Samford Valley Projects

Samford Valley, Brisbane! What a beautiful spot to build your new home or plan an extension. Rolling hills. Country living close to the city. I think it is an absolutely delightful spot and I love heading out there to do inspections.

Cornell Engineers are proud to have been involved in a couple of Samford Valley construction projects recently. We’ve got one house

Treated Timber and Steel

This is a reminder to builders and designers (oh and sales people selling treated timber): Some chemicals used to treat external grade softwood timbers react with and corrode steel! If you are building and you are using pressure treated timber – call Cornell Engineers to discuss which fasteners and brackets you should be specifying or using – or have a browse here:

Structural Engineers Brisbane

If you’re looking for a structural engineer in Brisbane, then I’d like to help you. I’ve been a structural engineer since 1991. I have been running my own business since 2003. I specialise in designing and certifying houses, extensions and renovations.

I can design and certify retaining walls, steel beams, new footings, relocated walls, double storey extensions and more. What’s more – I’m easy to talk to, I love taking your ideas and needs and making them a reality and I really, really like working with Queenlanders – the people AND the buildings!

My company is Cornell Engineers and our Brisbane office is located in Hendra. We happily service and inspect buildings all over Brisbane and throughout Queensland by appointment.

I’m here to help. Call me if you need a structural engineer in Brisbane. Phone 07 3102 2835.
