SERVICES OVERVIEW

SERVICES

Structural Engineering

If your project requires Structural Engineering then look no further. At R.I. Brown Pty Ltd we take great pride in offering a full comprehensive design service that is innovative and cost effective. Our documentation is completed to the highest industry standards and is clear and concise in content which often reduces the possibilities for builders ‘extras’ or time delays during construction.

Civil Engineering

We have many years of expertise in the Civil Engineering field. Over the years our projects have spanned from residential to sub-division and large industrial storm water drainage and/or pavement designs. We have current knowledge of Councils’ requirements for designing solutions with “Water Sensitive Urban Design” techniques.

Geotechnical Engineering

Understanding soil behavior and characteristics is of major importance when undertaking any type of construction. We are proud of the comprehensive services that we offer all clients in this area. Our site assessments are very thorough and our report findings are backed by our laboratory testing techniques to determine the true characteristics of each type of soil. This not only takes out the ‘guess work’ of doing in-field testing, but gives a datum point for future testing if required.

Building Distress Investigation

Our work with distressed buildings covers a large variety of aspects, from simply wanting to know why you have a crack in your house and the most effective way to repair it, through to a more thorough and technical approach for legal cases on behalf of home owners, builders, body corporates, government bodies and insurance companies to name a few. We cover residential, commercial and industrial properties and investigate structural and civil aspects of any nature as well as investigating structural elements in buildings such as roller door brackets, hand rails, gantry cranes etc., and any free standing structures.

Construction Inspection

We can undertake all your construction inspections whether it’s new, existing or under construction. We can inspect and provide a report to ensure all requirements are met to standard. Whether it be your own home or and investment property; residential, commercial or otherwise, we can put your mind at ease that you are getting what you paid for and your hard earned dollars won’t come crashing down in a heap before your eyes. We can also issue a Certificate of Compliance to help keep you project on the go and minimize costly delays.
