Extend your engineering capacity
without expanding your team.

Aedo Engineering works alongside international engineering and construction firms — structural analysis, design development, architectural and electrical documentation, detailing, and structural BOM/BOQ — while your firm keeps the client relationship and local professional sign-off.

Who this is for

Built for firms with more work than hands

Your best fit isn't a homeowner overseas — it's a small technical team that already has clients and already understands engineering, but hits a production ceiling a full-time hire can't fix cost-effectively.

Structural engineering firms

Overflow design, analysis & documentation when the pipeline outpaces headcount.

Design-build & contractors

Structural drawings and quantities produced alongside the build schedule, not behind it.

Steel & concrete fabricators

Detailing and member schedules that match how the piece is actually going to be built.

Developers

Recurring design and quantities across a multi-project pipeline, without an in-house team.

Occasionally-overloaded consultants

A production partner for the weeks the workload doesn't match the bench.

Project types

Structures we take on

If your project falls into one of these categories, it's a fit for a scope conversation.

Residential buildings

Commercial buildings

Industrial structures

Steel buildings

Reinforced concrete structures

Warehouses

Roof structures

Structural alterations

Existing-structure assessments

Scope of work

One engineering workflow, several outputs

Structural engineering support is the core, and BOM, BOQ and quantity data come off the same model and drawing set — reconciled against each other, not built in isolation. Architectural documentation and electrical design run alongside it, coordinated with the structural set rather than drawn separately.

Structural analysis

Load calculations, gravity, wind & seismic analysis to your specified standard.

Design development

Beam, column, slab, foundation, steel member & connection design.

Structural modelling

Model build, design checks, and calculation packages ready for review.

CAD documentation

Framing plans, foundation plans, sections, details & drawing revisions.

Rebar & steel detailing

Structural schedules and detailing matched to how the frame gets built.

Structural BOM & BOQ

Bill of materials, bill of quantities & takeoff for the structural scope, reconciled against the drawing set.

Architectural documentation

Floor plans, elevations, sections, schedules & detail sheets in AutoCAD or Revit, drafted to your standards by an architectural draftsman working alongside the structural team.

Electrical design & analysis

Load schedules, panel schedules & single-line diagrams, power and lighting layouts, conductor and protective-device sizing, voltage-drop and short-circuit checks.

3D modelling & rendering

SketchUp and Revit models, plus rendered views for design review, client presentation or planning submission.

Software & handover

Files you can actually open

Everything is produced in the standard toolchain, so nothing needs converting on your end.

Analysis & design

STAAD.Pro and ETABS. You get the native model file plus the calculation package as PDF.

Drawings

AutoCAD or Revit. Delivered as layered DWG or the native Revit model, plus print-ready PDF sheets, on your title block and template if you send them.

Models & visuals

SketchUp models and rendered views for design review or client presentation, delivered as image files with the source model.

Quantities

BOM / BOQ as structured Excel workbooks — itemized, formula-live, not flattened exports.

Electrical

Single-line diagrams and layouts in AutoCAD, load and panel schedules as Excel, calculations as PDF.

Timezone

We work GMT+8. Brief us at your end of day and the work moves while your office sleeps; AU & NZ get live overlap most of the working day.

Process

How the engagement works

01 · Plans in

You send the existing project plans, design criteria, and applicable local code.

02 · Analysis & design

Structural model, load analysis, member design, calculation package.

03 · Documentation & quantities

Structural drawings, detailing, schedules, BOM / BOQ.

04 · Review & approval

Your locally licensed engineer reviews, approves, and seals where required.

Most of what decides whether an arrangement like this works happens in step 01. We wrote up the handover failures we see most often — and the scoping sheet that prevents them — in Outsourcing Structural Engineering: What Actually Goes Wrong.

Why not just hire a freelancer

A process, not a promise

Independent check

A second engineer reviews the output before it leaves Aedo.

Documentation consistency

Drawings, schedules & calculations cross-checked against each other.

Quantity reconciliation

BOM/BOQ figures checked back against the drawings before delivery.

One point of contact

You brief one team — not a roster of individual contractors.

Where the line is

What we deliberately don't promise

Aedo provides structural analysis, design development and documentation as engineering production support. Depending on jurisdiction, final review, approval, and sealing may require a locally licensed professional. Our work is prepared for review and approval by your firm's locally licensed engineer where required — Aedo does not represent itself as the engineer of record in a jurisdiction where it is not licensed to act as one. The same line applies to architectural work: our architectural output is drafting and documentation produced to your design intent and your office standards, for your architect to review, approve and seal. We do not act as architect of record and do not offer architectural design authorship. Electrical work follows the same rule: we produce the calculations, schedules and layouts, and your licensed electrical engineer reviews, approves and seals them.

We don't quote blind — scope, design standard, and review responsibility are agreed before work starts. And we don't compete on being the cheapest hour on the market; we compete on production reliability.

Questions

Frequently asked

No. Aedo prepares structural analysis, design development, and documentation as engineering production support, for review and approval by your firm's locally licensed engineer where required. Your firm keeps the client relationship and local professional responsibility.
We support a defined set of international design standards — IBC / ASCE 7 / ACI 318 / AISC 360 (United States), NCC / AS 1170 / AS 3600 / AS 4100 (Australia), NBC / CSA A23.3 / CSA S16 (Canada, jurisdiction-dependent), NZS 1170 / NZS 3101 / NZS 3404 (New Zealand), Eurocodes, and IBC-based or jurisdiction-specific requirements in parts of the Middle East. The exact code, edition, and jurisdictional requirements are agreed during project scoping.
A second engineer independently reviews every design output before it leaves Aedo, drawings and BOM/BOQ are cross-checked against each other rather than produced in isolation, and you have one point of contact instead of managing individual contractors.
Yes. We have an architectural draftsman working alongside the structural team, so floor plans, elevations, sections, schedules and detail sheets can come back in the same package as the framing and foundation set, in AutoCAD or Revit, drafted to your title block and office standards. We also build SketchUp models and produce rendered views when you need something for design review or a client presentation. This is production drafting to your design intent — your architect reviews, approves and seals it, and remains the architect of record.
Yes, as production support on the same terms as everything else. Load and panel schedules, single-line diagrams, power and lighting layouts, conductor and protective-device sizing, voltage-drop and short-circuit checks. You name the governing code and edition at scoping — NFPA 70 in the United States, AS/NZS 3000, BS 7671 in the UK, the Canadian Electrical Code — and we work to it. Your licensed electrical engineer reviews, approves and seals the output.
Send us a sample project or your current overflow scope at aedoengineering@gmail.com. We reply with a fixed quote and the applicable design standard, then start with a single project before discussing reserved capacity.
