Our structural services
Masterplanning and schematic design
We support you in achieving your overall project vision by providing early structural, spatial and civil drainage advice during masterplanning and schematic design. Our team stress test different solutions and translate these ideas into graphical representations. This help stakeholders visualise the project and make informed decisions before progressing to the next phases of design.
Value engineering and alternative tender design
Value engineering and alternative tender design enable a more efficient and cost-effective approach to project development, benefiting both asset owners and contractors. Our team has in-depth knowledge and experience of different construction materials that can help you reduce costs while maintaining performance and quality.
Design and documentation
Our design teams investigate whether all elements meet the established project requirements and comply with local regulations.
We develop structural and civil design through all phases of your project, from the early design stages to completion. Our deliverables are tailored to suit your project requirements, ranging from a simple review to the creation of 4D building information modelling (BIM) for digital twin asset models.
Construction phase services
Construction phase services play a vital role in facilitating effective project delivery and ensuring that the constructed facility meets the intended design and operational requirements. Key components of this phase include:
- technical support
- quality assurance and quality control
- site management
- design change management
Existing condition audits
We’re experienced in existing building condition audits, remediation studies, capital works planning and design modifications. Key aspects of existing condition audits include:
- assessment of structural integrity
- documentation of systems
- identification of deficiencies
- reporting and recommendations
- capital works planning.
Independent certification and external peer review
Our team carries Australian and New Zealand registrations for independent certification and external peer review, as required by the Australian Building Act and New Zealand Building Code.
Fitout, refurbishment works and seismic restraint
Our team provides gravity and seismic assessments of existing structures, developing efficient retrofit solutions that comply with local regulations.
We also provide design and documentation for fitout and refurbishment projects, including new stairs and voids, penetrations, partitions, ceilings and seismic restraint of building services.
Temporary works analysis
We can facilitate the expedient delivery of major construction projects through fast-track design of ancillary works. These temporary structures provide essential support to ensure safety, stability and efficiency throughout the construction process.
Key aspects of temporary works analysis include:
- design of temporary structures
- load assessment
- safety considerations
- compliance with local regulations
- construction logistics.
Our civil services
Concept and schematic design
Our team provides essential design input at a project’s early stages, expediting your feasibility assessment and enabling informed decision-making throughout the planning process.
Comprehensive design and documentation
We offer complete design services, managing the process from initial planning to the development of 12D/Civil 3D models. This helps to deliver thorough and precise documentation.
Value engineering and alternative designs
We present various design options and offer buildability advice to identify the most efficient approaches. This helps you meet program and budgetary constraints.
Construction
Our technical guidance, onsite monitoring and quality checks help you mitigate risk and maintain project schedules.
Certification and approvals
We independently certify compliance with project requirements and obtain all relevant approvals from authorities to ensure your project meets regulatory standards.
Defect assessment and remedial recommendations
Leveraging our expertise in pavement failure assessment and remediation, we provide recommendations that maximise the potential of your assets through effective rectification strategies.
Expert witness
We offer expert witness services, including site inspections, investigation, document review consultations, report preparation and court attendance.
Specialist civil expertise
Bulk earthworks
We can help manage large-scale excavation, filling and grading operations. We focus on efficient earthmoving practices to optimise site development while ensuring environmental stewardship and compliance with local regulations.
Cut and fill volume estimation
We employ advanced methodologies for cut and fill volume estimation, enabling accurate project budgeting and resource allocation. Our team uses industry-standard software to analyse site topography and deliver reliable estimations that support effective project planning.
Stormwater management plan reports
Our team develops comprehensive Stormwater Management Plans (SMP) which adhere to current regulations and best practices. We assess site-specific characteristics and incorporate sustainable design principles to mitigate flooding and improve water quality, helping to build resilience against extreme weather events.
Water sensitive urban design
We integrate water sensitive urban design (WSUD) principles into urban development projects, promoting sustainable water management practices. Our approach focuses on harmonising built form and natural systems to enhance local ecosystems while addressing stormwater quality and quantity issues.
Flexible and rigid pavement design
Our expertise encompasses both flexible and rigid pavement design, including airfield and industrial pavement.
Stormwater drainage and detention
We design efficient stormwater drainage and detention systems to manage surface runoff and prevent flooding. Our solutions prioritise the protection of water resources while ensuring minimal disruption to existing infrastructure and natural landscapes.
Road alignment and level design
Our civil engineering team specialises in road alignment and level design, ensuring safe and efficient transport networks. We analyse traffic patterns and site conditions to deliver designs that prioritise driver and pedestrian safety while enhancing connectivity.
Streetscape and public realm design
We help to create vibrant and accessible environments that enhance community interaction. Our solutions focus on aesthetics, functionality and sustainability, transforming urban spaces into areas people want to be in.
Infrastructure and utilities upgrades
Our team manages infrastructure and utilities upgrades with a commitment to quality and efficiency. We assess existing systems, identify areas for improvement and deliver practical solutions that enhance services and meet the demands of modern development.
