A structural engineer makes sure a building can safely carry its loads, whether it is a new home, an apartment block, or an existing building being altered or repaired. MJ Engineering Projects provides structural engineering services across Sydney for homeowners, architects, builders, developers, strata corporations, commercial property owners, lawyers/solicitors, insurers, builders and developers. We cover structural design and documentation, structural assessments of existing buildings, and inspections and certifications, with the added depth of a team that also handles remedial work on the structures that other firms only design.
A structural engineer designs and checks the parts of a building that hold it up: the foundations, slabs, beams, columns and load-bearing walls. The goal is structural integrity, making sure the structure carries its own weight plus the loads from people, wind and everything inside it, without failing.
The work usually starts with the site. We assess soil conditions and load requirements, then carry out the structural analysis and design that sets the size and detail of each element. On most projects, we work alongside architects, builders and developers, turning a design intent into a structure that stands up and meets code.
A structural engineer is also called in when something changes or goes wrong: removing a wall, adding a storey, or investigating cracking in an existing building. That is where our remedial background matters, because we assess and rectify existing structures, not just design new ones.
We offer structural engineering services across the design and assessment lifecycle.
You can engage us as a structural consultant for a single design, or across a whole project from concept through to inspection.
We work on structural projects across three broad sectors.
Since 2007, we have worked on over a thousand residential, commercial and infrastructure buildings across Greater Sydney, so we have usually seen your defect before.
More than 18 years on Sydney buildings, with registered, NER-listed engineers.
Structural drawings, specifications and reports you and your builder can work from, with one point of contact across the project.

A structural engineer designs and checks the load-bearing parts of a building, like foundations, slabs, beams and columns, so the structure can carry its loads safely. That covers structural design for new work, structural analysis and assessments of existing buildings, and inspections and certifications. On most jobs, they work alongside the architect and builder to turn a design into a buildable, compliant structure.
You need one for a new build, an extension or second storey, or any time you remove or change a load-bearing wall. You also need one to assess cracking, movement or other structural issues in an existing building, for a pre-purchase structural check, or when a certifier or council asks for proof of structural adequacy. Class 2 buildings have their own registration requirements.
It depends on the scope, from a single inspection or letter through to full structural design and documentation on a large project. Size, complexity and how much site work is involved all affect the fee. We quote once we understand the scope, so you get a clear price before anything proceeds, rather than a generic figure.
A structural engineer focuses on the structure that carries a building’s loads. A civil engineer works on the broader site and infrastructure, such as drainage, stormwater, earthworks and roads. The two overlap and are often in the same firm, since a building project usually needs both. We provide structural and civil engineering, so the two sides are coordinated rather than split across consultants.
Generally yes. Under the Design and Building Practitioners scheme, regulated designs on Class 2 buildings in NSW must be prepared and declared by appropriately registered practitioners. The exact requirements depend on the design and the building, so confirm what applies to your project. This is general information, not formal regulatory advice.
