  • Send your architectural plans, survey, any existing engineering, photos, and any council or certifier correspondence. You don't need to know which engineering discipline you need. We'll review the information and confirm the scope.

  • Both. We work with building designers, builders, architects and homeowners, from early concept advice through to construction.

  • We focus on residential projects across Sydney's Northern Beaches, North Shore, Eastern Suburbs and Inner West, and can assist with projects elsewhere in Greater Sydney.
