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

Engineered for Constructability

"Scott at Ardent Engineering was very responsive, diligent and helpful all the way through our small engineering job - and also afterwards with several additional queries, which he assisted us with just as quickly. Highly recommended."

Miranda Cornish

Property Owner

"

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."
