Our engineers listen & take the time to understand your technical plans

____

We take the time to listen to and understand your goals, before offering straightforward advice and developing the most appropriate and cost-effective solution, for the best possible outcome. Once our registered engineers have completed your technical plans, we’ll issue a Form 15 Certificate (Design) to confirm this vital aspect of the construction process has been completed in accordance with all relevant Australian standards and guidelines.

This will enable you to obtain the required permit from a Building Certifier, allowing work to commence. Throughout the construction process, we will remain on-hand to inspect the quality of work at specific stages, in order to issue a Form 16 Certificate (Construction) upon completion, confirming that all plans were adhered to.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a structural engineer do?

If you’re planning a new-build or addition to an existing property, it’s vital to make sure you have a trustworthy expert to prepare the technical designs needed to ensure all necessary requirements are met, and your vision becomes a reality. And that is where your structural engineer comes in! While your architect will take more of a focus on how a building looks from an aesthetic perspective, your structural engineer will focus on how it will be built, and what materials will be used to ensure safety, durability and functionality.

How much does it cost to hire a structural engineer?

Every job is different. Each quote is individually developed based on our experience and expertise, as well as the size and complexity of the build. All work is quoted for using an hourly rate and an estimate of the time required to do the job. Importantly, we won’t take any payment from you until the job has been completed to your absolute satisfaction.

What does a structural engineer report on?

Our registered structural engineers complete all technical drawings outlining how a building should be constructed for safety, durability and functionality. Once we’re satisfied the designs meet all necessary codes and standards, we’ll issue a Form 15 Certificate (Design). This is your official confirmation that this aspect of the process has been completed. It also outlines all the relevant project details and applicable standards that need to be met, depending on the site itself, the surrounding conditions and the materials being used.

Do you need a structural engineer to build a house?

The simple answer is yes. For the construction of any complex structure, you’ll need to ensure you have the right certification (i.e. a Form 15 Certificate), issued by an appropriate, accredited professional. For that reason, 95 per cent of building works require the input of a structural engineer to help ensure your vision is brought to life in the safest way possible.

What does a structural engineer look for in a building?

While your architect will design a building with aesthetics top-of-mind, your structural engineer will focus on ensuring it is constructed safely and will function as you need it to once completed. They achieve this by selecting materials, determining the structural elements of the design, and specifying all electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and plumbing requirements.

What is the difference between an architect and structural engineer?

Architects and structural engineers are each responsible for planning the design of a building. Both have the same endgame, i.e. a well-structured building. However, the focus they take during the development process is markedly different. While architects tend to be more concerned with how a building looks based on a client brief, structural engineers focus on how it will be built from a technical and structural perspective, including material selection and how those materials should be used to guarantee a robust finish. Essentially, your structural engineer is responsible for ensuring the design is safe and meets all appropriate building codes and standards.

What is our process?

____

SLN Consulting offers an entire suite of structural engineering services. Whether it’s a new build or renovation, the process will usually begin once you have received preliminary drawings from your architect. To ensure you are successful in receiving your building permit, we will then review these drawings and develop the structural designs that will bring them to life. We offer our services to both residential and commercial clients in Brisbane, Tweed Heads and on the Gold Coast

Initially, we’ll sit down with you to run through all requirements and take the necessary time to understand your objectives, before working to develop the most appropriate and cost-effective solution. From here, we’ll develop a quote outlining all elements and associated fees. Importantly, we don’t take any payment until the job has been completed, and all necessary permits have been issued.

Once you have approved your quote, we’ll work with you to gather all the necessary information to get the job done. Our fully-accredited and highly-experienced engineers will then work to complete your technical plans, and ultimately issue a Form 15 Certificate (Design), which is your official confirmation that this element has been completed in accordance with all relevant Australian standards and guidelines.

Following your structural drawings being completed and your Form 15 having been issued, we’ll remain on-hand to conduct ongoing inspections throughout the construction process, so you can rest assured that all requirements are being met. Our involvement here allows us to issue a Form 16 Certificate (Construction) upon completion, confirming all structural plans were adhered to correctly.
