Attena Creating visionary projects that respect and enhance their environment
Engineering that underpins confident construction
Engineering drives the on-site reality—not just the paperwork. From slab set-out and service penetrations to waterproofing junctions, plant space, and the “small” details that are costly to change later.
Our engineering consultancy service keeps those decisions coordinated, documented, and buildable—so you get fewer clashes, fewer surprises, and cleaner delivery.

What we actually do
Typical disciplines we coordinate (project-dependent)
- Structural
- Civil + stormwater
- Hydraulic
- Mechanical + electrical / building services
- Fire engineering / fire protection
- Geotechnical, acoustic, vertical transport and others where required

Where this helps most
- Complex sites and basements (tight tolerances, sequencing, penetrations, waterproofing interfaces)
- Multi-residential (stacking services efficiently, reducing repeated rework)
- High-spec homes (clean ceiling lines, plant placement, concealed services, quiet performance)
- Fit-out and refurbishment (services constraints, staging, keeping operations in mind)

Our workflow
- 1
Early technical review
We confirm constraints and priorities early (structure intent, services strategy, major penetrations, plant zones, drainage approach). - 2
Coordinated engineering during design development
Engineering inputs are aligned with the architectural intent and construction methodology—so documents don’t drift across disciplines. - 3
Documentation support for approvals and construction-readiness
Where relevant, we coordinate inputs through DA/CC stages and ensure packages are ready for trade pricing and construction sequencing. - 4
Clash reduction (BIM / coordination where useful)
For projects with higher services complexity, we use model-based coordination to identify conflicts before site work begins. - 5
Construction-phase clarifications
When site conditions or interfaces require decisions, we coordinate responses quickly to keep the program moving.
What you’ll typically receive
Deliverables vary by scope, but commonly include:
- Coordinated engineering drawings and specifications (discipline-dependent)
- Documented assumptions and constraints (so pricing and decisions are clear)
- RFI/clarification support during construction (as agreed)
- Coordination notes / clash outcomes where BIM coordination is used
Where this helps most
- Site address + survey (if available)
- Architectural drawings (even early concept is fine)
- Any geotech or existing-services info (if relevant)
- Your priorities (budget, timeline, key non-negotiables)

Send your drawings (or even a concept plan) and we’ll advise the most practical next step—early review, coordination scope, and what engineering inputs you actually need for the stage you’re in.
FAQ's
We coordinate engineering through a trusted network of consulting engineers, matched to the project needs and stage.
Early—before layouts and ceiling/service zones are locked in. This is where you avoid redesign and site changes later.
No. BIM coordination is most useful when services/structure complexity is high or clashes are likely.
