Architectural Elements
Who?
email us
We can assist with structural design of all interior architectural elements, guidance on details, engineering approval and creation of for construction drawings without compromising design intent
​
we only need indicative architectural drawings to give guidance and a quote
Architects
and interior designers
If you need construction compliance documents, for construction designs or preliminary design guidance for tender look no further
​
we only need the tender architectural package to give you a quote
​
Need it fast? just ask
Subcontractors
PM's, plasterers, QS's
call
Early compliant designs for subcontractors, avoid large price spread at tender time, greater certainty on final construction details, reduce unforeseen schedule delays
​
there is plenty to be done to reduce headaches, just touch base

What?
Design
We create project specific designs for:
- ceilings
- partitions
- glazing
- suspended features
- service flooring
- soffits and facades
- all related items
Compliance Documents
As part of building code compliance, we provide certification by a registered structural engineer and take on the associated liability.
​
Regardless of what state/territory in Australia or if in NZ, we can provide certified design and peace of mind to you. That could be any of:
​
- Form 15 or Form 16 (QLD)
- Compliance to VBA (Vic)
- Section 40 certificate (NT)
- Certificate of Building Design
- PS1 producer statement (NZ)
Site Inspections
Not only do we design, but also inspect when required.
​
Whether a scoping meeting is required to assess the current situation on site, or post installation engineering approval.
​
Touch base with us to get an engineer on site.
Why?
Build Code requirements
NCC (Australian National Construction Code), or NZBC (NZ Building Code) both require specific engineering design for architectural elements for the loads they will see over their lifetime.
That's where we come in as specialist structural engineers.
Earthquakes
The building code requires all architectural features to be designed for seismic forces, yes even across Australia.
​
This is very project specific, but we are experts at seismic design and will make sure it's done right while keeping cost to the project as low as possible.
Wind
We also specialise in wind loading of architectural elements.
​
Even interiors (ceilings/partitions) must be designed for some wind load, that is where we can assist in the most effective solution from our extensive experience.
