What our Customers are saying

What builders, homeowners, and manufacturers across Australia are saying about our structural engineering services.

Engineered for Constructability

"No one else gives the amount of thought that you do to how a project actually has to come together. Most engineers ignore constructability and just leave it to the builder to figure it out later."

"

Above-and-Beyond Service

"Scott and the team at Ardent were extremely helpful. Before any quoting, Scott took the time to chat with me to explain the whole process and even answered questions that didn’t pertain to engineering. Scott was able to design the engineering report without an in-person visit, which saved us on costs. An extremely efficient company that provides up-front wait times to ensure communication is open. I would highly recommend Ardent Engineering."
