Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle small residential jobs or only large infrastructure?
We work across projects of all sizes. Our team regularly delivers civil engineering services for small residential developments, including single dwellings and grouped housing, as well as large scale commercial, industrial and mining projects. This breadth of experience allows us to apply the same level of technical rigour and practical insight to every project, regardless of scale.
Can I remove a load-bearing wall in my house?
In many cases, load-bearing walls can be removed, but they must be replaced with appropriate structural support such as beams or columns. Each home is different, so an assessment is needed to determine the safest and most effective solution for your renovation.
What approvals are needed for residential renovations in Perth?
Most structural renovations require Council approval, including certified drawings and supporting documentation. Requirements can vary depending on the scope of work, but having the correct plans and reports prepared upfront helps avoid delays and ensures a smoother approval process.
