About Elliott
My Experience, Qualifications & How I Work For You
As a Structural Engineer, I have over 20 years of experience in multi disciplinary teams and alliances, both in the public and private sectors. In recent years, I have provided a personal consulting service to both building industry and the general public. I work individually with my clients offering quality service, friendly advice and cost effective solutions to design.
My background also benefits from practical knowledge of the building industry, with hands on experience in construction of both commercial and residential buildings. In recent years, I have also designed and built two homes for my family and am currently completing renovations to other investment properties. I believe being a builder as well as an engineer gives me a distinct advantage to offer customers creative yet practical solutions to design.
Located in Gin Gin Queensland, I provide a personal service as a Certified Structural Engineer to the extended rural region. Servicing areas from Rockhampton to Sunshine Coast, and west to Monto. I offer an excellent understanding of building legislation, with a creative approach to problem solving and a flexible working arrangement. With a complete service of design, documentation, technical reporting and engineering certification.
