Concrete anchorage, timber framing design and inspections, commercial foundations, bridge inspections and building assessments across Melbourne and Victoria. Every job is led by a chartered engineer with a PhD and a research background in anchorage to concrete.
From concrete anchorage and timber framing to commercial foundations and existing buildings. Each service page lists what is included, the standards we work to and common questions.

Share drawings, photos or a short description through the enquiry form or by email.
We confirm the scope, fee and timeframe in writing before any work starts.
We design, check and issue drawings, calculations and the certificates your building surveyor needs.
We answer site questions and inspect key stages so the work matches the design.
A chartered engineer leads every KiVo project. Research on anchorage to concrete and work on Australian Standards shape how we design, from a single base plate to a multi-storey building.
