ANS Structural Engineers works across all of metropolitan Adelaide and the regions around it, from an office in the Adelaide CBD. The ground, the slope and the wind change from one region to the next, so each page below covers what is worth knowing before you build there.
Where We Work
The practice covers all of metropolitan Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills and Mount Barker, Gawler, the Barossa and the northern growth areas, the Fleurieu Peninsula, Murray Bridge and further regional South Australia. The engineering is the same wherever the job is: a soil test and site classification first, then a footing and structure designed for that lot.
Sloping Blocks, Cut and Fill, and Ground That Changes Quickly
Split-level footings, retaining walls, trees and exposed ridgeline sites in the Hills, plus what to check on a new Mount Barker estate lot.

Why a lot-specific soil test still matters when the estate has a report, how volume builder programmes run, and sheds on rural blocks.

Design work is quoted the same way wherever the site is, and site visits and inspections outside metropolitan Adelaide are quoted with travel included. Soil tests and site surveys are carried out by specialist contractors that the practice briefs and coordinates, so you deal with one engineering contact from first enquiry to the last inspection. Every client gets a portal account to book work, follow each stage and download issued documents. See our services, how a job runs, or the notes for builders running programmes across several regions.
