Our services

Civil engineers unlock projects – from meeting planning conditions with local councils through to state authority approvals, our team is driven to get boots on the ground. Whether it’s urban redevelopment, infrastructure or land subdivision, we know the authorities, the processes, and the best-practice approach to deliver your site.

Having mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, acoustic, sustainability and façade engineers all under one roof is one thing - but delivering truly integrated designs is another. That's why we've brought all of these disciplines into one workstream - sharing business systems, BIM environments, training and development, and leadership teams means we communicate better and have each other's design considerations front of mind.

We design structures that work, on paper and on site. Across sectors and scales, we take a practical, collaborative approach to deliver lighter, more sustainable solutions that respond to cost, program, and construction realities. Our national team shares knowledge to create structural outcomes that stand up to the real world.

Our sectors

From office fitouts to complex commercial builds, we shape spaces that support both people and performance. Early collaboration helps us understand what matters most, so we can offer practical, buildable solutions that meet design aspirations, budget, and sustainability goals, bringing thoughtful workplaces to life across Australia.

We’re supporting Australia’s acceleration into digital infrastructure. Our integrated data centres team are trusted with COLO, mission critical, multistorey and EI Tier III/IV facilities, offering integrated services spanning from civil and structural engineering, through to acoustics services.

We’ve strengthened Australia’s education backbone through the delivery of hundreds of education projects. From minor preschool refurbishments through to major university projects, we offer multidisciplinary and integrated services to drive efficiency and effectiveness to enhance education outcomes.

Whether we’re meeting the demand for high tech manufacturing site in Queensland, designing hangers forcutting-edge aircraft in New South Wales, designing sophisticated communications antennas in Victoria, or administration buildings up and down the east coast of Australia, we bring our combined defence, industrial and logistics experience to every project.

We’re committed to better health outcomes for Australian communities and have contributed to over half a million square metres of clinical space. Our specialist team offers expertise that includes new medical clinics, hospitals, and specialist laboratories through to complex brown field refurbishments.

Clubs play an important role in their local communities; from providing vibrant meeting places to supporting local sporting clubs and charities.

Hotels have evolved over the past 20 years, from more simple accommodation based on room quality, to destinations that are often integrated with their broader precincts through food and beverage options, sport and rec facilities and function spaces.

With over 30 years of Industrial & Logistics experience, we know the most successful projects adhere to the idea that ‘form follows function’. Whilst we take our learnings from our past, we lean into the future, offering clients cutting-edge high-tech and optimised designs.

We believe that connected communities are better communities, so we’re partnering with councils, authorities, and private developers to design bridges, roads and transport networks that are safe, efficient, future proofed and support our growing cities.

We’re enabling Australia’s law and order through the engineering of considered infrastructure. We take a well-considered, experienced, and multidisciplinary approach, working with government bodies, architects, and builders to engineer courthouses and police stations, through to low and high-security correctional facilities and beyond.

We put community impact at the centre of our land subdivision projects. As your first step in turning land into communities, our team design for and support developers who are subdividing land for the residential and industrial communities of tomorrow.

We enhance community wellbeing and cultural experience through the engineering of spaces and places, across Australia. From parks, plazas, and cycleways to museums and galleries, we partner with creative designers to realise community aspirations.

We’ve been engineering Australia’s most beautiful homes for more than 40 years – and we’re not done yet. From custom houses and residential projects, through to build-to-rent and student accommodation developments, we provide streamlined end-to-end and practical multidisciplinary support to enhance your project.

We’re engineering comfortable living for the generation that gave us so much. Our multidisciplinary team create considered and welcoming spaces that respond to natural light, integrate intelligent building services, and sustainable design.

Sports infrastructure is about more than buildings - it’s about creating environments that inspire performance, enhance communities, and leave a legacy. From local ovals to Olympic venues, Northrop engineers deliver practical, sustainable, and community-minded solutions that bring people together and stand the test of time.

Our commitment to action on climate change pushes our team to maximise building efficiency in all our projects. We know the most efficient building is the one that you don’t build – it’s the one you already have.
