The Upper Kedron Home
My role: Structural Engineer
The Roadblock: Construction Methodology Approach / Wind Rating Assessment
The (Re)Work: We applied the provisions of the relevant Australian Standards to identify the allowable wind rating for the site which was a rating lower than the clients had been previously advised. Further to this we presented and alternative approach to the structural system for the building which gave the clients a more cost effective and structurally efficient build.
Money Saved: Circa $100,000
The Result: The clients have been able to achieve a great outcome and improve their family home for which they are thankful for. “They have been able to save us more than just money. It has made our building experience a lot less stressful because of they have been extremely prompt to answer any questions I might have. They are also able to answer complex questions in easy to understand terminology.”
