What Our Clients Say About Our Structural Engineering in Sunshine Coast

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
Great experience with Ostanes. Shoja was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Pricing was fair for the excellent quality service.
Absolutely fantastic to deal with.
Very promptly dealt with our engineering needs.

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.

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.

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.

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.
