Compliance

Built to code, ready for your certifier

Civil and stormwater design is prepared to relevant Australian Standards and local council requirements, accounting for the Gold Coast’s intense summer rainfall and the sloping hinterland blocks that concentrate runoff. Getting this design right protects footings, retaining walls and neighbouring properties from water damage.

Common Questions

Civil & Stormwater Engineering FAQs

Do I need stormwater design for a house renovation?

Often, yes — if your renovation adds roof or paved area, council typically requires updated stormwater management showing where that extra runoff goes.

Can you design drainage for a sloping block?

Yes — sloping and split-level sites are common across the Gold Coast hinterland, and concentrated runoff is exactly the condition civil and stormwater design is meant to manage.

Do you handle the council submission?

We prepare the engineering drawings and documentation for council or certifier submission. Submission logistics are usually handled by your builder or draftsperson, but we’re available to respond to any council query on our design.
