Competitive Rates
AXIS Structural Engineering has been purposely structured as a small business to reduce overheads and maintain competitive pricing for well over a decade.
At AXIS, you consult directly with our principal structural engineer with over 16 years experience who manages and designs your job personally.
Most consultancies have company directors or owners bringing in jobs, but then delegate residential jobs to graduates and young, inexperienced engineers.
They add significant price markups to cover their high salaries but the quality of work from graduate and junior engineers is usually lacking in many ways.
At AXIS, the quality of work, knowledge of codes and analysis techniques, and care taken on each job is second to none. In short, you get better quality of work and professional services that you would from other consultancies at lower fees.

Retaining Walls
Site plans, and elevation drawings (which includes the planning of ground levels that most councils now require) are included in the fee, but you must provide a current, accurate site survey in AutoCAD & PDF file format from your land developer or a local surveyor.
