Steel patio or carport certified structural engineering drawings Australia
About this product
Engineering Plans Australia can provide online certification for standard patio details with maximum truss span of 8.5m. The patio detail can be constructed in a wide range of applications with a gable roof or skillion roof.
The online cost does not include specific certification required in Victoria. For projects in Melbourne we can provide certification as we are a Registered Building Practitioner Victoria. For projects in Victoria, please send us an online enquiry with the site plan and the geotechnical report and we will provide a site specific quotation for engineering.
The structure classification under the Building Code of Australia for a retaining wall is a Class 10b structure. The structural engineering, drawing, details and construction specification for the patio is in accordance with the performance requirements of the National Construction Code and certified by a Chartered Professional Structural Engineer.
A Building Permit is required for patios greater than 10m2. Our certified engineering drawings are suitable for council submission Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
The standard patio detail has been designed to withstand wind load over and will be adequate to support the wind loads as per region A. Criteria for building requirements, development and building approval requirements are to be confirmed with the local government authority.
For other structures such as sheds, pergolas, carports, gazebos, retaining walls, fence and screen wall details, please send us a message and upload the available documentation via https://www.engineeringplans.com.au/contact and one of our team members will be in touch with you within 24 hours.

Construction Requirements
We recommend that earthworks and site preparation is conducted in accordance with AS3798 "Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Developments".
Generally, this site preparation involves the removal of all organic material, rubbish, trees/stumps and back fill with clean compacted sand free of any voids. Place clean compacted sand fill to achieve the specified finished ground Levels. Compact to achieve minimum 7 blows per 300mm using a calibrated sand penetrometer and obtain compaction test certificates prior to pouring footings and retain for quality assurance.
Construct the footings as per the structural footing details. The footing detail recommended requires ongoing maintenance of the site to ensure its structural performance. Refer to CSIRO publication 10-91 “Guide to Home Owners on Foundation Maintenance and Footing Performance” for details. These recommendations and footing details provided are based on performance as defined in AS2870.
