Overview

Structural

The EI Australia structural team is at the cutting edge of innovative and creative engineering design, with a commitment to continuously push the boundaries in order to deliver exceptional and unique results, alongside practical and cost-effective designs. Our impressive portfolio demonstrates the flexible, inspirational and intelligent minds behind the structures we deliver, which allows us to tailor each design process in order to meet the needs of our clients. Our team are a group of talented engineers who have worked with tier 1 consultants both nationally and internationally, as well as many varied contractors. This provides our clients with the confidence that we are very well versed in effective delivery of significant and iconic high quality projects.

At EI Australia, our team does not just gain construction certification approval. We design and document the most cost effective and buildable solution, which separates us from our competitors.

We take the initiative and responsibility to ensure that our designs are always coordinated with other disciplines. By adopting this methodology, our clients can be saved from cost issues during the construction phase when delays to time critical construction activity are most expensive. Site issues can be cumbersome and time consuming. Rather than hiding from these, EI Australia mobilise resources to eliminate problems before they escalate to significant issues that may require expensive solutions causing major cost overruns.
