Commercial
Functional, compliant commercial design, engineered from the same drawing set instead of handed to a separate consultant partway through.
Discuss your commercial projectWhat we design
Commercial buildings that have to work as hard as the business running out of them.
- Offices
- Staff accommodation
- Ablution blocks
- Supermarkets and food retail
Compliance and buildability, together
Commercial projects carry a heavier compliance load than residential ones: accessibility, fire, and use-specific building code requirements all have to be resolved before consent moves. Because structural engineering is coordinated alongside the design from the start, those requirements get built into the drawings early instead of being reconciled against a separate engineer's report later in the process.
Who this is for
Commercial developers, retail operators, and businesses fitting out or extending a premises who need a design partner that can carry a project through the compliance requirements a residential firm usually isn't set up to handle in-house.
Common questions
Do you handle building code compliance for commercial projects?
Yes. Commercial design is documented and engineered to meet the building code requirements that apply to the specific use, whether that's a retail fitout, an office, or staff accommodation.
Can you work with an existing commercial building?
Yes. We assess the existing structure as part of the design so a fitout, extension, or change of use is engineered against what the building can actually carry.
What does the process look like for a commercial project?
The same concept-to-consent path as a residential project, adjusted for the compliance requirements a commercial use brings. We scope the compliance picture early so it doesn't surface late as a redesign.
