Commercial Services

Our services include

Foundation Design

We design efficient, load-bearing foundation systems suited to the scale and function of commercial structures. Based on detailed geotechnical data, our solutions may include reinforced strip footings, raft slabs, pile foundations, or hybrid systems tailored to site conditions and building loads.

Geotechnical Review and Coordination

We coordinate with geotechnical engineers to assess soil performance, bearing capacity, groundwater levels, and settlement risks. Our foundation and structural designs are driven by accurate soil data, ensuring long-term performance and minimising structural risk.

Structural Design & Detailing

From high-load floor slabs and suspended mezzanines to structural steel frames, concrete columns, and retaining walls, we provide detailed and practical structural designs tailored to the complexity of commercial projects. All designs are fully compliant with the latest SANS and building code requirements.

Stormwater & Civil Infrastructure

Our civil engineering team delivers end-to-end site infrastructure solutions, including bulk earthworks, stormwater drainage, water and sewer reticulation, and access road design. We ensure all infrastructure is designed to municipal standards and seamlessly integrated with surrounding developments.

Municipal and Regulatory Approvals

We assist with all required engineering documentation for NHBRC enrollment and local municipality approvals. Our team ensures that your project meets the National Building Regulations and all structural compliance requirements for NHBRC certification.

Site Inspections & Compliance Sign-Offs

Our engineers conduct on-site inspections throughout construction to verify compliance with approved designs and specifications. Upon completion, we provide structural and civil sign-offs, completion certificates, and compliance documentation as required by local authorities and professional bodies.

Additional Engineering Assessments & Condition Reports

Dilapidation Reports (Pre-Construction Condition Surveys)

Before construction begins, we conduct detailed surveys of adjacent buildings and infrastructure to document their existing condition. These reports are essential for minimising legal disputes, protecting stakeholders, and providing a clear baseline should damage claims arise during construction.

Engineering Inspection Reports

We carry out independent structural assessments for existing commercial buildings to identify potential defects, assess load-bearing capacity, and provide guidance on remediation. These reports are valuable for due diligence (e.g., prior to acquisition), insurance claims, or lease agreements.

As-Built Assessments & Compliance Audits

We review completed structures to verify alignment with approved plans, regulatory requirements, and safety standards. These audits are critical where construction has occurred without full oversight, or where there are concerns about non-compliance or building integrity.

Engineering Support for Refurbishments & Change-of-Use Projects

For upgrades, retrofits, or change-of-use applications, we assess the structural capacity of existing buildings, identify necessary reinforcements, and produce design modifications to accommodate new loading conditions or building layouts.

We provide expert structural and civil engineering services for commercial developments of all scales — from office parks and retail centres to industrial warehouses and mixed-use buildings. Our team works collaboratively with architects, developers, contractors, and project managers to deliver robust, code-compliant engineering solutions that meet both functional requirements and commercial objectives.

Whether you're planning a new build, a redevelopment, or a major extension, we offer integrated engineering support from design through to completion.
