About BSE

A small team, formed to fill a real gap.

Civil, structural, environmental engineers and project managers, based in Geelong VIC and working with clients across Australia.

Our story

Built to fill a gap, grown to take on complex work.

BSE Consulting Engineers began with a clear purpose: to fill a gap in structural design and compliance consulting for non-conventional, natural building projects, and to bring genuine engineering capability to government infrastructure design and construction in regional areas that larger firms often overlooked.

Since 2014, we’ve steadily built on that foundation — developing the systems, policies and procedures needed to guarantee quality, safety and environmental management on every project we deliver. That disciplined growth now allows us to take on large, complex government infrastructure projects across a full range of engineering disciplines, and to engage on international projects throughout the Pacific region.

Yet we’ve stayed a small team by design. Whether you’re an owner-builder planning a natural home or a government agency delivering critical infrastructure, you work directly with the engineers doing the work — the same rigour and attention, regardless of project size.

2014

Formed to provide structural design and compliance consulting for non-conventional, natural building projects, and engineering support for regional government infrastructure.

2017 — 2020

Capability grows

Structural design and geotechnical investigation capability expanded across private, owner-builder and council projects.

2019 — 2021

Environmental & compliance expand

State-wide onsite wastewater investigations and NCC building audit work for regional councils.

2023 — today

Government infrastructure delivery

Systems, policies and procedures developed to support superintendent and surveillance roles on large, complex regional infrastructure projects.

2024 — today

International development

Strategic partnership with ITS Pacific, supporting infrastructure projects across Tonga and the South Pacific.

Today

A small team, full capability

From owner-builder natural home design to large government infrastructure and international projects — still delivered by a small, hands-on team.

Our team

Our team consists of civil, structural and environmental engineers who are experienced project managers with extensive site experience. Several of our staff have trade experience in addition to their professional engineering qualifications — which shows up in how our designs get built, not just how they’re drawn.

Key advantages

How we work.

Vast knowledge base in a small team

Civil, structural, environmental and compliance expertise under one roof, so projects don’t stall waiting on separate consultants to align.

Small team flexibility & communication

You deal directly with the engineers doing the work, not layers of account management.

Meeting & exceeding client objectives

On scope, price, quality and schedule — the four things that actually determine whether a project succeeds.

Unconventional solutions

For complex problems, including projects using non-conventional materials and site constraints others might turn away.
