Trusted Engineering Design Solutions in Newcastle
Established in 1992, EDC Consultants has redefined engineering design solutions for structural steelwork across Australia's mining, resources, industrial, and commercial sectors. Our team of highly trained specialists leverages cutting-edge software like Tekla Structures and ProSteel to deliver fast, accurate, and reliable design services. By prioritizing client collaboration during the initial design phase, we eliminate inefficiencies inherent in traditional workflows. Our proprietary systems enable precise 3D modeling down to individual components, providing clients with data-rich virtual construction frameworks. This approach ensures accurate project tonnage estimates, seamless procurement processes, and reduced construction timelines.With headquarters in Newcastle and a proven track record on multimillion-dollar projects, we maintain open communication channels through interactive BIM platforms. Our commitment to innovation extends to DSTV-CNC integration, modular design coordination, and comprehensive project management. Over three decades, we've built a reputation for technical excellence, delivering zero site-call accuracy through embedded plate positioning and connection design expertise. Our value proposition centers on transforming design-phase data into competitive procurement advantages for clients nationwide.

Services
Engineering Design
Our engineering design services combine 30 years of expertise with advanced software to create precise structural solutions. We specialise in civil, structural, and mechanical design for complex industrial projects. Our team delivers detailed plans that integrate seamlessly with fabrication processes, ensuring accuracy from concept to construction while maintaining compliance with Australian standards.
Building Information Modelling
We implement comprehensive BIM solutions that provide data-rich virtual construction models. Our 3D/4D/5D modeling enables real-time collaboration across stakeholders. This technology allows clients to visualise projects in detail, optimise material procurement, and identify potential conflicts before construction begins, significantly reducing project risks and costs.
Construction Design Modelling
Our 3D design models offer component-level precision for structural steel projects. Using AVEVA BoCAD and Tekla Structures, we create interactive models that support fabrication workflows. These digital twins enable accurate quantity takeoffs, clash detection, and construction sequencing, improving efficiency across all project phases from tender to completion.
Project Coordination
We provide dedicated project coordination to streamline design and construction processes. Our specialists manage documentation control, stakeholder communication, and quality assurance. This service ensures seamless integration between engineering, fabrication, and construction teams, maintaining project timelines and budget parameters through systematic progress monitoring.
Connection Design
Our engineers specialise in custom connection design beyond standard handbook solutions. We collaborate with clients' design teams to develop site-specific connections that meet structural requirements. This service includes detailed calculations and documentation, ensuring safe, code-compliant installations while maintaining constructability and cost efficiency.
