Foundation design is critical for any construction project, as the slab and foundations ultimately support the building in which you live everyday. Without sound foundation design and construction, future rectification costs can be astronomical. Here’s what’s included in our professional foundation design service:
A foundation design report is prepared by a registered professional engineer. It is then used by your builder and concreters to determine both material costings and on-site construction requirements. Foundation constructions can vary significantly, and some builders specialise in a particular type of foundation. So by starting with quality foundation drawings, you can confidently select the right builder and enable them to understand all requirements for the construction.
A design report is compiled and signed by a registered professional engineer. The report encompasses all concrete, steel and building requirements, including (where applicable):
With decades of soil testing and geotechnical expertise, we design your foundations and structure to suit the ground conditions and the surrounding areas for the full life expectancy of the dwelling.
From order placement through to job completion, your STA designated contact makes it easy for you to track the status of your project(s) so you can plan your workflow and manage your team.
With over 30 years’ design experience for thousands of Australian builds, we’re trusted by hundreds of builders across Australia.
STA is a one-stop engineer with a service range that delivers three key advantages:
Pre-planning your engineering needs means you won’t have to keep re-booking an engineer when you need a particular service. It creates efficiencies that cut service times and save you money by pulling together the services you’ll need, at a lower overall price.
With all your engineering done by a single organisation, your consultants tap into a deeper knowledge of the site and the project, which leads to high quality outcomes, with more opportunities for innovative solutions.
While STA always takes legal responsibility for its engineering designs, an up-front engineering services package makes it easier to trust our work with a strong mutual commitment, and reduced risk of potential interruption or delay.
