Structural Engineering
Reinforced concrete, structural steel and timber design for residential, commercial and industrial buildings — engineered for economy and buildability.
Overview
How we approach structural engineering
We design structures that builders can actually build. Member sizing, connection detailing and construction sequencing are considered together so that the frame is efficient on paper and straightforward on site.
Our documentation is coordinated with architectural and services drawings before issue, which removes the majority of on-site clashes and requests for information.
Scope of work
Residential Structures
Footings, slabs, framing and bracing for houses, duplexes and townhouses.
Commercial Buildings
Multi-level frames, transfer structures, cores and podium design.
Industrial Facilities
Portal frames, tilt-up panels, mezzanines and heavy floor slabs.
Reinforced Concrete Design
Suspended slabs, beams, columns, walls and post-tensioned interfaces.
Structural Steel Design
Steel framing, trusses, bracing systems and connection design.
Timber Structures
Engineered timber framing, LVL and glulam members, and portal solutions.
Retaining Structures
Mass, cantilever, piled and anchored retaining walls with drainage detailing.
Structural Assessments
Condition assessment, capacity checks and remediation recommendations.
Construction Certification
Compliance certificates for footings, frames, slabs and completed works.
Temporary Works
Propping, shoring, formwork verification and demolition support design.
Why Aetera
Advantages you can measure
Buildable detailing
Connections and reinforcement detailed for real trade sequencing, formwork and crane logic.
Material efficiency
Rationalised member schedules and repeated details reduce steel tonnage and concrete volume.
Certification ready
Design certificates, compliance statements and construction certification issued without delay.
Process
From brief to built
Brief & Loads
Structural brief, load path strategy, wind and earthquake classification.
Scheme Design
Framing options, indicative sizes and comparative cost commentary.
Analysis
Modelling, member design, footing design and geotechnical interface.
Documentation
Structural drawings, schedules, notes and specification for construction.
Certification
Inspections, shop drawing review, RFI responses and final certification.
