We engineer, design, and deliver structural upgrades for commercial and industrial buildings across Sydney. Load capacity, new openings, mezzanines, equipment platforms. Making existing buildings do more, safely.
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.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a free site visit. We will tell you straight what your site needs.
Converting office to warehouse, retail to gym, or adding heavy equipment all require structural capacity assessment.
Shop front enlargement, dock door installation, or wall removal for open plan all need engineered structural solutions.
Adding floor area within existing building height requires structural design for the new level and supporting structure.
HVAC units, generators, industrial equipment, and plant platforms all need structural assessment of existing capacity.
Changes in building standards or change of use may trigger structural upgrade requirements for existing buildings.
Cracking, deflection, corrosion, or deterioration in existing structural elements requiring repair or strengthening.
Need a structural modification? Send us the details and we'll coordinate the engineering assessment.
From simple beam installations to complex building-wide strengthening programmes, we handle every type of structural upgrade.
Increasing the structural capacity of existing buildings, additional columns, beams, bracing, and foundation strengthening. Engineered to match the specific deficiency.
Creating new openings in load-bearing walls and floors. Engineered steel or concrete lintels, temporary propping, and load transfer design.
New mezzanine floors within existing buildings for additional office, storage, or operational space. Structurally independent or integrated with existing structure.
Structural platforms for HVAC, plant equipment, generators, and industrial machinery. Designed for specific equipment loads and vibration characteristics.
Additional steel members, connection upgrades, and bracing systems to increase capacity or modify load paths in existing structures.
Externally bonded carbon fibre reinforcement for concrete beams, columns, and slabs. Non-invasive strengthening that adds capacity without adding bulk.

Every structural upgrade follows our structured five-step process. The existing structure is assessed first, then we design around what's actually there.
We inspect the existing building, review original drawings where available, and assess current structural capacity. This data drives the engineering design.
A qualified structural engineer designs the upgrade, strengthening method, new members, connections, and construction sequence. Nothing is assumed.
We develop the construction methodology around the building's operations. Staging, temporary support, access, and disruption management planned in detail.
Our team carries out the structural works per the engineer's specification. Welding, bolting, propping, and concrete work documented at every hold point.
Engineer inspects and certifies the completed upgrade. Full documentation provided, design, construction records, and certificates for BCA compliance.
Structural design, construction documentation, test records, and engineer certification. Everything needed for BCA compliance, insurance, and building records.
Structural modifications in existing buildings need a builder who understands engineering. We work at the structural level every day. Assessment, engineering coordination, and precision execution in occupied buildings.
Every structural upgrade starts with engineering assessment and is executed to engineer specification.
We carry out structural modifications in operating commercial buildings with minimal disruption.
Meteora Constructions Pty Ltd, fully licensed in NSW with all required insurances.
In-house capability for structural steel installation, welding, and reinforced concrete construction.
Full construction documentation, hold-point records, and engineer certification on every project.
Hands-on Sydney building experience going back to the 1970s.
Real reviews from homeowners, strata and builders.
We needed a large gabion wall for a steep commercial block. Engineered, certified, and done on time. Professional from start to finish.
We got three quotes. METCON was not the cheapest but was clearly the most thorough. Worth every dollar.
I called three builders and METCON were the only ones who actually came to look at the site before quoting. Honest pricing, no surprises.
Straight answers from the builder. Anything else, just ask.
Yes. We manage the entire process, including:
You do not need to deal with council directly. We handle it all.
Every METCON quote is fully itemised and includes:
There are no hidden costs. What we quote is what you pay, unless you request changes to the scope.
We use a progress payment structure, which means you pay in stages as the work is completed. This is standard practice in the NSW building industry and protects both parties.
The exact payment schedule depends on the project size and is set out clearly in your quote. We never ask for full payment upfront.
Construction can sometimes uncover unexpected issues, especially on older properties or difficult sites.
If we find something outside the original scope, such as hidden asbestos, unstable soil or structural defects, we tell you immediately, explain the options and give you a clear cost for any additional work before proceeding.
You are never hit with surprise bills.
We cover the full scope of commercial work with one licensed team.
