Open Plan Renovations Often Hide More Engineering Than You Think

The most effortless-looking spaces can require some of the most carefully considered structural solutions.

Removing walls to create an open-plan layout doesn’t mean removing the structure that was supporting them. Instead, beams can be concealed within ceilings, columns incorporated into walls and connections carefully detailed behind the finishes.

The result? A modern, uninterrupted space where you see the design, not the engineering making it possible.

Good structural engineering doesn’t need to dominate a room. Sometimes, the best engineering is the part you don’t see.

👉 Planning an open-plan renovation? Structerre can develop structural solutions that work with your existing home and your design vision.

Energy efficiency isn't one size fits all.

Energy efficiency requirements under NCC 2022 are tailored to Australia's diverse climate zones, helping ensure homes are designed to perform effectively in their specific environmental conditions.

From hot, humid conditions in the north to cooler climates in the south, factors such as insulation, glazing, building orientation and thermal performance can require a different approach depending on where a home is being built.

That's why understanding the local climate is an important part of achieving an effective energy assessment. The right approach can help support compliance while contributing to a home that is more comfortable and energy efficient throughout the year.

With teams and experience across Australia, Structerre combines national capability with an understanding of the local conditions that influence residential design.

The 10 Year Club celebrations continue! 🎉

Following our recent WA lunch, it was Victoria’s turn to bring together our long-standing team members for their annual 10 Year Club celebration.

Each year, the lunch recognises those who have reached 10 or more consecutive years with Structerre and provides an opportunity to catch up, celebrate the milestone and reflect on the many years, projects and experiences shared along the way.

Seeing our 10 Year Club continue to grow across the country is a great reflection of the experience and knowledge within our teams, and the long careers so many people have built with Structerre.

A big thank you to our Victorian 10 Year Club members for everything you continue to contribute. We hope you enjoyed the celebration!

Thinking about transitioning from brick to framed construction?

With WA’s current brick supply challenges prompting more builders to explore alternative construction methods, timber and steel framing can offer another option. However, changing construction systems also brings different structural and compliance considerations.

For framed construction to perform as designed, there are a number of critical details that need to be installed correctly, including:
• Tie-downs and connections
• Bracing wall locations
• Bracing wall fixings
• Portal frame installation
• Local and global stability

Getting these details right during construction is critical.

Structerre’s Inspections team can undertake compliance inspections against the approved structural drawings, checking that key structural elements have been installed correctly and in accordance with the design.

With extensive experience across residential engineering and inspections, our team can help identify issues early, while important structural elements are still visible and can be addressed before construction progresses.

If you’re considering a move from brick to timber, steel or another framed construction method, Structerre’s engineering and inspections teams can support you from design through to construction.

This month we’re celebrating an incredible 15 years with the business for Sarah! 🎉

Sarah started her journey with Structerre 15 years ago as an Administrator in the Residential Certifications division. Back then, her days involved plenty of printing, hand-stamping and scanning engineering drawings for clients - long before the automated processes we have in place today! She then went on to become Administration Team Leader, before starting her career in the Executive Support space. Today, Sarah is our Executive Assistant to CEO, John Gelavis.

Throughout her 15 years, Sarah has earned a reputation for being the person who is easy to approach and who always comes through with what is needed. The knowledge and experience she has built over the years is invaluable, and highly respected by her colleagues across the entire business.

Outside of work, Sarah is a family girl through and through. She loves spending quality time with her fiancè and daughter, and is currently spending most of her spare time wedding planning!

Congratulations on 15 years, Sarah! Thank you for everything you bring to the business, we are so lucky to have you.

Are Compliance Inspections Only Needed for New Homes?

While compliance inspections are common on new homes, they can also play an important role in renovations, extensions, custom homes and some commercial projects.

Any project involving structural work or important construction stages may benefit from a review before work becomes concealed. This could include new footings for an extension, suspended concrete slabs, altered roof framing, masonry walls or waterproofing within renovated wet areas.

The need for an inspection depends on the project scope, engineering documentation, approval requirements and the type of work being completed.

Renovation projects can sometimes involve additional complexity because new work must connect with an existing structure. Site conditions may differ from what was expected, original construction details may not be fully documented, and access can be more restricted than on a new build.

A staged inspection provides an opportunity to review visible work as the project progresses and create clear records for the people involved.

For homeowners, this can provide greater confidence during a renovation where important structural changes may eventually be hidden behind finished surfaces. For builders, it supports communication and helps document key stages before moving forward.

👉 Planning a renovation, extension or custom build? Talk to Structerre about whether compliance inspections should form part of your project.

With Western Australia currently facing significant constraints on brick supply, builders are looking at what other construction methods could help keep projects moving.

For more than 45 years, Structerre has worked alongside Australia’s residential building industry, with teams across the country providing engineering solutions for a wide range of construction methods.

In WA, our expertise extends well beyond traditional double brick construction. Whether you're considering timber framing, light gauge steel framing or another alternative construction system, our experienced structural engineering team can work with you to explore the options, provide practical technical advice and develop engineering solutions suited to your designs and construction requirements.

Changing construction methods isn't necessarily a simple substitution. It can influence structural design, detailing, energy ratings, connections and other elements of the build, which is why involving your engineering team early can help identify the practical implications before changes are made.

As WA’s residential building industry navigates the current brick supply challenges, we’re here to work through the options with our clients.

👉 Want to explore alternative construction methods for your designs? Just Call Structerre.
