Tips and tricks for building in Queensland.
Structural Engineers Brisbane
If you’re looking for a structural engineer in Brisbane, then I’d like to help you. I’ve been a structural engineer since 1991. I have been running my own business since 2003. I specialise in designing and certifying houses, extensions and renovations.
I can design and certify retaining walls, steel beams, new footings, relocated walls, double storey extensions and more. What’s more – I’m easy to talk to, I love taking your ideas and needs and making them a reality and I really, really like working with Queenlanders – the people AND the buildings!
My company is Cornell Engineers and our Brisbane office is located in Hendra. We happily service and inspect buildings all over Brisbane and throughout Queensland by appointment.
I’m here to help. Call me if you need a structural engineer in Brisbane. Phone 07 3102 2835.
If you are after home renovation or new build ideas and would like to see some of our current projects being built, add us on FaceBook.
Cyclone Damage

We are structural engineers. We can help you if your building was damaged by the cyclone.
We can assist with structural engineering and make-safe work after the cyclone. If it is important that you get the right beam size and repairs done quickly, call us for structural engineering in Ayr, Townsville, Bowen and Mackay.

Wind Speed
Buildings in Australia are designed to resist wind forces by complying with Australian Standards.
The “design gust wind speed” for a particular site is determined by considering the height of the building, the location of other buildings and topography on all sides of the building.
Houses in exposed locations or on tops of hills are designed for higher wind speeds and consequently higher forces than buildings in built-up areas.
The structural engineers at Cornell Engineers use the latest version of Australian Standard AS1170.2 to determine the wind speed for your structure.
Wind Classification to AS4055
Where the building complies with AS4055, we can classify the wind speed using that standard too.
Call us for a wind assessment for your building today!
On behalf of Jess and Kim, I’d like to wish our clients, friends and associates a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Our office is closed now until 13 January. Have a safe holiday season and we look forward to helping you again in 2014.
