“Frank’s work is incredible!!! Being in steel fabrication for the past 20+ years I know how valuable it is to receive steel detailing that is accurate and precise. The staff at Hiconstek are very much appreciated on our end as you guys have helped us a lot and hope to continue our business with you in the near future. Very hardworking professionals that save us a lot of headache from the architect and engineer. Their pricing is also very competitive. We thank you very much.”

“Frank has helped us deliver numerous remote accommodation projects in the past 7 years throughout Australia and offshore including the Nauru Detention Centre. From concept design to structural detailing and shop drawing, Frank has always produced high quality engineering despite often very tight timeframes. Frank’s design outcomes are economical and practical, availability of materials and tradespeople are always considered including the aesthetic intent. I highly recommend Frank as a person and as a very capable Engineer.”

“We were putting in a new production line in Minto with steel platforms to support heavy machineries and material which we didn’t have a proper design with at the start due to most equipment are imported from overseas. HCT was recommended by our other business in Ingleburn to carry out the structural design and shop detailing and they have been very professional, attentive and able to get it done within a short time-frame. The fact that they can turn around a full package of design from our rough hand sketch Is very impressive, then work with the fabricator and installer to assist with erection of the whole thing just shows their professionalism is over and beyond any standards.”

“We had a hard time finding a practical structural engineer when we were trying to get our “unique” safety training platforms engineered from concept drawings. When other firms said no, it cannot be built, HCT Engineering said yes. HCT listened and understood what we required. The result was a “on time” complete certified structural design plus professionally detailed workshop drawings which made it very easy to go to tender. The program and lump sum price HCT offered was reasonable and did not vary through the project. We have recommended HCT to some of our residential and commercial building clients who are also happy with HCT’s services. It’s good to find no nonsense engineers who think outside the box!”
-
“We do a lot of custom designed homes as our clients often require unique and complex designs which also means that the structural engineering design needs to be optimised to suit the requirement of finishes. It is great to know that Frank can follow us through every stage from the conceptual design to construction and provide professional advice to ensure the clients design expectations are met.”

“Frank has been the easiest engineer to work with. He has delivered our stormwater design in a quick turn around and never had any issue with minor additional requests to assist us to achieve our council submission requirements. I would highly recommend HCT, they made the process easy and were a great team player in our project.”

“Frank is fantastic and he works tirelessly on my 10-studio project. His turn around time is lighting fast for the amount of work involved. We did the second soil test which saved us at least $20K on structural after we engaged Frank. I promise to take him out for a nice meal because the relentless certifier who made many changes along the way. I would not hesitate to engage him for my next project and would highly recommend his services to others.”
