Structural Engineer Required for G+5 Residential Building (BS Code)
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
We are seeking an experienced structural engineer to prepare the complete structural design for a G+5 (ground plus five floors) residential building.
The project has a defined architectural concept, and full architectural drawings will be provided at the start of the assignment. Additional clarifications and details will be supplied as required during the design process.
Project overview and design conditions:
The building consists of ground plus five floors.
The first, second, and third floors each have different architectural layouts.
The fourth floor replicates the first-floor layout.
The fifth floor replicates the second-floor layout.
Structural design must strictly avoid placing columns within the middle of any room.
Beams must not interrupt living rooms unless they can be fully concealed within a false ceiling with a maximum depth of 300 mm.
All façade decorative and architectural elements must be fully considered and integrated into the structural design.
Scope of work and deliverables:
Initial stage:
Propose column and beam locations based on the architectural plans.
Propose slab system/type suitable for the building configuration.
Any existing structural columns shown in provided drawings must be ignored at this stage.
Upon approval of the preliminary structural layout:
Proceed with full structural analysis and detailed structural design.
Provide complete structural calculations.
Produce construction-ready structural drawings.
Technical requirements:
All structural analysis, calculations, and detailing must comply strictly with British Standard (BS) codes.
The design must be clear, efficient, and coordinated with architectural intent.
Drawings must be suitable for construction and authority review.
Candidate requirements:
Proven experience in multi-storey residential structural design.
Strong knowledge and practical application of British Standard codes.
Ability to work accurately from architectural drawings and design constraints.
High attention to detail and coordination between architectural and structural elements.
