In South Australia, professional registration may be required for engineering, surveying and building certifying work. Cross-check accreditations with relevant state boards and review their familiarity with the Planning and Design Code.

Projects in the Adelaide Hills face bushfire exposure, while coastal builds near Victor Harbor demand corrosion-resistant detailing. A consultant with proven local case studies will foresee these nuances.

• Do they use cloud-based collaboration tools for real-time issue tracking?
• Can they integrate with your architect’s BIM platform?
• What is their average response time for RFIs?

Look for clear methodology, risk-management strategies and itemised exclusions. The cheapest quote often omits critical tasks that later generate variations.

Concept phase – feasibility studies, planning advice and preliminary costings (2-4 weeks).
Documentation phase – detailed drawings, engineering calculations and tender packages (4-12 weeks).
Construction phase – site inspections, contract administration and defect reporting (project duration).

Fees vary by scope and project value. As a guide:

• Engineering design: 2–4% of construction cost.
• Quantity surveying: 0.5–1.5% plus reimbursables.
• Project management: 3–6% for full EPCM services.

Use these figures as starting points and request fixed-price or staged lump-sum agreements where possible.
