The highly specialised field of Structural Engineering requires an intimate knowledge of Structural Design Standards, Materials and Construction methods to ensure the development of the optimum solution.

SDC are specialised in Structural Engineering and possesses the tools, experience and capability to design all Structures and Structural Components including;

• Timber Design
• Steel Design
• Concrete Design
• Foundation and Footings design
• Tilt-up design
• Support Structures
• Structural Integrity Investigations
• Structural Components
• Alternative Structural Systems
• Certificate of Compliance

It is imperative that a thorough pre-design consultation is conducted to ensure the full scope and requirements of the project are discussed. SDC uses a consultative approach to fully understand and assess the project needs such as functionality and aesthetics, preferred construction methods and materials as well as project timing and budget in developing the most suitable solution.

As each project can have differing complexities and criteria, and as there are many options to designing a structure, we investigate the use of different materials and methods and are often able to provide our clients with options, alternatives and flexibility in order to select the method that best suits the needs of the project. We provide ongoing technical support and advice to ensure our designs are totally buildable on site.

We stay abreast of the latest technologies and materials and ensure all our Consultants are fully conversed in the most up to date relevant Australian Standards and Building codes. Hence all of our designs will utilise the latest design technologies and be fully compliant with all current Codes and Standards.
