Melbourne's storm intensity and mix of clay and fill soils make stormwater management a real design problem, not an afterthought. We provide civil design and stormwater management for residential and commercial sites, sized to actually cope with local downpours and meet council engineering requirements.
What's included
- Stormwater drainage design for new builds and extensions
- Detention and retention system design where council requires flow control
- Civil site engineering for subdivisions and larger developments
- Council civil compliance documentation
Our process
- Site assessment. We review your site's fall, soil and existing drainage connections.
- Fixed-price quote. A clear price and delivery date before we start.
- Design. Drainage and civil drawings sized to council requirements.
- Council submission. Documentation prepared for your council's civil engineering requirements.
Who this is for
Homeowners adding hard surface area that changes site drainage, developers subdividing land, and builders who need stormwater detention design to satisfy a council permit condition.
Civil & Stormwater Engineering FAQs
When do I need a stormwater detention system?
Councils typically require detention when a development increases impervious (hard) surface area beyond a set threshold, to stop extra runoff overloading the local drainage network. We'll confirm if your project triggers this.
Do you handle civil engineering for subdivisions?
Yes — we provide civil site engineering including drainage design for subdivision and multi-lot development projects.
Is stormwater design part of a standard building permit?
Not always — it depends on your council and the scale of the works. We'll tell you at quote stage whether your project needs separate civil/stormwater documentation.
