From residential patios to large-scale industrial structures — Upright Engineering delivers precise, code-compliant engineering across a full range of project types, backed by purpose-built technology and 11 dedicated structural engineers.
Whether you're a national manufacturer processing hundreds of projects or an owner builder tackling your first shed, you'll receive the same level of expertise, communication, and care.
Our custom engineering software was built specifically to handle the volume and complexity of large manufacturing clients. We integrate directly into your workflow to deliver fast, consistent, and scalable engineering outputs — processing hundreds of unique configurations per year for a single client.
No project is too small. We work directly with architects, licensed builders, and owner builders to provide structural engineering and certification that gets your project through building approval — without unnecessary delays.
Our core engineering services cover the full range of residential, commercial, and industrial structural work — all backed by our in-house engineering software and a team of 11 accredited structural engineers.
Shed engineering is our core specialty, and where our purpose-built software delivers its most significant advantage. We work with residential homeowners, farmers, commercial operators, and major shed manufacturers across Australia and New Zealand to deliver fast, accurate structural engineering for sheds of every size and configuration.
We're registered to certify shed structures in every Australian state, and our team has extensive experience navigating the local authority requirements, wind classifications, and soil conditions that vary across the country. Whether you're building a basic garage or a 60-metre industrial complex, the engineering standards are non-negotiable — and we know them inside out.
Our software advantage is most visible here: our integrated platform efficiently handles custom shed configurations from design through to certification, without compromising quality or compliance.
Patios, verandahs, and decks require the same rigorous structural engineering as any other building component — and they must meet the same NCC compliance requirements for building approval. We provide structural design and independent certification for all types of outdoor structures, from simple flat-roof residential patios to complex multi-level commercial decks at remote or challenging sites.
We've worked on commercial decks at mining sites in remote South Australia, residential gable-roof patios in suburban Adelaide, and everything in between. Regardless of location or complexity, our engineers apply the same level of care and precision.
Structural framing is the skeleton of every building, and getting it right is fundamental to the safety, durability, and cost-effectiveness of the finished structure. We provide complete structural framing design for residential and commercial projects across a range of materials and structural systems.
Our engineers have experience with cold-formed and hot-rolled steel framing, LVL and traditional timber framing, and hybrid structural systems. We work with the full range of Australian Standards — AS 4600 for cold-formed steel, AS 4100 for hot-rolled steel, and AS 1720 for timber structures.
Building certification is the formal process by which a qualified professional engineer verifies that a structural design complies with the National Construction Code (NCC) and all relevant Australian Standards. Without it, your project cannot receive building approval — it's a mandatory step, and it's often the one that causes delays.
Upright Engineering provides independent certification services across all Australian states. We also work with clients in New Zealand on the engineering and design side of their projects. We hold multiple state-based registrations including RPEQ in Queensland, Registered Structural Engineer in WA, and Endorsed Building Engineer in WA — in addition to our Engineers Australia Chartered membership at the national level.
Our structural engineering capability extends well beyond residential projects. We regularly work on commercial and industrial structures, providing engineering design and certification for projects that require larger spans, heavier loads, and more demanding site conditions.
We've delivered structural engineering for commercial projects at remote mining sites, large industrial processing facilities, school infrastructure, and multi-use commercial buildings. The same accreditations and engineering rigour that apply to residential projects apply equally here.
The right footing design can mean the difference between a project that proceeds smoothly and one that's plagued by structural problems or cost overruns. We design footing systems for a wide range of soil conditions, site constraints, and structure types — from standard pad footings to complex bored pier and raft systems for difficult ground conditions.
We also design retaining walls across a range of materials including timber, masonry, precast concrete, and steel — bringing the same rigour to these elements as to the structure they support.
From first enquiry to certified documentation, we've designed our process to be fast, clear, and as straightforward as possible.
Tell us about your project. Send plans, sketches, or just a description — we'll assess what's needed.
We provide a clear quote and outline exactly what we'll deliver and when you can expect it.
Our engineers design and analyse your structure using our purpose-built software platform.
All work is independently checked before a registered engineer certifies compliance with NCC and Australian Standards.
You receive your certified structural drawings, calculations, and all building approval documentation.
The speed our clients experience isn't luck or corner-cutting. It's the result of a decade of investment in purpose-built engineering technology developed specifically for how we work.
Built in partnership with our sister company Alltraders, our platform integrates structural calculations, graphic design, and material take-off into a single workflow — removing the manual steps that slow down structural engineering delivery.
Our software generates accurate material schedules and quotation documentation alongside the structural engineering — giving you everything in one package rather than waiting for each piece separately.
With eleven structural engineers — all working on the same platform, with the same processes and standards — we can handle significant project volumes without sacrificing quality or turnaround time.
"Sam and Hang, as well as Michael, were incredibly responsive and provided a turnaround on average of 10 business days for documentation from the date I gave them the go-ahead."
