ENGINEERING CERTAINTY. DELIVERED.
Building a new home requires more than architectural plans. The structure needs to be designed to safely transfer loads from the roof, walls and floors through to the foundations while accounting for the site conditions, materials and architectural design.
Engineering On Demand provides New Home Engineer Perth services for homeowners, builders, architects and designers throughout Perth and Western Australia.
Our Residential Structural Engineering team can provide the structural design, calculations, engineering drawings and certification required to turn your new home design into a practical, construction-ready structural solution.
From the footings to the roof, we engineer the structure behind your home.
The structural design of a new home is directly influenced by the ground it’s being constructed on.
Before the footing system can be appropriately designed, the site’s soil conditions generally need to be understood and classified.
Engineering On Demand can coordinate site classification alongside the structural engineering process, helping establish the information required for footing and slab design.
Once the site conditions and proposed building loads are known, an appropriate foundation solution can be developed for the home.
Every home is different.
Architectural layouts, large openings, upper floors, roof configurations, soil conditions and construction materials can all influence how the structure needs to be designed.
Working with an experienced House Structural Engineer Perth gives your project a structural solution developed around the actual design of the home.
Our engineers can assess and design the major structural components of the building, including:
The result is coordinated structural documentation that your builder can use to construct the home.
Some homes require significantly more engineering than conventional residential construction.
Large spans, unusual geometry, extensive structural steel, complex sites and ambitious architectural designs can require project-specific analysis and Custom Engineering.
Engineering On Demand can develop structural solutions around the actual architectural and construction requirements rather than attempting to force the design into an unsuitable standard detail.
Structural engineering for new homes must account for the regulatory framework applying to residential construction.
The National Construction Code’s housing provisions address structural stability and resistance and include provisions relating to site preparation, footings and slabs, masonry, framing, roof and wall cladding and other structural matters.
Our engineering documentation is developed with consideration of the applicable NCC requirements and relevant Australian Standards for the project.
A structural engineer is required where structural elements of the home need to be designed, analysed or certified. This can include foundations, slabs, beams, columns, framing, bracing, structural steelwork and connections.
A House Structural Engineer Perth can design the structural elements required to support the home, including foundations, slabs, beams, columns, framing, steelwork and structural connections.
Site conditions can influence the design of the home’s foundations. Relevant site and soil information therefore generally needs to be available before the final footing and slab design is completed.
Yes. Architectural or building-design drawings can provide the basis for developing the structural engineering design.
Yes. Our engineering and drafting teams can produce structural drawings documenting the engineered solution for construction.
Yes. Our Residential Structural Engineering services can cover single-storey, two-storey and more complex residential structures depending on the project.
Yes. Where a home falls outside conventional structural solutions, our custom Engineering Design Services can be used to develop a project-specific structural design.
