The brief
The developer needed an efficient structural system for a four-storey, 24-unit building on a tight urban site with variable ground conditions.
Our response
We designed a reinforced concrete podium with light-steel framed levels above, balancing construction speed, cost and seismic performance. Working closely with the geotechnical engineer, we developed a piled foundation solution that reduced excavation and kept the programme moving.
On the civil side, we designed on-site stormwater detention and new wastewater connections, and secured engineering approval with council.
The outcome
The structure was delivered on time, with value-engineering changes that saved the client a meaningful share of the original structural budget.
Engineered for
speed and certainty
Regular site inspections and PS4 construction monitoring kept quality high and questions answered quickly, so the contractor was never left waiting on the engineer.
