Structural Engineering Challenges for Residential Projects in Brisbane

Brisbane’s residential substrates can include reactive clay profiles, and soil conditions vary from site to site. Site classification to AS 2870 and engineered slab or footing design are based on the ground information available for the particular site, to help manage differential ground movement. Wind actions are assessed under AS/NZS 1170.2 for the specific property, including terrain and exposure.

Ostanes Engineering provides comprehensive documentation to guarantee compliance for residential projects under the Brisbane City Council’s jurisdiction:

  • Structural Drawings: Detailed plans outlining load-bearing elements and connections.

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, we’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 it’s great to hear the outcome saved you from unnecessary work and expense. If you ever need guidance again, we’re here to help anytime! 𝐎𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠
