Three-Storey Container Home Engineering

My three-storey shipping-container home for a Sydney site is on the drawing board as concept sketches only. A recent land survey provides accurate levels and boundaries, but every other engineering detail still needs to be developed, documented, and certified to meet New South Wales regulations (NCC/BCA and relevant AS steel, wind-loading and footing codes).

The scope centres on a complete structural and civil engineering package that can be lodged for DA/CC and construction:

• Full structural drawings and professionally-stamped calculations for the entire build
• Sizing and placement of all steel beams, columns and bracing members
• Connection design for container-to-container joins and interfaces with new structural steel
• Reinforcement schedules, welding details and corrosion-protection notes
• Footing and foundation design coordinated with the survey levels (pier, slab or hybrid system as you judge best)
• Drainage, storm-water and any civil elements required for approval
• A concise design report summarising assumptions, load paths and compliance references

Drawings should be issued in both PDF for council and DWG for my fabricator, with one round of revisions included to address any council or builder queries.

If this falls within your expertise in container construction and Australian standards, I can supply the sketches, survey and site photos immediately so we can agree on milestones and start dates.
