Absolutely fantastic to deal with.
Very promptly dealt with our engineering needs.

Kirby Hogan

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!

FAQs – Structural Engineering in Sunshine Coast

Do you provide certification for existing decks and carports?

Yes, we offer retrospective structural certification for existing structures such as decks, patios, pergolas, and carports. If your structure was built without council approval, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure it complies with current Australian standards and Sunshine Coast Council regulations, and we provide the required engineering documentation to support your application.

Can you assist with Sunshine Coast Council regulations?

Definitely. Our engineers are highly familiar with the requirements of the Sunshine Coast Council and other regional authorities. Whether you need pre-construction advice or support with retrospective approvals, we’ll guide you through the documentation, submission, and approval process, making it as stress-free as possible.

How long does a structural inspection take?

A standard structural inspection typically takes 1 to 2 hours on-site, depending on the complexity of the structure. After the inspection, we aim to deliver the engineering report within 2 to 3 business days, although express delivery is available if needed urgently.

Do you work with builders and contractors directly?

Yes, we frequently partner with local builders, draftsmen, and project managers to ensure smooth communication and seamless integration into your building timeline. We can provide engineering designs and certificates that fit into their workflows and are always available for clarification or revisions if required.

What types of structures do you certify?

We provide certification for a wide range of structures, including:

Residential homes and extensions
Retaining walls and foundations
Carports, sheds, and garages
Pergolas and verandas
Granny flats and auxiliary dwellings
Commercial fit-outs and steel framing systems

Is your engineering team licensed and insured?

Absolutely. Every structural engineer on our team is fully qualified, registered, and carries up-to-date professional indemnity and public liability insurance. We comply with all relevant Australian engineering codes and uphold strict quality assurance processes.

Can you help with coastal corrosion-resistant designs?

Yes – designing for coastal areas like the Sunshine Coast requires special attention to corrosion risks due to salt-laden air. We select appropriate materials and apply design principles that reduce long-term degradation. This helps improve structural durability and reduces maintenance costs over time.

What’s the cost for a typical engineering certification?

Our pricing is transparent and competitive. A basic certification starts from around $550, depending on the type and complexity of the structure. We provide a clear, fixed quote upfront with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.

Do you offer urgent or express services?

Yes, we understand that some projects require fast action – especially if you’re finalizing a property sale or preparing for an inspection. We offer express service options with turnaround times as fast as 24 hours, depending on the project scope and availability.

How do I get started with your services?

Getting started is simple! You can fill out our quick online form to request a quote, or give us a call to speak directly with our engineering team. We’ll ask a few questions about your project, provide guidance on the next steps, and help schedule an inspection or consultation at your convenience.
