Formwork & scaffold · NSW
Live high-rise build, Sydney
Suspended-slab formwork, back-propping and engineered scaffold across an active multi-tower residential site.
Formwork, scaffold, crane bases and lifting, designed and certified by NSW-registered professional engineers, across NSW & QLD, and turned around to suit your construction program.
We're the engineer, not the formwork contractor. We produce the design, the calculations and the certificate. We don't supply, hire or erect the gear. Our clients are the formwork and scaffold contractors, builders and project managers who need the engineering behind their package.
Send your drawings or method statement — a temporary works engineer replies with a clear scope and fee.
A formwork designer here, a shoring designer there, a lifting engineer for the crane — and nobody owns the interfaces. Metric designs, checks and certifies the whole temporary-works package, so one engineer owns those interfaces and your program isn't waiting on three separate sign-offs.
From formwork to cage lifting, we design, independently review and certify the full range of temporary works — to the Australian Standards, and to your construction program.
Wall, column, soffit and table formwork and falsework, sized for the pour and certified to AS 3610 — with back-propping and reshoring schedules so lower slabs aren't overloaded.
Engineered access, cantilever, loaded, hung and tied scaffold — designed and certified for the real loads and the real site, not signed off against a generic handbook.
Crane pads, outrigger and ground-bearing checks and lift studies — the ground checked against the crane loads and signed off before it tracks on.
Lift studies and rigging design — plus our specialty, reinforcement cage lifting for bored piles, diaphragm-wall panels, columns and tanks.
Basement and excavation support, soldier piles, back-propping, needling and underpinning — designed to dig and build safely on tight sites.
Staged propping and façade retention that protects existing and heritage fabric while the structure behind it is rebuilt.
For a circular water-tank base in Gawler East, SA, we designed and certified the lift of prefabricated reinforcement cages — curved segments up to 9.2 m craned into position. Every bar, weld and lifting cable was modelled in SpaceGASS, with lift bars and welds detailed to AS 1554.3 / AS 4100.
Crane dynamic factor 1.4, combined factor 1.85, lifts wind-limited to 15 m/s, and ±600 mm lift-point tolerance engineered in — issued as a certified temporary-works lifting package. It's one example of the full temporary-works range we cover, from formwork to façade retention.

Suspended-slab formwork, back-propping and engineered scaffold across an active multi-tower residential site.
13.6-tonne D-wall reinforcement cages picked vertically on a Gold Coast basement — spreader beam, lift bars and welds certified to AS 1554.3.
Straight, corner and closer cages engineered for the pick — centre of gravity computed and rigging specified before the crane arrives.
Upload drawings, a method statement or a sketch and tell us the stage and deadline.
A temporary works engineer reviews the works and confirms scope, standards and program.
You get a clear written scope, fee and turnaround within 24 hours on business days — no obligation.
On approval we design, document and certify, ready for the principal contractor.
Live site with a tight program? Call 0404 344 027 — we work to construction timeframes.
Documentation is clear, turnaround times are reliable, and their team demonstrates a strong understanding of risk, sequencing, and site conditions.
Advice is clear, responsive, and aligned with program and buildability considerations, which has assisted in progressing works efficiently.
Yes. Send what you have — architectural drawings, a sketch, photos or a written scope — and we'll tell you what we need to price the job. If you have nothing yet, a call works too.
The site address, what you're building and the stage you're at, any drawings, photos or a method statement you have, and your timing.
The proposal. You get a written scope and fixed fee within 24 hours on business days. The design and certification program is set out in that proposal and agreed before we start.
The proposal itemises what is covered — the design, calculations, drawings and certification for the listed scope — with one design-development round and two revisions per item included. Anything outside that, such as extra site visits or changes to the brief, is priced at the schedule of rates in the proposal and agreed before it's done.
Certification is by engineering design, calculation and visual site inspection — we don't do physical or material testing. Construction-stage inspections are scoped as an allowance (a stated number of visits) and listed in the proposal, so there are no surprises.
You'll see a reference number straight away. An engineer reviews the enquiry and comes back within 24 hours on business days with any questions and a fixed-fee proposal. Nothing is charged until you accept it.
No engineer can guarantee a council, certifier or principal contractor's decision. We design and document to the relevant Australian Standards and the requirements you're given, and we respond to review comments on our work.
Send the scope. A registered engineer comes back with a clear, fixed-fee proposal — fast.
