Advice in the planning stage of new projects

The role of the structural engineer is key in successful, safe and compliant construction repairs, rebuilds and maintenance. Some building companies will provide their own structural engineer, however in most cases you can nominate your own, independent structural engineer and give the friendly team at Cephas Rock a call for our expert advice. 

We often work alongside architects on preliminary plans, and they advise us on what they need during the planning stage—whether it's a design for foundations, bracing, or a combination of these and other structural features. As a result, we typically provide structural drawings, a Compliance Certificate for Building Design (Form 126), and structural computations and CAD drawing. We can also assist with the building permit process, site inspections, and final structural sign-off by issuing a Compliance Certificate for Building Work.
