What NB Consulting Engineers does

NB Consulting Engineers is an Australian professional engineering consultancy founded in 1997 through the merger of two sole proprietors. Headquartered in Warriewood on Sydney's Northern Beaches with a second office in Coolangatta on the Gold Coast, the firm employs 45 staff and delivers structural, civil, stormwater, and remedial engineering services. It specialises in architect-designed low- to medium-density residential buildings, ranging from small house additions and alterations to multi-storey unit developments and prestige residences, while also serving commercial, civil, and building condition assessment needs.

The firm's core service portfolio comprises structural engineering design and certification, civil design support, stormwater and flood analysis (including on-site detention, rainwater harvesting, water-sensitive urban design, and hydraulic analysis), remedial inspection and repair advice, and dilapidation reporting. Underlying technical capacity rests on a multi-disciplinary team that includes five Principals/Directors holding credentials such as CPEng, NER, NSW Professional Engineer, NSW Design Practitioner, RPEQ, and MIEAust, supported by two Associate Directors, multiple Senior Engineers, a CAD team, and project coordination and administrative staff across both offices.

NB Consulting operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model. Fee proposals are issued within two to three business days of an enquiry, with project scope, turnaround times, and fees defined upon engagement. Revenue is generated through professional services fees paid by builders, developers, architects, and property owners across greater Sydney, the Central Coast, and the Gold Coast region. The firm acquires new work primarily through its professional website, direct enquiry by phone or email ([email protected]), and client referrals; no subscription or recurring-revenue components are disclosed, and there is no institutional investment or parent company on record.
