An easy straight forward process

I submitted plans to the City of Kalamunda for a shed that I wanted to build for my Caravan. The plan did not include the technical specs required so the City of Kalamunda put me onto Engineering Online.

I just contacted Engineering Online using their Web Tools and one of their engineers was back in contact with me within a couple of days. Once she had received the plans from me it wasnt long before I received a draft copy of the plans for review. The draft contained all the additional details required so I can now resubmit the plans to the City of Kalamunda. All this was achieved from my computer with no need to travel anywhere for meetings etc.

Use Engineering Online, its an easy staight forward process, with the click of a few buttons you will receive the outcome that you want!
