Our structural engineering services cover residential, commercial, and industrial projects, including new constructions and renovations. We provide detailed designs, compliance assessments, and load-bearing analysis to ensure safety and durability. Clients benefit from RPEQ-certified expertise and tailored solutions for complex structural challenges.
Concrete GPR Scanning
Using advanced Ground Penetrating Radar technology, we identify reinforcement, voids, and defects in concrete structures without causing damage. This service supports pre-construction assessments, renovation planning, and structural integrity evaluations. Our engineers interpret scan data to guide safe and efficient project execution.
Underpinning Designs
We specialise in underpinning solutions for distressed structures, including residential and commercial buildings. Our process involves site investigation, design development, and onsite inspections to address foundation movement. Over 400 structures annually receive our expert rectification strategies to restore stability.

Recently engaged Booth Engineers services for help on certification on retrospective additions to a property we bought. We were recommended to them and so glad we were. My inital conversation with Leopold and his advice were critical to the success of the whole project. At all times they were fantastic, professional and saved us a good chuck of money with their experience and knowledge. Highly recommend!

We have used these guys a few times over the last 10 years but just recently I had a problem with my own home. The lady on the phone told me the guys I needed to talk to were out on site & she would ask them to call me (which they did). They came out and did a report on our place which is starting to have cracks. They were really helpful and explained everything to me including how to fix it and how much they thought it would cost. I don't know why people have had problems with them. They have always been great with me. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Really disappointed with the person I was put through to on the phone. Definitely did not want my business. I rarely change suppliers if I am happy with an existing, however always get my 2 or 3 quotes, and these people rated quite well on Google. Was really surprised by the service - after taking on 7 developments in my 20's, I had never actually come across anyone treat me so rudely, like an actual child, it was very strange. Do not recommend, but good luck if you use them.

Havent used an engineering company before so didn't know what to expect but they were recommended to me by 2 different people. Got a couple of quotes, they were medium price, & met the deadline in their quote. Good communication, they knew their stuff which gave me confidence, they also explained stuff in a way so that I could understand even though I'm not technical. Thanks Booth
