Queenslander and post-war style homes

Deck Extensions

We provide expertly designed deck extensions that not only support vertical loads but also incorporate essential lateral bracing for enhanced stability, safety, and long-term durability. Ensuring your outdoor space is both functional and structurally sound.

New Home Builds

Detailed structural design and documentation for all elements relating to a new home build such as, but not limited to:

  • Footing design

  • basement retaining walls

  • Wall framing including wind beams

  • Wall bracing to suit horizontal loading

  • Suspended floor framing - timber or steel

  • Suspended concrete slabs

  • Roof framing and tie down

  • Fly over roofs

 

Modifications to Existing Builds

For projects involving modifications to existing buildings, we begin with a thorough initial inspection to assess how the proposed changes integrate with the current structure. This allows us to develop a detailed design and documentation plan, ensuring a seamless and structurally sound transformation.

Residential Footing Design

We provide a variety of footing design solutions to suit different site conditions and soil reactivity, based on site-specific geotechnical reports (reports provided by others). Examples of our footing designs include":

  • Raft Slabs

  • Strip Footings

  • Waffle Pods

  • Piered foundations to suit poor bearing pressures

  • Pad footings or bored piers to suit vertical or horizontal loads

Retaining Walls

Detailed structural design and documentation for block work walls up to 3.2m high depending on geotechnical site conditions.

Structural Form 15’s

Certification of structural drawings to ensure design compliance to Australian Standards.

Structural Form 12’s

Certification of structural inspections in order to ensure construction has satisfied design intent and standard industry practice.
