At the heart of our business philosophy is a desire to develop long-term partnerships with clients by delivering high-quality projects on time and within budget. This philosophy shapes our business decisions and ensures that the resource implications are fully understood for each project we commit to. We now have Consultants (our Associates) network and partner organizations, all with a lean management structure and similar values and work ethics. Therefore, we can tailor our resources to suit specific project requirements and add specialist services where required. We can work on projects of varying sizes, from the one-off inspection to multi-million dollar new builds with engineering teams scaled to suit. Our back-office support and systems allow our project engineers and our associates to focus on project delivery and build on-going relationships with clients as we all have an interest in delivering successful projects. All projects undertaken by the company will be managed by one of our consultants who will lead the civil/structural design and be the prime client contact and interface with other project team participants. We believe that clients and project developers need a degree of certainty concerning engineering scopes and costs. Where project scopes are well defined, we can provide lump-sum fees; alternatively, where scopes are less well defined, we can work on hourly rates with a maximum estimated fee value.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

Yes, you can build over a stump if the roots are no longer alive. Living roots will continue to grow and may damage your new construction over time. Similarly, you should also remove rotting stumps because they may continue to attract pests and even cause new structures (especially those made from wood) to decompose as well.

Yes, you can put a doorway in a structural wall; in fact, most exterior doors are set into structural walls. The project is a little more challenging than installing a door in a non-load-bearing wall because you need a structural engineer to assess the wall and make sure it’s safe to create a wall opening. Your engineer’s report will include instructions for your contractor on how and where to install additional supports, like steel headers above the door, to distribute the weight above to the wall on either side of the door.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
