Structural Engineering

Structural engineering focuses on designing and analyzing structures to ensure they are safe, durable, and meet regulatory standards. Structural engineers work on projects such as buildings, bridges, dams, and towers, using principles of physics and mathematics to determine the strength and stability of structures.

Civil Engineering

Civil engineering involves the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure and public works projects. Civil engineers work on projects like roads, bridges, water supply systems, and sewage treatment plants. They address challenges related to transportation, environmental sustainability, and urban development.

Building Design

Building design encompasses the creative and technical aspects of designing buildings and structures. Building Designers combine artistic vision with practical considerations to create functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces. They consider factors like building codes, environmental impact, and client requirements.
What is the difference between an Architect and a Building Designer?
An Architect is degree qualified and registered with the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, whereas a Building Designer will have a certificate or diploma and is registered with the relevant State Authority as a Building Designer (Practitioner).
Architects and building designers have overlapping fields. They can assist you in creating stunning designs for your space, taking into account your individual style and needs. Furthermore, they can create 3D plans and visualizations to give you an idea of how your finished project will look even before construction begins.  Aside from design services, both architects and building designers can provide detailed documentation of your project, including drawings and specifications, ensuring that everything is built according to your preferences. They can also help you obtain a building permit, ensuring your project meets all legal and regulatory requirements.Some Building Designers such as Alan Temling also have backgrounds in Structural and Civil Engineering or design which compliments their work, whereas Architects will outsource to Engineers.

Telecommunications

Telecommunications focuses on the transmission of information through various technologies such as telephones, television, and the internet. Telecommunications engineers design and manage communication networks, including wired and wireless systems, satellite communications, and data infrastructure.

Space Infrastructure

Space infrastructure involves the design and development of facilities and systems for space exploration and utilization. This includes spaceports, launch vehicles, satellites, and space habitats. Space engineers work on propulsion systems, life support systems, and communication technologies for space missions.

Temporary Works

Temporary works refer to temporary structures and support systems used in construction projects. These include scaffolding, form work, shoring, and temporary access solutions. Temporary works engineers ensure the safety and efficiency of construction processes by providing temporary support during building erection and maintenance.
