Frequently Asked Questions

What does a structural engineer do?

Structural engineers design and assess buildings, foundations, and infrastructure to ensure they are safe, stable, and compliant with regulations. They work across residential, commercial, industrial, and public projects. Learn more at Engineers Australia – Structural Engineering.

Do I need a structural engineer for residential projects?

Yes. Most residential projects, especially new builds, extensions, or modifications to load-bearing walls, require a structural assessment for council approval. Apex provides detailed designs and certification that comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant state planning portals.

Can Apex help with council approvals?

Yes. We prepare engineering drawings and certification for Development Applications (DA) and Construction Certificates (CC), liaising with councils to ensure smooth approval via portals like the NSW Planning Portal, Victoria Planning System, and Queensland Development Assessment.

Do you provide remedial engineering services?

Yes. We assess structural issues such as cracks, settlement, or failures and provide practical remediation designs. Our approach aligns with best practices from Infrastructure Australia to ensure safety, longevity, and compliance.

How do structural engineers collaborate with other consultants?

Apex works closely with civil engineers, architects, builders, and surveyors to ensure designs are coordinated across disciplines. This integration improves construction efficiency and reduces risks of delays or rework. See related services: Civil and Structural Engineering Services.

What Our Clients Say

Our reputation is built on successful project delivery and long-term partnerships. Here’s what clients say about working with Apex Civil Engineers:

Samir was of really great service with a professional approach and can do attitude. I was impressed with APEX CE’s prompt service and quick delivery time. Look forward to our next business opportunity in the near future.

I recently used the APEX CE group for some of my Construction Certificate documents (Stormwater, Parking and Erosion/Sediments Plans). They were professional and easy to deal with, had a quick and timely turnaround and was very competitive in the quoting stage. I will definitely recommend Samir and his team for future projects.

I needed to install a detention pit as part of a Stormwater condition of my DA application but Samir proposed two rainwater tanks as a more feasible and cost effective alternative. I found Samir to be extremely reliable, knowledgeable and efficient. He promptly inspected my home, then drew the OSR Plans which were immediately approved by Ryde City Council. I would recommend Samir’s service to anyone.

I found Samir apart from having a professional approach to the building work to be a like able person to deal with Thanks again Samir Martin.
