STA Consulting Engineers is one of the most trusted engineering companies in the Australian building industry.

For almost 30 years, our reputation has been built on delivering a consistently high standard of service, to both the residential and commercial construction industries.

Soil Testing

With our own NATA accredited laboratory, we deliver faster, more accurate soil testing, site classification, site investigation, and geotechnical engineering results.

Foundation Engineering

Work with specialists in custom foundation design, and get site-specific designs for your residential and commercial projects.

Structural Engineering

Partner with the residential and commercial structural engineering experts to ensure you get compliant, efficient, high-performing structures.
