Our Structural Engineering Services include:
Residential Structural Engineering Services
Single Dwellings
Our Melbourne residential structural engineering team specialises in single-dwelling projects, delivering reliable foundations, clear load paths, and robust roofing systems for new builds, renovations, and extensions. We design for simple, long-lasting performance tailored to local soil conditions, weather, and daily demands.
Multi-Unit Developments
Multi‑unit projects raise specific structural questions, like shared load paths, party wall design, and strict fire and safety requirements. Our structural engineering services support developers and builders from concept through completion, providing practical design choices and clear consultation at every stage.
Basement Design
Basement design in Melbourne needs careful attention to soil conditions, waterproofing, and retaining wall performance. We deliver detailed structural assessments and pragmatic designs that reduce risk, producing durable basements suitable for parking, storage, or extra living space.
Commercial Structural Engineering Services
Office Buildings
Dexcon designs office buildings to be flexible and efficient. Our building structural engineering team concentrates on even load distribution, service integration, and compliance with occupational safety rules, so spaces can adapt as tenant needs change.
Retail Spaces
Retail structures must handle varying customer flows and heavy fixtures without compromising safety or appearance. Our commercial structural engineering Melbourne team ensures buildings resist dynamic loads while keeping layouts open and attractive.
Educational Facilities
Schools and other educational facilities demand durability, safety, and accessibility. We design lasting structural systems with appropriate materials and full compliance with relevant standards, creating safe learning environments for students and staff.
Industrial Structural Engineering Services
Steel Portal Frames
As experienced industrial structural engineers in Victoria, Dexcon designs steel portal frames ideal for warehouses, factories, and large industrial buildings. These frames provide strong, clear‑span interiors that maximise usable space and make maintenance straightforward.
Precast Concrete Panels
We produce structural designs for precast concrete panels, favoured in industrial projects for their strength and rapid installation. Our work addresses load capacity and connection details that are vital to long‑term stability.
Industrial Slab Design
Industrial slab design supports heavy machinery and high traffic. Our structural engineering Melbourne team develops robust slab solutions tailored to the operational demands, including appropriate reinforcement and surface finishes.
