Engineering Design Services in Melbourne
Custom structural and civil engineering design solutions built on forensic expertise and best practices. Our design services combine innovative engineering solutions with practical experience to deliver structures that are safe, compliant, and built to last.
Engineering Design Excellence
Our engineering design services are uniquely informed by our extensive forensic engineering experience. Having investigated hundreds of structural failures and building defects, we understand what can go wrong and design solutions that prevent problems before they occur. This forensic insight gives our designs a practical edge that purely theoretical approaches often lack.
We provide comprehensive structural and civil engineering design services for residential, commercial, and industrial projects across Melbourne, Victoria, NSW, and Queensland. Our qualified Chartered Professional Engineers (CPEng) ensure all designs comply with Australian Standards, the National Construction Code (NCC), and local authority requirements while optimizing for constructability, cost-effectiveness, and long-term performance.
From foundation systems and structural framing to complex drainage solutions and specialized engineering challenges, we deliver design solutions that balance technical excellence with practical implementation. Our designs are thoroughly documented, clearly detailed, and supported by comprehensive certification and professional indemnity insurance coverage.
Concrete Footings, Strip Footings & Foundation Design
We specialise in designing footings and foundations for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Whether you need concrete footings, strip footings, or custom house foundation systems, our certified structural engineers ensure compliant and cost-effective solutions.
Why Footing Design Matters
Poor footing design can lead to settlement, cracking, or total structural failure. Our building footings are designed based on geotechnical recommendations and long-term performance standards.
