Frequently asked questions

How much does a structural engineer cost in Melbourne?

Fees depend on the project scope, site conditions and documentation required. Call or send the form for a tailored quote.

Council has asked for a drainage plan. Can you do it?

Yes. We prepare stormwater drainage plans, including the legal point of discharge (LPOD) and on-site detention where council requires it.

Do I need a structural engineer to remove a wall?

If the wall is load-bearing, yes. We size the beam or lintel and provide drawings and computations for your builder and building permit.

Can a structural engineer inspect cracks in my house?

Yes. We inspect cracking, settlement and movement, find the cause, and give you a written report with recommendations.
