What We Offer
Brisbane Structures is a structural and civil engineering consultancy — we design, assess, inspect and certify. We don't carry out physical construction or trade works; we provide the engineering drawings, reports and RPEQ certifications your builder and council need.
Foundations, slabs, frames and specialty structures — council-ready drawings for all project types.
Structural engineering design and certification for wall removals, second storey additions, extensions and granny flat conversions.
Pre-purchase, dilapidation, defect and damage reports accepted by councils, banks and buyers.
Drainage design, retention systems and stormwater management plans for residential and commercial sites.
Our licensed structural engineers deliver complete design packages for projects of all scales — from a single footing to a multi-storey commercial building. Every set of drawings is produced to Australian Standards and prepared for council submission.
Note: "Construction and project management" refers to engineering oversight and coordination during construction — not physical building works.
Planning a renovation or addition? Our structural engineers provide the design drawings, load-bearing assessments and RPEQ certifications your builder needs — from a single wall removal through to a full second storey addition.
Whether you're buying a property, making an insurance claim or dealing with building damage, our engineers provide thorough and impartial reports. All certifications are RPEQ-signed and accepted by councils, banks and insurers.
From single lot drainage through to subdivision-scale stormwater networks, Brisbane Structures provides complete stormwater engineering and hydraulic design — RPEQ-certified and ready for council lodgement.

Common Questions
A building inspection (typically done by a builder or building inspector) covers the general condition of the property. A structural inspection is carried out by a licensed structural engineer (RPEQ) and focuses specifically on the structural integrity of the foundations, framing, slabs and load-bearing elements — producing a report that banks, insurers and councils accept for formal decisions.
Yes — both attached and detached granny flats require structural engineering drawings signed by an RPEQ before they can receive building approval. Brisbane Structures provides complete structural design packages for granny flats and secondary dwellings, including footing design, framing plans and RPEQ certification.
A Form 15 is an RPEQ-signed certificate confirming that the structural aspects of a building work (design or inspection) comply with the applicable Australian Standards and the Queensland Development Code. It is required by building certifiers before a development can receive approval. Brisbane Structures issues Form 15 certificates for all eligible structural engineering work.
Yes. Brisbane Structures provides complete stormwater engineering packages for development applications — including drainage calculations, stormwater management plans and RPEQ-certified drawings formatted to meet Brisbane City Council and SEQ council DA requirements.
For straightforward residential projects (new home, extension, retaining wall), we typically deliver preliminary drawings within 1–2 weeks of site inspection. More complex commercial or multi-unit projects vary by scope. We confirm a realistic delivery timeline during the initial consultation and keep to it.
No. Brisbane Structures is a structural and civil engineering consultancy — we design, assess, inspect and certify. We produce the drawings, calculations and RPEQ-signed documents that your licensed builder and council need. We do not carry out physical construction, trade works or project management of building works.
