Costin Roe Consulting

What Costin Roe Consulting does

Costin Roe Consulting Pty Ltd (CRC) is a privately held Australian engineering consultancy founded in 1989 in Sydney as Costin Structural Pty Ltd and renamed in 2001 following the arrival of partner Grant Roe. The firm delivers civil, structural, remedial, sustainability, strata, and flood-modelling engineering services, with a primary specialisation in large-scale industrial and logistics projects — multi-level warehouses, high-bay automated facilities, and multi-lot industrial subdivisions — for major Australian property trusts (Goodman, Charter Hall, Stockland, Dexus, Frasers Property, ESR/LOGOS) and end-users (Amazon, Woolworths, Coles, Australia Post). Notable firsts include engineering Australia's first multi-level industrial warehouse (AXIS Alexandria) and Australia's first robotic online shopping hub (Amazon BWU2, Oakdale West, 2020).

CRC's service delivery is built on an integrated in-house model combining civil, structural, remedial, and drafting teams, supported by proprietary technical capabilities including 5D BIM modelling (real-time cost recalculation on variable changes) and 2D TUFLOW flood simulation. The firm operates from five offices across Sydney (headquarters), Melbourne, Brisbane, Newcastle, and Wollongong, with project reach spanning NSW, VIC, QLD, and ACT and select international engagements. It also operates a wholly owned subsidiary, Strata Engineering Solutions (SES), focused on structural diagnostics, forensic engineering, and strata property remediation.

CRC generates revenue on a project-based professional services model, billing engineering consulting fees for design, documentation, and construction-phase services across industrial, commercial, residential, and infrastructure segments. Pricing is project-specific by scope; no standardised fee tiers are publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is predominantly enterprise field sales via direct engagement with major property trusts and specialist building contractors, reinforced by an award-winning project portfolio (Australian Steel Institute, MBA Excellence, Stormwater NSW/Stormwater Australia, UDIA QLD, ACSE) and thought-leadership outputs including research papers and white papers. The firm is management-controlled following founder Wayne E. Costin's 2017 retirement, with Grant Roe as Managing Director and Mark Wilson as Director, and shows no evidence of external institutional investment or parent-company affiliation.
