Report
I used Rise Consulting as they were relatively small and would most likely be competitive, flexible and responsive. I found this to be the case and am happy with the end result. The project was to build a basement double garage and workshop partly under the house and abutting the neighbouring property. The build was complex as rock excavation, underpinning and drainage were complex with ground water coming from 3 sides. As I did not have a proper set of architects drawings they had to do the design and specifications almost from scratch. We also had a number of changes along the way which were

Report
We used Rise to design and manage major structural rectifications to the visitors car park in our block of 14 units. Rise was heavily involved in all stages of the project: Initial survey & conceptual design; detailed engineering specs; tender document; evaluation of tender responses; contract preparation & negotiation; management of the construction project to ensure adherence to design and formal sign-off of project stages; contractor claim approval. We found Rise to be highly professional, and proficient at both structural design and management of the construction project. Very friendly, flexible

We used Rise for civil/stormwater design and found them to be professional, meticulous while, at the same time, being flexible in their approach. Omid and Kimi were also very reliable in terms of onsite meetings and their fees were reasonable.. Recommended!

We're very happy with the work carried out by Rise Consulting Engineers. Our Stormwater was causing us great stress, but Omid and his team put our minds to rest; taking care of everything. Knowledgeable and friendly, they worked with us to provide all the designs and certifications we needed to bring our building to project up to code. Thankyou!

I recently had need for engineering reports on several construction issues at a residential site in northern Sydney. Rise Consulting Engineers were recommended by another engineering company who did not deal in the matters at our construction site. Rise Consultings service, punctuality and professionalism were first class. We will definitely use them again for all ongoing engineering services.
