What ARCADO Pty Ltd does

ARCADO Pty Ltd is a privately-held Australian multidisciplinary design and engineering consultancy headquartered in Lane Cove, New South Wales. Founded in 2021 by Managing Director Dr Amin Noushini, the firm offers an integrated portfolio of six residential-focused services: Building Design, Interior Design, Lighting Design, Structural Design, Civil & Infrastructure, and Project Management. ARCADO serves residential property owners, developers, and high-end residential clients undertaking new builds, renovations, knockdown rebuilds, and property developments, with completed projects concentrated across approximately ten Sydney metropolitan suburbs including Castle Hill, North Turramurra, Glenhaven, Rouse Hill, Wahroonga, St Ives, St Ives Chase, Denistone East, Ermington, and Box Hill.

The firm's underlying capability set is conventional professional-services engineering and design: structural engineering design and certification for reinforced concrete, steel, and timber-framed structures (including retaining walls); civil engineering including stormwater concept plans, on-site detention (OSD) design, flood impact assessments, and concrete technology consultancy; DALI lighting control system design; interior design spanning concept through construction documentation and FF&E sourcing; and project management including feasibility studies, contractor coordination, quality control, and defect rectification. The team cites more than 15 years of specialised concrete-technology experience. There is no proprietary software, platform, or productised IP disclosed; differentiation rests on integrated multidisciplinary delivery rather than technology.

ARCADO's business model is fee-for-service professional consulting delivered directly by its in-house team, with project management offered on a fixed-fee basis and other services quoted by enquiry. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on the arcado.com.au website (service pages, featured projects, enquiry form, account creation), phone, email, WhatsApp, and a 'Book A Meeting' route to the Managing Director. The firm operates on a single-country, single-region (Sydney metropolitan) basis with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, parent company, subsidiaries, or partnerships, and appears to be entirely founder-owned and operated with a 1–10 person team.
