Thitchener Consulting is a structural engineering practice based on the Central Coast, with over four decades of experience across residential, commercial and specialised building projects.

Our depth of experience means we find workable solutions and straightforward answers where other engineers overcomplicate things.

Whether you are adding a deck, removing a wall, building a new home, or taking on a site that has stumped other engineers — we have seen it before, and we know how to get it done.

Every client gets the same thing: clear advice, sound engineering, and documentation that holds up with councils and certifiers.

We work with architects, builders, developers and private owners across New South Wales, South East Queensland, Northern Territory and Victoria.

Our clients engage us because we make their project easier — not because theirs is necessarily a hard one.

•       Structural design for new homes and major additions

Why Thitchener Consulting

45 Years of Practice

Established in 1980, Thitchener Consulting has engineered more than 24, 000 projects since its inception.

Registered Across Multiple States

We hold structural engineering registration in New South Wales, Queensland, Northern Territory and Victoria.

Experience That Benefits Every Client

Sloping blocks, coastal exposure, reactive soils, BAL-FZ bushfire zones — these are conditions we encounter regularly in every state.

That depth of experience benefits every client: when you engage Thitchener Consulting, you get an engineer who has solved harder problems than yours, which means your project runs more smoothly.

Long-Term Architect and Builder Relationships

We work closely with a number of trusted architects and builders on a collaborative basis.

That means faster, more integrated design outcomes — and fewer coordination problems on site.
