structural
Van der Meer Consulting provides a consistently high level of structural design expertise and experience, accompanied by an outstanding knowledge of the demanding and ever evolving property sector. The built form benefits from a reflective and finely considered approach to solving structural engineering problems. Architecturally distinctive structures typically require a clearly defined engineering design response. Van der Meer is especially interested in unusual or complex structures with a strong architectural emphasis, and therefore employ an efficient, often innovative engineering design approach to achieve superior results.

Structural engineering design is one of van der Meer Consulting’s core strengths. We balance a sound knowledge of traditional design and construction techniques with an ability to innovate solutions that support our client’s briefs. Our structural projects include multi-storey and high rise residential, industrial warehousing, commercial, retail, hospitals and laboratories, community and recreational facilities, educational institutions, mining support buildings, temporary structures and event staging.
Van der Meer Consulting has extensive experience in providing structural steel and precast panel shop detailing services across many market sectors Australia wide. We are always seeking new complex and challenging architectural designs that push us to be innovative and strive ourselves in exceeding client expectations.
We deliver highly detailed and accurate shop drawings ensuring the accuracy of fabrication requirements, in addition we also provide structural engineering support where required. Our innovative problem solving process and stringent review procedures provide direct benefits to the steel fabricator and the builder. To possibly reduce overall project cost saving we can investigate the possibility of various design alternatives to the documented design, increasing the bottom line, and guaranteeing client satisfaction.
shop detailing
In order to generate time savings and to maximise benefit to the client and the consultant team, the shop drawing procedure is initiated at the earliest stage possible, when the project is still in design phase. Additionally this reduces the RFI’s required, and results in a smoother transition from design through to construction.

Van der Meer has integrated the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) across a large number of projects, and is recognised as an industry leader in the delivery of comprehensive 3D models. BIM is not a specific software, it is a process; a methodology. This process forms a digital representation of a project which contains detailed information about building elements, their properties and the construction process. This data can be used throughout the entire building lifecycle, and the life cycle is represented by 3D, 4D, 5D or 6D.

“We maximise the advantages of BIM throughout all phases of the project process, and are able to generate significant findings that can benefit project planning, construction costing, time scheduling and building life cycle management. The fast and easy retrieval of the intelligent data allows for ease of communication and integration, which in turn increases overall productivity.

Our aim here at van der Meer is to present a clear picture of complex earthworks designs. It is through the presentation of site layouts in 3D perspective views that the complexities of any given project can be readily visualised and appreciated.
Utilising advanced software and the latest 3D modelling techniques allows for any potential risks to be eliminated early on in the project, and provides accurate estimations for cut and fill, contaminated fill, and retaining wall quantities, ensuring a value engineered solution for the client.
A close working relationship exists between our structural and civil teams, which results in the maximisation of cost savings by minimising excavation and the removal of fill from site, the construction of unnecessary retaining walls and associated earthworks. This integrated approach guarantees a coordinated, practical and effective final design solution is achieved.
Our impressive portfolio demonstrates the flexible, inspirational and intelligent minds behind the projects we deliver, which allows us to tailor each design process in order to meet the needs of our clients. Van der Meer offers many specialist civil services including but not limited to:
