/ When the building needs to do more

Your building was designed
for its original purpose.

Business needs change. You need to install heavier equipment, add a mezzanine floor, open up a load-bearing wall for a bigger shopfront, or increase the live load capacity for a change of use. These are structural changes that need engineering — not guesswork.

METCON delivers structural upgrades for commercial buildings, working with structural engineers to assess existing capacity, design strengthening or modification solutions, and execute them in occupied buildings. Every upgrade is engineered, documented, and certified.

Whether it's adding steel beams to support a new mezzanine or carbon fibre strengthening of existing concrete members — we bring the right skills and experience to every structural modification.

/ Six situations that need structural upgrades
Change of use requiring higher load capacity
Converting office to warehouse, retail to gym, or adding heavy equipment all require structural capacity assessment.
New openings in load-bearing walls
Shop front enlargement, dock door installation, or wall removal for open plan all need engineered structural solutions.
Mezzanine or additional floor level
Adding floor area within existing building height requires structural design for the new level and supporting structure.
Heavy equipment or plant installation
HVAC units, generators, industrial equipment, and plant platforms all need structural assessment of existing capacity.
Seismic or compliance upgrade requirements
Changes in building standards or change of use may trigger structural upgrade requirements for existing buildings.
Existing structural defects identified
Cracking, deflection, corrosion, or deterioration in existing structural elements requiring repair or strengthening.

/ What we deliver

Structural upgrades
for every need.

From simple beam installations to complex building-wide strengthening programmes, we handle every type of structural upgrade.

01
Building Strengthening

Increasing the structural capacity of existing buildings — additional columns, beams, bracing, and foundation strengthening. Engineered to match the specific deficiency.

02
New Openings & Modifications

Creating new openings in load-bearing walls and floors. Engineered steel or concrete lintels, temporary propping, and load transfer design.

03
Mezzanine Construction

New mezzanine floors within existing buildings for additional office, storage, or operational space. Structurally independent or integrated with existing structure.

04
Equipment Platforms

Structural platforms for HVAC, plant equipment, generators, and industrial machinery. Designed for specific equipment loads and vibration characteristics.

05
Steel Reinforcement

Additional steel members, connection upgrades, and bracing systems to increase capacity or modify load paths in existing structures.

06
Carbon Fibre Strengthening

Externally bonded carbon fibre reinforcement for concrete beams, columns, and slabs. Non-invasive strengthening that adds capacity without adding bulk.

/ Our process

Assessed. Engineered.
Built. Certified.

Every structural upgrade follows our structured five-step process. The existing structure is assessed first — then we design around what's actually there.

01
Step 01
Existing Structure Assessment

We inspect the existing building, review original drawings where available, and assess current structural capacity. This data drives the engineering design.

02
Step 02
Structural Engineering

A qualified structural engineer designs the upgrade — strengthening method, new members, connections, and construction sequence. Nothing is assumed.

03
Step 03
Construction Planning

We develop the construction methodology around the building's operations. Staging, temporary support, access, and disruption management planned in detail.

04
Step 04
Execution

Our team carries out the structural works per the engineer's specification. Welding, bolting, propping, and concrete work documented at every hold point.

05
Step 05
Certification & Handover

Engineer inspects and certifies the completed upgrade. Full documentation provided — design, construction records, and certificates for BCA compliance.

/ What you get
A stronger building —
with the engineering to prove it.

Structural design, construction documentation, test records, and engineer certification. Everything needed for BCA compliance, insurance, and building records.
