Structural Engineering Challenges for Decks in Brisbane

Brisbane’s reactive clay soil poses significant challenges for deck structures. This soil type expands and contracts with moisture levels, leading to foundation instability if not properly accounted for. Proper engineering is essential to ensure that deck designs withstand these conditions, maintaining structural integrity over time.


Streamlined Approvals with Brisbane City Council

  • Form 15 Certification for Structural Design Compliance
  • Engineering Drawings for Proposed Deck Design
  • Structural Calculations Ensuring Safety Standards
  • Site Inspection Reports for Compliance Verification

This documentation guarantees compliance for residential extensions under the local council’s jurisdiction. Our thorough approach ensures your project meets all necessary regulations.


Designed to Strict Australian Standards (AS)

All structural designs for residential extensions are certified against the National Construction Code (NCC). The following Australian Standards are adhered to:

  • AS 3600-2018 – Concrete Structures ensure the resilience of concrete decks
  • AS 4100-2020 – Steel Structures define the structural integrity of steel frames
  • AS 2870-2011 – Residential Slabs and Footings dictate the design of foundations for stability on various soils

Ostanes carried out a structural integrity inspection in our home: Dr Shoja was very knowledgeable and thorough. He explained everything he was looking at and why; as well as given us lots of practical advice which was related to structural integrity and otherwise.

Ostanes were great right from the outset - they responded very promptly even on the weekend and we had the inspection and structural engineering report within two days of first contacting them. The admin staff and engineer were both very friendly, helpful and communicative - we'd be happy to use them again. Thank you!

Ostanes have been fantastic to deal with from start to finish. Prompt turnaround times, great correspondence and advice. A small project for a Home Builder for a bathroom extension was made easy by their engineering know how and support every step of the way. Would highly recommend. Thanks to the whole team!

We had a underpinning company quote us $10,000+ to fix an issue with our house foundation. I wanted to get a 2nd opinion and that of a structural engineer because i didn't want to pay for something i didn't need. Shoja was very knowledgeable and thorough. He checked our entire house for structural issues and concluded that the house was fine and didn't need underpinning!! They also don't carry put work that they recommend to avoid conflict of interest. I am so glad we found them, it has saved us tens of thousands of dollar of unnecessary work
Response from the owner:Lisan, weโ€™re really pleased we could help you get a clear and independent assessment. Dr. Shoja was happy to take the time to check everything thoroughly, and itโ€™s great to hear the outcome saved you from unnecessary work and expense. If you ever need guidance again, weโ€™re here to help anytime! ๐Ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ž๐ฌ ๐„๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐

Shoja really saved my skin with such a quick turnaround. I was buying a house and had some concerns about a crack in the render. He went next day and got me the report 2 hours later. The sellers agent met him there and Shoja abstained from telling him any unnecessary information. I would 100% use their services again and recommend them to anybody.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad Dr. Shoja could assist you quickly and effectively during such an important decision. Providing fast, discreet, and professional service is what we strive for, especially in time-sensitive situations like yours. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to supporting you again whenever needed!
