At Covey we offer a complete structural engineering service. Services include design to current engineering standards, best industry practise, attention to detail and use of modern design software for economic designs. Structural engineering department can assist to manage your project from initial preliminary advice through to complex design, construction documentation and onsite construction certification.
What We Do
Our experienced team of Structural Engineers collaborate with architects, clients, and builders to design robust, sustainable, and economic solutions for projects of all types and sizes.
Designer Homes
We deliver bespoke structural engineering solutions for luxury homes, working closely with architects to create residences that are both innovative and structurally sound. Our approach ensures that each design reflects the unique vision of our clients while maintaining the highest standards of safety and performance.
Townhouses/Low Rise Residential
Providing structural engineering services for townhouses and low-rise residential projects, we focus on creating efficient, durable structures that meet regulatory requirements and enhance liveability. Our expertise ensures seamless integration with architectural designs, optimising both space and budget.
Multi-Level Residential
We engineer multi-level residential buildings with a focus on sustainability, resilience, the efficiency of local knowledge and material use. Our designs accommodate the complexities of vertical living, modern architectural trends while ensuring timely designs, and long-term performance.
Commercial Buildings
Our structural solutions for commercial buildings are designed to support dynamic business environments. We deliver designs that maximise functionality, durability, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring that each structure meets the demands of modern commerce while being future-ready.
Industrial / Agricultural
Specialising in structural design for industrial and agricultural facilities, we develop robust and adaptable solutions that support operational efficiency. Whether it's a vehicle car workshop or an agricultural storage facility, our designs are tailored to withstand the unique challenges of each sector.
Aged Care Community Facilities
We provide structural engineering services for aged care and community facilities, with a strong emphasis on safety, accessibility, and comfort. Our designs are tailored to support the wellbeing of residents, ensuring that each facility is fit for purpose and built to last.
Sports & Educational Structures
Our engineering services for sports complexes, gyms, schools, and other educational facilities focus on creating versatile and durable structures that support a wide range of activities. We work closely with stakeholders to deliver designs that enhance user experience, safety, and long-term viability.
Marine & Wharf Structures
We offer specialised structural engineering services for marine and wharf structures, addressing the unique environmental challenges of these projects. Our designs prioritise durability, resilience, and minimal environmental impact, ensuring that structures can withstand the harsh marine conditions over time.
We continually seek the best balance of form, function, sustainability, constructability, schedule and budget.

Capabilities
Our structural team has design experience using:
- REVIT
- BIM – Building Information Modelling
- 3D Analytical and Design Software
- Spacegass Design Software
These systems ensure every detail is considered, leading to efficient and effective designs, irrespective of complexity.
Our structural team has design experience using:
|
| |
BIM | REVIT | |
Building Information Modelling is a process/technology/ platform that we use for our field work. We can create 3D models prior to sign off by the client. | REVIT is a 4D modelling software tool that allows us to visualise the project and then manage it to construction. | |
|
