Civil and Structural Engineer

I'm a Civil and Structural Engineer based in Sydney and the founder of Novo Engineering — a consultancy specialising in residential and light commercial projects across Greater Sydney. With over 10 years of experience and hundreds of projects delivered, I provide engineering that is practical, well-documented, and approval-ready. Every project is led and delivered by me directly — from initial brief through to certification. Clients work with the engineer, not an intermediary. Services I provide: Structural design & certification Stormwater & OSD design Slab, footing & retaining wall design Driveway & civil plans Steel & timber framing (AS 1684 / AS 4100) Dilapidation reports Construction-phase inspections NCAT structural reports AutoCAD structural & civil drafting DA, CDC & CC documentation I work with architects, building designers, builders, developers, private certifiers, and homeowners. My deliverables are structured for the people who actually use them — coordinated drawings that read clearly alongside the architectural set, and reports that answer the right questions without unnecessary complexity.
