Residential Services

Our services include

  • Foundation Design

We design safe and cost-effective foundations based on detailed site investigations, soil conditions, and structural loads. Whether it’s a standard strip foundation, raft slab, or pile-supported system, our designs are engineered for long-term stability and structural integrity.

​

  • Geotechnical Review

We work closely with geotechnical specialists to assess soil conditions, bearing capacity, and ground movement risks. Our engineering solutions are informed by accurate soil data to ensure the appropriate foundation system is specified — especially critical in areas with expansive clay, collapsing soils, or steep gradients.

​

  • Structural Design & Detailing

From walls and slabs to beams, roofs, and retaining structures, we provide detailed structural designs that ensure safety, efficiency, and code compliance. Our documentation is precise, easy to interpret, and ready for submission to authorities or contractors.

​

  • Stormwater & Civil Infrastructure

We design residential stormwater management systems that comply with local regulations and environmental standards. This includes stormwater detention, site drainage, sewer connections, and access roads where applicable.

​

  • NHBRC & Local Authority Submissions

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

Throughout the construction process, we offer site inspections to monitor structural works and ensure they are built according to the approved designs. We provide the necessary engineering sign-offs required for council compliance and NHBRC completion certificates.

Additional Engineering Assessments & Condition Reports

  • Dilapidation Reports

Before nearby construction begins, we conduct detailed inspections of surrounding properties to document existing cracks, defects, and structural conditions. This protects both property owners and developers by establishing a clear baseline and minimizing disputes related to construction damage claims.

​

  • Engineering Inspection Reports

We conduct structural inspections and provide formal reports for homeowners, buyers, or insurers. Whether it’s a visible crack, suspected foundation issue, or general structural concern, our inspection reports offer clear findings, technical insights, and recommended actions.

​

  • As-Built Assessments & Compliance Audits

For completed structures, we can assess whether the construction aligns with approved engineering designs and building regulations. This is particularly valuable in cases where work was done without formal approval or where legal compliance is in question.

​

We provide comprehensive structural and civil engineering solutions tailored to residential projects of all sizes — from new home builds and extensions to renovations and multi-unit developments. Our team works closely with homeowners, architects, and builders to deliver safe, efficient, and cost-effective designs that meet all local building codes and regulatory requirements. Whether you're planning a custom home, adding a second story, or developing a subdivision, we ensure your project is built on a strong foundation — both literally and structurally.
