OUR SERVICES

We prepare engineering reports that address the important issues required to be assessed in accordance with Council’s expectations. From single dwelling renovations that trigger Council approval and rural projects that are affected by planning overlays, to commercial developments and large master planned subdivisions that require these reports.
Civil engineering design drawings will be prepared to a suitable standard for Operation Works (OPW) or Construction Certificate (CC) applications and subsequent construction. Our service will require liaison and co-ordination with the project team and provision to supply our base plans, in AutoCAD, for the use of other contractors. We also provide a tender design service and can assist with finding suitable and reliable contractors
We will attend site as required to conduct compliance inspections and provide ongoing engineering support. At completion of the works, we will provide certification of compliant as-constructed/as-built survey plans supplied by the project surveyor and QA documentation from the civil contractor for final certification.
To assist with determination of site acquisition we can complete due diligence and advisory to understand the opportunities and constraints of a site from a civil perspective.

EXPERTISE YOU CAN TRUST, RESULTS YOU CAN RELY ON.

WHY CHOOSE US?
