What to check when hiring structural engineers in Australia
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Trade and building licensing in Australia is set by each state or territory. Check the relevant regulator (e.g. NSW Fair Trading, QBCC in Queensland, VBA in Victoria) that the contractor holds a current licence for the work type and value before you hire.
- For larger residential building work, confirm the contractor carries the home-building / domestic-building insurance your state requires before you pay a deposit. It is what protects you if the work is left unfinished or defective.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemised quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
How to judge a structural engineer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- In Queensland an engineer must be a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ), and Victoria now registers engineers too: verify registration for your state, or look for Chartered status (CPEng) on the National Engineering Register.
- Structural design must follow the relevant Australian Standards (AS 1170 loads, AS 3600 concrete, AS 1684 timber, AS 4100 steel) and the National Construction Code: ask how it's documented and certified.
- Confirm professional indemnity insurance, essential for design work, and a valid ABN on the ABN Lookup (abr.business.gov.au).
- Get a clear scope: site inspection, calculations, drawings, and certification you can give a builder or council.
Warning signs of a dodgy tradie
- Provides engineering in Qld without RPEQ registration, or can't be found on the National Engineering Register.
- Offers a structural sign-off without inspecting the site or seeing the actual conditions.
- No professional indemnity insurance.
- Vague scope with no documented calculations or certified drawings.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you RPEQ-registered (in Qld) or Chartered (CPEng/NER), and can I verify it?
- Will you inspect the site, and provide certified drawings and calculations?
- What standards and parts of the National Construction Code does your design meet?
- Do you carry professional indemnity insurance, and what is your ABN?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy structural engineer?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A structural engineer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend structural engineers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Structural engineers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a structural engineer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the structural engineer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
