Builders, shed manufacturers and architects

One engineer. Every project

The majority of our work comes from repeat clients: builders, shed manufacturers and architects around Australia who want a convenient, matter-of-fact, no-nonsense engineering partner. Standard details are turned around quickly, and larger projects are scheduled with you.

Who we work with

Shed manufacturers and shed builders

Site-specific engineering for every sale, sized to the customer’s wind region rather than a worst-case table. Optimised designs that reduce steel, fast turnaround, and much lower engineering fees than expensive software packages. We specialise in C-section, RHS, UB/UC, truss and timber sheds.

Builders and patio installers

Beams, lintels, footings, patios and carports for your residential jobs, plus certification of standard details you use repeatedly. Send the plans, get the engineering back, keep building.

Architects, designers and project managers

Structural documentation to sit alongside your architectural set, with an engineer who answers the phone when the certifier has a question.

How the arrangement works

  • Agreed pricing for your typical jobsFixed fees per structure type, so you can quote your own customers with confidence
  • Standard details on fileYour footing, connection and bracing details certified once and reused
  • Direct line to your engineerTechnical questions answered by the engineer, not a call centre
  • Council and certifier questions handledIf questions arise about our engineering, we respond directly at no extra charge

Engineering design and certification only. Fabrication, construction, site visits and inspections remain with you and your subcontractors.

“Very easy process, great price and got exactly the plans I needed. Great company, very smooth interaction through email and over the phone. Very knowledgeable engineer made it a simple process, got the perfect set of plans. I would definitely recommend and use them again.”

“Reached out to Engineering Online to assist with a design for a shipping container footings and tie down. Stacey made contact promptly and I sent through sketches and photos of the location which is on a 1 to 4 slope. The design was provided by Tegan who provided a design with several options, all of which met the relevant codes and regulations. Could not ask for more from this recommended provider. The outcome has avoided having to wait for up to 6 months from local engineering firms, big plus!”

“As an owner builder, I was looking for a cost-reasonable company to provide engineering drawings of my ideas for a ‘busport’ for a motorhome. After many frustrating calls locally (Brisbane), I found these guys online. In every respect, I found Engineering Online great to deal with, experienced, could do work for any state, timely, and understanding. I overwhelmingly recommend them based on my experience.”

“I was nervous not having face to face contact, but managed through email to get the drawings we needed to submit to Council at a fair and reasonable price. I would recommend Engineering Online.”

“Alain assisted our home carport renovations by marking up and certifying our construction/engineering drawings, as well as providing a Regulation 61 Certificate for the project. His assistance greatly expedited what had become a lengthy council approval process. Will be back in the future for any similar projects!”

“I would highly recommend Engineering Online Australia. From my initial phone call with Alain, to completion of my deck engineering, the process was easy and efficient. My questions were addressed and I was confident right from the start that I would get an excellent result. Engineering Online delivered results.”

“Engineering Online was that efficient and completed our job without continuous follow up. We had offered this work to several local companies prior who over complicated the matter and often did not even respond. Great to see online tech mixed with old fashioned service.”

“Tegan at Engineering Online Australia genuinely considered our preferences and wants when engineering our patio. Very happy with the drawings.”
