Residential Structural Design

  • New Construction & Renovation

    Bond Engineering partners with architects, designers, contractors and homeowners in order to take a holistic approach to the home design. Bond Engineering has the structural engineering knowledge to prepare marked up plans containing precise structural content. Bond Engineering strives to work with clients, understand their needs, determine design solutions and deliver an optimal structure within code and specification requirements.

    Our architectural & design partnerships work to create thoughtful, attractive homes that offer high functionality and convenience.

  • Foundation Design

    As part of our residential structural engineering offering, Bond Engineering designs all types of poured concrete foundations - from simple to advanced rebar reinforced. We will review all requisite load parameters, local building codes and residential proposals to design a suitable foundation for your project.

    At Bond Engineering, we specialize in residential engineering. So whether you’re adding another story on top of an existing home or expanding your home by building onto unused space on your property, Bond Engineering will ensure that the structural components are suitable to support your project, as we are fully aware of their importance.

  • Load Bearing Wall Removal

    Looking to open up a room, create a pass-through or join two separate rooms together? Removal of a load bearing wall can offer one of the most dramatic and practical transformations to an existing space, allowing for more natural light, more floor space and increased utility and furniture placement. Especially in older homes with segmented floor plans and closed-off room, this approach can generate a more modern, open-concept aesthetic. At Bond Engineering, we can provide structural analysis and beam selection using steel, timber or concrete to open up your residential space. This is also an excellent way to add significant value to a home.

  • Accessory Dwelling Units & Garages

    During the current struggle with housing affordability, the creation of accessory dwelling units can offer additional housing units and intensification without requiring the development of new land. Whether you’re a homeowner, developer or investor, an accessory dwelling unit might be of interest to create a self contained rental apartment within your home.

    These accessory dwelling units are often located in an unused basement space, but can also be located in a loft area (such as above a garage or in an attic) or may be a separate space altogether, such as in an accessory building or new addition.

  • Residential Additions

    Whether building up or building out, Bond Engineering can help. We specialize in transforming existing structures and have facilitated the remodelling and expansion of many forms of homes. Bond Engineering can offer a cost-efficient way to scale up your living space. With home prices on the rise, families and investors alike are considering expansions to existing homes as an alternative to “trading-up” and purchasing a larger property. Bond Engineering is prepared to help you achieve your real estate goals, including the creation of new space on an existing property.

  • Vaulted Ceilings & Attic Conversions

    Bond Engineering can design framing and roofing systems that can enhance the structural rigidity, interior volume or overall aesthetic of your home. If you’re looking to finish an attic space, expose ceiling beams, create a covered porch, or are looking to build an addition or new home, Bond Engineering has the experience to deliver a customized solution that matches your requirements.

  • Decks

    While Decks offer wonderful functional areas for you and your guests to enjoy, ensuring they are built to standard is essential in ensuring people’s safety. At Bond Engineering we specialize in deck construction. Whether you plan to use helical piles or concrete pad and pier construction, both offer a cost-effective, relatively quick-installation solution for decks. As some homeowners would like to install hot tubs on top of them or installed within them, such an external structure exposed to the elements requires lateral, download and upload restraint.

  • ICF (Insulated Concrete Formwork)

    Modern and innovative construction methods including insulated concrete formwork offer increased construction efficiency, while still maintaining compliance to codes and standards. In this current housing shortage, Bond Engineering assists architects, designers, contractors and homeowners optimise their construction methodologies.
