Projects approved and delivered.

Project Overview

New industrial warehouse requiring a fast-tracked design package coordinated between the builder and steel supplier.

Scope

• Geotechnical investigation
• Pavement design
• Grading and civil site design
• Footing and bored pier design
• Structural timber and steel design
• Drafting and full documentation package

Challenge

Full design package delivered on schedule. Steel detailing aligned with the supplier's preferred member list, and pier design matched the builder's existing machinery — eliminating procurement delays and rework.

Contribution

Integrated civil, structural, and drafting coordination aligned all design decisions with supplier and construction constraints from the outset.

Outcome

Full design package delivered within the three-week deadline. Steel detailing aligned with the supplier's preferred member list, and pier design matched the builder's existing machinery — eliminating procurement delays and rework.

Project Overview

New customer-facing shop and carpark on an existing wine estate, requiring large-scale stormwater compliance and Council Building Consent.

Scope

• Geotechnical investigation
• Pavement design
• Large-scale stormwater MUSIC model per SMDG
• Civil cut and fill site design
• Structural timber and steel design
• Footing design
• Council engagement for Building Consent
• Calculation notes for approvals
• Drafting and plans

Challenge

Stormwater compliance for a development of this scale typically requires significant on-site infrastructure such as table drains or swales — features that consume usable land and add cost.

Contribution

Developed an alternative MUSIC model and drainage strategy that satisfied SMDG compliance without traditional table drains or swales, then engaged Council directly to secure Building Consent.

Outcome

Drainage compliance achieved without consuming usable site area, reducing build cost. Council Building Consent secured.

Project Overview

New 100 m² carport and shed extension for a private homeowner, requiring full design, documentation, and council planning and building consent.

Scope

• Light gauge steel (LGS) design
• Footing design
• Drafting and plan documentation
• Structural calculations for council approval
• Council coordination for planning and building consent

Challenge

Compressed timeframe requiring coordinated design, documentation, and council engagement to meet approval deadlines.

Contribution

Integrated structural design, drafting, and council engagement under one team — removing handoffs between consultants and aligning all documentation with planning and building requirements from the start.

Outcome

Planning and building consent secured within the homeowner's deadline.

Project Overview

New 70 m² granny flat for a private homeowner, requiring full geotechnical, structural, and drafting design alongside council planning and building consent.

Scope

• Geotechnical investigation
• Bored pier design
• Floor design (bearers and joists)
• Timber frame design (walls and roof)
• Drafting and plan documentation
• Council coordination for planning and building consent

Challenge

Compressed timeframe requiring coordination across geotechnical, structural design, and documentation to meet approval deadlines.

Contribution

Coordinated geotechnical, structural, drafting, and council engagement in a single workflow — ensuring all documentation arrived complete and consistent at first submission.

Outcome

Coordinated engineering and documentation delivered on schedule, supporting a smooth council approval process without RFIs.

Project Overview

Refurbishment of an existing café, requiring coordinated structural design, drafting, and council engagement to support timely approval and minimise disruption to business operations.

Scope

• Timber frame design
• Drafting and plan documentation
• Council coordination for planning and building consent

Challenge

Compressed timeframe requiring coordinated design and documentation to meet approval requirements and minimise disruption to business operations.

Contribution

Coordinated structural design, drafting, and council engagement as a single workflow — prioritising rapid turnaround to protect the client's business continuity during refurbishment.

Outcome

Approval-ready documentation delivered on schedule, enabling timely council submission and avoiding delays to the refurbishment program.

Project Overview

Multi-residential apartment development requiring specialist balustrade design and compliance documentation for council approval.

Scope

• Balustrade design
• Structural calculations for council approval
• Drafting and plan documentation

Challenge

Project-specific constraints and material requirements requiring precise design and documentation to meet compliance and approval standards.

Contribution

Delivered precise balustrade design and compliance documentation aligned with project-specific constraints and material requirements — ready for council review at first submission.

Outcome

Compliant balustrade design and documentation delivered in line with project requirements, supporting a smooth approval process without delays.
