What Gamcorp does

Gamcorp Pty Ltd (trading as Gamcorp Structural Engineers) is a privately held Australian structural engineering consultancy headquartered in Richmond, Victoria, founded in 2009. The firm provides structural assessment and certification services primarily for the commercial solar industry across Australia and New Zealand, operating through two sub-brands: Solar Ready (roof-mounted and ground-mount PV structural certification, PV array frame product certification, and the Solar Ready Structural Passport for building owners) and Fabrication Ready (skid base design, lifting certification, custom steel structures, telecom foundation design, portable cabinet certification, and light gauge steel design). The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and operates under AS/NZS 1170.2:2021, AS/NZS 4600:2018, and AS/NZS 1664 standards, with engineering credentials spanning Engineers Australia, BPEQ, Victorian professional engineering registration, and CPEngNZ.

The business operates as a project-based professional services consultancy with standardized per-kilowatt or per-square-meter pricing tiers ranging from approximately $1,100 for sub-250kW frame certifications to $19,200 for 3MW–5MW ground mount structural design, with custom enterprise quotes for projects above 5MW. Go-to-market is sales-led through website inquiry forms, Google Calendar appointment booking, and a Cognito Forms job submission system, augmented by direct phone/email outreach for large-scale ground mount projects. Gamcorp reports cumulative scale of 10,000+ commercial solar installations certified and 900MW+ of renewable energy projects certified. The firm holds a flagship partnership with Jurchen Technology as official Australian Engineering Partner for the PEG ground mount system.

Gamcorp is founder/management-owned with three directors (Martin Gamble as Managing Director & Sales & Marketing Director, Sanna Afshar as Director of Operations, John Zhang as Director of Engineering & Projects) and a team of approximately 18 people across engineering, design, project coordination, and finance functions. No external institutional funding has been disclosed. Customer segments span commercial solar installers, commercial building owners, plant and equipment manufacturers, EPCs and developers, and international PV array frame manufacturers seeking ANZ market entry certification.

Revenue model

1. Solar Ready Certification Services: Professional engineering services for structural assessment and certification of solar installations on commercial buildings. Includes roof-mounted PV system certification, ground mount solar farm certification, and PV array frame product certification. Revenue is generated through fixed pricing tiers based on building size (kW capacity or roof area in m²) or project scale.
2. Fabrication Ready Structural Services: Engineering services for manufacturing compliance including skid base design, lifting certification, custom steel structures, telecom foundation design, portable cabinet certification, and light gauge steel design. Services are project-based with quotes requested via contact form.
3. Skid Base Design: Precision-crafted skid bases for pipe systems, large machinery, and HVAC skid bases requiring structural engineering analysis covering self-weight, imposed loads, wind forces, seismic activity, lifting analysis, hold-down fixings, and bracing specifications.
4. Telecom Tower Foundation Design: Structural design services for concrete and steel towers supporting telecommunications infrastructure, including foundation design for Rocla Concrete Mono Poles, steel poles, utility poles, and CCTV & lighting poles.
